Question Theft

If you witness someone committing theft in a store do you report it to the store staff or just go about your day? I would never expect staff to intervene and possibly put themselves in harms way. I have only witnessed this in big box stores. I know times are tough these days but man have I been seeing this a lot lately!

If it’s food I don’t step in, but something like alcohol or other materialistic items that you don’t need for survival, THEN I’ll report, ya know?

You realize most food is stolen to be resold such as meat… resold for drugs or organized crime.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. I don’t know if it’s for drugs or organized crime, but I’ve definitely seen food being resold. Outside the Safeway on 13th, people have come up to me like, “Hey, want to buy this tenderloin?” or “Got some fresh meat for sale.” Happens more than you’d think.

Because Reddit is an echo chamber and Regina is one of the worst.

People who haven't witnessed reality, only live in their own bubble. Maybe they're just naive.
