I'm glad I'm in a third world country and if we catch you stealing fucking lipstick, expect this to be your punishment.
I have a system where I steal swag from the grocery store pretty much every time I go and "forget" to take stuff out of my reusable bags to put on the till. Fuck them, prices have sky rocketed and they're boasting annual record profits. I like to think I've saved quite a bit of money over the years.
I also go to places like Goodwill/thrift stores and if I find something I like and the price sucks I peel a sticker off something else with a better price and place it over the other one. They get free merchandise and have ridiculous prices

Do either of these count as shoplifting? Maybe not lol
Lmao.
I was a cashier once and you're the worst kind of client, who the fuck you think you are to "steal because muh expensive", then don't buy it bitch, I'm soooo glad I made min wage per hour because my father had a heart attack and I had to quit my college to help my family and I had to look out for people like you because we're trying to keep our jobs during the entirety of the COVID bullshit.
I'm glad I had to risk being pepper sprayed or stabbed if I intervened people like you from "giving it to the man" because you think a pepper bottle or a orange fruit or a chocolate bar is too much, work harder to pay for it nigga!
"Ooh but the big evil corps make record profits", then fucking shoot the CEO then or car bomb their HQ, or set yourself on fire in the main lobby as a protest, you're only hurting the poor fuckers who work in the store, don't you dare use that to justify your niggerish behavior.
What pisses me off is that no one is shoplifting rice or beans, or a piece of bread, it's the luxury expensive stuff, the best cuts of beef, the imported Italian sauces, or if you work on a pharmacy it ain't Tylenol being taken, it's the luxury shampoo.
We live in a trust society, society is going to shit fast worldwide because people like you cut corners,and then use your brethren cutting corners as a justification for your actions, I'm glad you think saving 20$ worth of groceries is a price to pay for a less trustworthy society.
There's a reason we used to flog thieves and behead those who committed fraud, you ain't stealing a lipstick, you're fucking over the entire fucking system, it's people like you who jump over turnstiles in metros, so poor schmucks the entire city over have to either pay more or bail out the bankrupt bus or metro system, it's people like you who justify "because everyone does it lol" or "because evil powerful rich people do it" that throw thrash in the street making it stink and look horrible, it's people like you who break windows and do graffiti.
When you behave like a animal, and it's not even for hunger purposes, you should be treated as an animal, or at least on here laughed at.
I hope you get really assblasted by this, at least you will feel 1% of whatever poor fucker at goodwill or CVS has to feel when dealing with the likes of you because he or she needs to pay rent or their baby formula, so they take it up the ass everyday, and you certainly ain't helping them.
