We do steal every time. Somewhat around the amount everything went more expensive. Not because we need to, but out of principle. Mostly around 20% of what we buy. We are old and don’t look stereotypical enough, so we never get controlled.
They rob us, we rob back. It’s only fair. And yes, we know it’s not the shops that rob us, but the manufacturers. But we can’t rob a factory.

Your local Kroger isn’t robbing you. Neither are their suppliers in general, but even so you are not punishing them by shoplifting. The store already paid the producer for it regardless of whether the item is sold or stolen, meaning they don’t care either way.
If you want to steal, that’s your prerogative, but don’t pretend that you’re morally justified to take out your frustrations on someone unrelated.

Whatever a “Kroger” might be, but luckily the world has morally intact people like you! And I’m not frustrated, it’s not about the money, it’s the principle. Someone in the chain did raise prices for items I can’t boycott, I don’t care who. Also I don’t need justification. To whom should I justity? to you? lol.

Samesies! My partner isn’t vegan, so whenever I’m buying food for him, I just so happen to pull it a bit too quick over the self-checkout scanner so I guess it doesn’t scan, oops 🥺
copd@lemmy.world 23 minutes ago
in the UK they weigh the baggage area and if you don’t scan something it’ll should “UNEXPECTED ITEM I THE BAGGAGE AREA” and you get publicly shamed by all the whiter than white old people.

They beep so fucking loud here, this would not fly well with a cashier (or can) that watches well 😁
But we came up with different ways to do it over time. And yes, self checkout mostly, but we also do it at register if we have to. The most brazen one was a whole fucking door we drove by the cashier while my wife distracted him with questions and her charme 😁
We should not be proud of that, but we are. We probably wouldn’t even have noticed the price hikes. But I absolutely despise that they force you to pay more for things you can’t boycott. I can just not buy a car, but I can’t not buy food to protest. Fucking greed.

On a tangent, I just found out that Len Lesser was not only quite handsome in his younger years, he was also an extra in one of my favorite movies, the original “Papillon.”

I recently saw a clip of a video where a girl was working checkout at Walmart and the person just pushed their cart through the checkout and walked out the store with it and she was just like, well, whatever.

They are trained not to care unless they are loss-prevention for their own well being, and the latter can really only report the theft.
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 9 hours ago
They explicitly told us to not confront shoplifters. There was a training video where a guy got his ass kicked in the parking lot.

Janes Addiction - Been Caught Stealing
Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
Much more sustainable to shoplift a little bit at once. Steal like 1 item when you buy 10, make it something small. Oops, it just slid under something in your bag. Don’t make it the most expensive item of your shop.
The_v@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
In my area the self checkout systems at the grocery store often fritz out an don’t register the item. This is even after they beep. It’s truly wonderful. I consistently get 50% or more of the items in my cart for free. Nothing they can do to me either. They have me on video scanning every item. If their system buggers up the total it’s on them.
If they want somebody to catch computer errors then there’s a thing called “pay a employee.”
tomiant@piefed.social 16 hours ago
I’m not saying this is moral or anything, but if you buy something expensive, then you could theoretically go back to the store with the receipt, pick another of that thing from the store, and go to the register and tell them you want to return it.

Hey, don’t feel bad. A giant chain won’t go under because someone desperate needed to eat.
burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 15 hours ago
Also don’t do it AT the register. Those cameras are much closer and better than the cameras pointing down the aisles. Sure, you can say you made a mistake, voiding the ‘intent’ of the crime, but you’re much more likely to get caught and banned.

voiding the ‘intent’ of the crime
Worth noting that Target is known for making a profile on lifters. They wait you til you hit a threshold for a felony. The repeated behavior makes the intent clear as well.
turdcollector69@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
I’ve literally seen people just walk out with a cart full of shit. Employees chasing and yelling but nothing comes of it.
Depends on where you are but where I’m at they don’t go after anyone for this.
It’s sad because everything is getting locked up or they just close locations.
i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 hours ago
It’s why they have those annoying gates at Kroger now, to stop people from just walking out with carts full of groceries.
Lame.

I never shoplifted. But if I saw a shoplifter I have to say no, I didn’t. No idea what you are talking about. None whatsoever. Here is my receipt for my stuff… what other guy? I don’t look at other people. Kindly leave me be. Good day!
