      Yeah, I’ll start caring about shoplifting as soon as it becomes remotely the same magnitude of a problem as wage theft.

      Only time I’ll say something is a mom and pop store. Then the thief is being shitty. Go steal from a Walmart, not here.

          Nah, man, I ain’t gonna let anyone steal even one of the .15c honey sticks my local candy shop sells

          The old couple that run it are too sweet and caring to let even a modicum of bad shopper into their store without punishment

          (Seriously how could you steal from people who just give extra quarter/half pounds of their homemade candy because they can, or get upset when a specific product they remember you like has run out and you have to get something else? It happens! Monsters.)

            yeah I’d probably tell the kid doing it tgst this isn’t the place but I wouldn’t snitch. a 1.5c honey stick isn’t worth somebody getting shot.

      The right answer. You never know what people have on them. I personally don’t want to get shot or stabbed. Corporations have insurance, AND make enough profit for me to care.

      Only time I’d disagree with this is if it was a local family/co-op ran store. I couldn’t care less about the bottom line of a corporation
