Shoplifting Tumblrinas

I assume they scratch off the RFID, or Barcode. Still, if any of these stupid twats steal a cell phone they will be in for a rude awakening trying to get it to work.
Actually that isn't hard. There are phone jacks on Amazon for like thirty dollars that randomly generate the code of another person with that same kind of IPhone. I could be using someone else's IPhone right now without ever touching their physical cell phone because for all intents and purposes it's the same "account".

Lol well I'll be damned. We're talking about before-purchased units, right? Because that's what I mean (not unlocked devices).

Interesting, informative post.
 
Some stores have a person at a desk in front of the changing rooms that check all the items you bring in and out. Most of the Walmarts in my area do that.

Well that's true of a lot of places. But the store I work in, we just unlock the dressing rooms and customers are free to come and go as they please. Corporate doesn't want us limiting the amount of stuff people take in there so it's hard to keep track of it all. We'd love to put a cap on the number of things you can have in the fitting rooms (and we'd love to sensor EVERYTHING including underwear and accessories) but we can't.
 
Used to know a girl irl who had a massive daddy/little girl fetish (surprise), and all she really bragged about on her blog was stealing from practically anybody: small local businesses, her friends, Walmart, restaurants, etc (kleptomaniac for sure). What I didn't understand was why she was not only being praised for it, but encouraged.
I (probably) might be wrong about this, but doesn't it work in such a way so that they must raise the prices of the other/same items to compensate for the stolen items? So aren't they just making it harder not only for themselves, but everyone else?

I'm getting so fucking sick of this SJW-esque, counter-culture,"fuck Amerikkka!!" rhetoric, guys. Seems to be invading every nook and cranny of society the longer it's left to fester.
Sorry to sperg out about it but I wish this shit would stop. (:_(
I believe most of the time it's just taken out of the employees pay checks, but too much theft at a store will get the location closed. Since there's no point of having inventory taken and putting employees in potential danger.
 
I don't think it's legal to take losses out of employees paychecks directly. However, it's perfectly legal to cut hours to make up for the lost profits.
Yep. And it's not exactly the same thing, but I've noticed that a lot of people on tumblr defend diner-dashing by saying "oh well it's illegal for them to penalize the employee for the lost profit of the order." No, it's not legal to directly "punish" employees (either waitstaff or sales associates) for loss, but it's not like companies, whether it's a store (big or small) or a restaurant, ever find loopholes to avoid following the letter of the law, right? :roll:

Another really shitty problem with dine and dash is that it will often result in your waitperson actually paying for the privilege of waiting on you.

Servers tip out other people who work at the restaurant but are not in positions to be tipped. Busboys, kitchen and cleaning staff, and the bar-backs receive a portion of a servers tips at the end of the shift. However, the amount servers are made to tip out is generally a flat percentage on food sold, assuming the the server got, say, 15% tips for every table they waited. When people stiff on tips - let alone the whole bill - the server ends up in the hole because that server still owes her coworkers a cut of the 15% she didn't make when people ran without paying. It's done this way to prevent servers from deliberately not reporting or underreporting cash tips to reduce their nightly pay-out amount but fair or not fair, the waiter goes into the red just go serve a thief.

You are correct. You cannot directly fuck employees for losses, but you can indirectly do so in about a million ways.
You can't take their money, but you can fire them for allowing people to walk out with merchandise, cut hours to make up for the shrink, suspend raises, and put in absurd, bullshit procedures that protects merchandise at the expense of their sanity.
Did you ever wonder why when you buy video games in a store you have to go interrupt an employee so they can track down the key, unlock the case, and get it for you?
That's why.

So really, it's not that shoplifting hurts individual employees as much as it makes the entire shitty industry just a little shittier for the poor fuckers trapped in it.
 
As a retail worker I hope these selfish cunts get what's coming to them I mean the excuses are down right retarded "but capitalism is unfair."sorry to tell you but communism is pretty bad and you're only affecting the consumers and the workers you claim to care about when you keep shoplifting "oh but I need this and can't afford it."unless it's the bare essentials you don't need it and you can get off your lazy ass and get a job to afford said item you say you need
 
I actually know someone who does this now and it really disappoints me because he's literally rich or at least upper middle class, as in he lives in a giant house with only his parents I believe and when we were younger he had 2 bedrooms to himself. He also had an iphone and all that good shit.
 
It's all the satisfaction of rebellion, without any of the risk! Snowflakes fight "the man" in their own, stupid, pointless ways.
I would argue that shoplifting has significant risk (arrest, possibly missing out on career and education opportunities, etc.) but I agree in saying that it's not as high-risk as other stereotypical "rebellious" behavior.

There are still risks involved in getting caught, and they sure are sticking it to the man by getting minimum wage workers in hot water thanks to their entitlement to fancy make-ups.
 
apparently we are all transphobic because we are against theft. A FUCKING CRIME.
