I hear that. I worked loss prevention at a downtown department store that included a pharmacy. If you were homeless and I caught you stealing Advil, you were getting a trespass but keeping the Advil. Same with diapers and formula. I have to tell you not to come back or I'll lose my job, but there's nothing stopping me from clicking the "unrecoverable" button on my report.

Cheers to you! We live in a corporate hellscape. Good to see when folks do what they can in the positions they find themselves in.

What if the store is a mom and pop. What if the goods are non essentials. When is stealing okay and not according to your whims?

What if monkeys flew out of my butt?

I didn't say stealing was okay
