no, you're not.
you're a security guard of a parking lot outside of a grocery store.

>>18777246
I'm not actually a security guard at all my entire post was a lie, I'm really a police officer.

how do you even shoplift past leaving and not paying when it tells you to pay or selecting cheaper veggies for loose items? only other one i know of is removing barcodes which is risky af

based shitposting op

>>18777257
I deserve far more than that, actually. And I make it, too.

I've seen two shoplifting incidents in the last year just visiting my local Aldi.

1) a 16-18 year old guy stealing chocolate - threatened to beat up the female staff, then left when a male staff member arrived, who he also threatened
2) a 30ish year old woman stealing a bottle of vodka, getting caught by security, and crying lots as they phoned the police

>>18777262
I reccomend getting a job where they overpay you to be a braindead moron who can outsmart thieves and give you a 50% discount on all groceries and hand out expired food to you in huge amounts and also sometimes thieves think they are clever by taking things out of packages, I get to keep those too because they can't go back on the shelf(usually I don't though, I'm pretty paranoid about eating stranger-handled food).

>>18777265
If i ever got caught i'd just run the fuck out of there, theres no way im waiting around for the cops to come

>>18777224
Sure. Shoplift exclusively from black-owned businesses then.

>>18777224
If I see someone steal a cheap loaf of bread and an apple I keep my mouth shut because it's not worth my time and effort.
If I see them stealing prime rib and caviar, however, it's clearly not just because they're starving.
I obviously ALWAYS report them if they're a Coloured.

>>18777305
I remember this from when they taught us about interpretation of statistics. Something I assume is no longer being taught.

>>18777224
Kek loser

>>18777224
It's not even the job of security guards here, they put them because it's a large enough bunch of people in one closed place and mohammed loves a crowd..
The lazy fuckers never approach cunts that fit the profile and definitely shoplift, but the boomer fuck decided to check my receipt out of all people.

>>18777224
I stole 5 bananas yesterday because the automatic checkout wouldn't ring them up.

>>18777224
what if they are shoplifting caviar and steak?

>>18777338
Reminds me of how I was trying to check out a big pack of shaving razors and somehow it glitched the self checkout thing and it scanned the item as a 50 cent bottle of water

>>18777224
I volunteered at a food charity in Texas.
Only thing you need to do to have food security here is not pick fights when you come.
We always had a surplus of food, and people willing to deliver to your lazy ass.
No being a given bag of green beans you don't know how to eat is not an insult, you do not need to assault the staff for it. You can just say "no" or even scream like a retard and you will be fine.
Anyone seen shoplifting food should be shot immediately because they have proven they are too retarded to exist in our society.

In high school I was a wagie pushing carts around. I saw a fat man tackle an equally fat woman leaving the store and roll around on the ground with her. I went up wondering what the fuck was going on and he asked me to help him. I asked to see a badge or ID because right now he just looked like a lunatic so while wrestling with her he uses one hand to show his security ID, but I’m not touching some sweaty fat bitch so I just go inside to tell a manager about it.

Don’t take your job too seriously lmao

>>18777321
if you smile and say hello to the greeters as you come in they will literally never check your receipt as you leave

>>18777305
What do the red dots represent? Where the plane was hit or something else?

>>18777384
I know, it was just a special case asshole who decided to be a cunt for no reason even though I'm a regular. Shoplifting prevention isn't even the job of armed security. At least I think he doesn't work there anymore

>>18777370
Don't worry, I don't. They have to attack me first before I do anything physical and even then I usually just keep dodging their crummy attempts and mock them while not fighting back. I'm not a big guy, but I am fast.

It's pretty comical how much better at the sobstory women are than men when they try to go with the "pity me" route.

Women tend to pair a sympathetic story with a wavering voice and tears and whatnot, it's a very consistent act.

Men usually don't try to guilt me into letting them go when they're caught, but when they do, they can't remain tonally consistent. Men basically have one setting, and that's anger. So they'll be giving me the same reasons about how their family is starving and the bank account is empty and I'm working for the bad guys, but they'll be yelling it at me and be very confrontational and aggressive, when they are asking for sympathy. It doesn't work that way, you gotta commit to the act. You can't ask for pity and sympathy with anger in your voice. If you're going to play the part of the beggar, you have to go all the way.

Anyway, it doesn't matter much either way because I'm immune to emotional attempts, generally, whether you're a girl or a boy. But girls are obviously way better at it.

>>18777411
it's almost like men and women are not the same

>>18777416

>>18777224
oh yes I fucking did. private property rights are the foundation of a free society.

>>18777411
the fact of the matter is women know how to manipulate others by instinct while men are slaves to base emotions.

>>18777387
Yes. Something about Survivor Bias, the planes that successfully returned mainly had damage to those locations so they were thinking about improving the armor to those locations, but them some galaxy brain engineer pointed out they made it back with damage there, the planes that didn't come back probably had damage in the places not marked and those are the places that should have their armor improved.

>>18777224
if I see someone shoplifting anything, I didn't, because it's not my problem

>>18777370
Top kek, I wish my HS wagie jobs had impromptu sumo.

>>18777548

>>18777224
the closest I ever came to "shoplifting" was at a costco when we checked out and left the store we were loading our stuff in to the car and there was a bottle of vodka that we did not put in the cart.

seems the previous person didn't get their bottle and the stupid receipt checker didn't actually check the number of items.

>>18777746
That's a freebie, if you go through check-out line with something in your cart and they don't charge you for it or even notice, it's not even stealing.

>>18777224
when I was 5 I broke open a package of gumdrops and ate some, does that count?

>>18777224
I was a teenage in the 70's and stopped by the store "detective" who claimed he saw me put something in my pocket. had me empty my pockets. there was no store property in my pockets. he had seen me put my list in my pocket.

I'm white so I didn't get shot.

>>18777224
I was at the grocery store in late August and saw a super fat guy shoving bottles of liquor in his coat. I just walk past him because I just needed my food for the week and truthfully don’t care. I haven’t shoplifted since I was like 12 and poor. As I’m checking out I see this fat bastard try to book it past security. The guard tells him to stop and grabs a bottle out of his pocket. The thief literally starts shaking and then shits all over him shorts and legs. It was both hilarious and disgusting. The security guard looked suicidal and like he wanted to pummel tubby for having diarrhea all over. They made the fatty wait for police to show up.

Most shoplifting people are brain dead

>>18777788
>They made the fatty wait for police to show up.
Lmao what a retard. You could just walk away at that point.
Most places will build a case on you for the next time you shoplift and wait until you steal over $1000 and then call the cops the moment you show up again, then have you arrested and press charges.
I've never stolen a thing but it seems pretty easy if you have a lot of grocery options.

>grocery stores have security guards where she lives
lol
It's nice not to live in the ghetto/'hood.

>>18777224
Yes, I did. They steal lobster tails and filet mignon to trade for crack, nobody is starving here unless their parents traded their EBT food away for drugs.

Then you're double dumb because you should know that I can walk out with whatever I like and as long as i apologize, act dumb and give it back when I'm stopped then I can attempt to steal shit all day every day.

>>18777411
>I'm working for the bad guys
They are correct.

>>18777224

Holy fuck you've never worked in retail.

some bitch at supermarket called the police at me when i was like 7 for stealing a single candy bar, funniest thing is i had like 20$ on me that i got for my birthday cause i was mostly doing it to see if i can. ended up just chatting with the policemen for like half an hour and then they let me go

idk there are cameras everywhere, not worth it. I legit only "stole" some ginger once because I had the bag around my wrist and neither me nor the cashier noticed, in fact I only did when someone looked at me funny for carrying around a piece of wrist ginger around like a fag for who knows how long.

I feel bad for people who "can't afford to feed their families" but theft is theft. If you actually gave a shit about your family you'd find a way to spend less on alcohol, cigarettes and/or weed. If you can't do that then you can swallow your pride and go to a food bank or house of worship for assistance. Being prideful or bad with money is not an excuse to steal and neither is the argument that "well I'm just stealing from a big corporation; they have deep pockets".

We need to bring back shit like flogging or the stocks as punishment for all these low level crimes. You can't put these people in jail because they'll get radicalized by the actually dangerous people in prison but you can't just let them get away with it and tear at the fabric of decent, civilized society.

>>18777364
Notice how nobody in America is starving, they're food insecure. Ive seen fat 200 pound women with disgustingly fat children claiming to be food insecure.

Notice how nobody ever shiplifts a bag of rice or beans or flour. It's always expensive shit that they think they're entitled to. And it's because they CAN afford rice, beans, and flour. They just WANT expensive food and don't want to be a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.

>>18777224
I got yelled at by the manager of a local independent grocery for writing down a bunch of prices on specialty items (for comparison shopping, obv). Obviously independent stores are paranoid about being undercut, and I suppose I could have just taken a few photos discreetly with my phone, but that was still a little bit of a pain in the ass behavior.

Are you a security guard for a chain or a local shop? Is your manager worried about corporate espionage?

>>18779113
>I feel bad for people who "can't afford to feed their families" but theft is theft.
If you're in any first-world country then there's food stamps (SNAP in the U.S.) which are extremely generous. The only downside is when they are tied to unemployment management, which may be have a fixed duration or time without interview callbacks etc., which can be rather punishing in a shitty economy or if you're underemployed or struggling with shitty or no job advice or experience and in the wrong location. But in most areas of the U.S. and the first world, food stamps are virtually unrestricted.

>>18778658
From when I worked in a grocery store the biggest theft that I heard about was a seafood clerk repeatedly stealing with the self-checkout. What sort of idiot steals so brazenly from their employer.

>>18777370
it's probably the most fun part of the job for him. Taking things seriously can be a way to enjoy them. Sure you could be apathetic at everything but that gets boring

I would become a security guard at a supermarket only if I was allowed to chop off hands when I caught someone stealing a loaf of bread

>>18777224
>remember kids: if you see someone shoplifting food, no you didn't (air jordans are not food).

>>18778798
Okay, and? If the good guys want me to work for them so badly, they should pay me.

It's not considered very virtuous to accept money for a job and then not do it, anyway.

>>18777224
Imagine having security at a grocery store lmao.

Ive never seen anyone steal. My walmart doesnt even have security yet. I think onxe population hits 10% nigger security is automatic

>>18779237
it is though?
have you tried not living in a shithole?

>>18779206
Also because rice, beans, and, flour are in big ass bags that are harder to shoplift making it not worthwhile to do so. I'm not going to shoplift the $5 bag of beans thats liable to get me caught instead of the $14 block of cheese thats less liable. Obviously most shoplifts are just niggers or pale niggers in gibsmedats mode but its simple sense to shoplift the easier to hide but expensive shit like flea drops or deodorant.

I got a trick for yall shopping at Sam's Club

>Buy multiples of one item
>Go through self checkout
>Only scan 1 of said item
>Person at door just randomly scans a few items
>won't notice if you have 2 but only paid for 1 because eve if they scan it, it shows as good.

Worst case scenario you can say "oh shit lemme go back it must not of scanned"

I've never done more then 1 extra thing myself but I typically am not buying a large amount of stuff. I bet if you have a legit cart full of shit you can get away with more easily.

>>18780045
they absolutely sell small bags of rice and beans that would fit in cargo pants pockets but when people are stealing its always for highest dollar amount and not necessity like starvation because starvation was never in the cards. people just don't want to spend money on luxuries. cheese is literally a luxury. you don't need it. but everyone in this country has a nog mentality now where just surviving isn't good enough. I want everything but I don't want to have to work for it or pay for it.

>>18777257
Do these things live near a power plant or contaminated drinking water? What the fuck. The brown one can't even throw birds.. like she can't psychically do it with her claws. Wow.

>>18779206
no matter what you're stealing at a grocery store there is basically the same risk of getting caught. it'd be stupid to even try to steal rice when you can get a steak

>>18777257

God I hate these faggots on twitter. They're some city-dwelling retards with cushy do-nothing jobs who LOVE pretending to be part of some resistance. Their entire lives are parasitizing off the last of the actual work still being done in America, actively contributing to our downfall. But they can't wait to tell you about how down with "worker's rights" they are while they guzzle their slave-farmed Starbucks coffee and toss the cup into the "recycling" for it to be shipped to China and dumped in the ocean. These people deserve nothing but the worst. Luckily, once the inevitable occurs, those in the centers of the biggest cities, the most valuable real estate in the country, will perish first.

Do your self-checkouts have cameras?

What nonsensical hypocrisy.

>>18777224
What if people collectively decided to only report black people who were shoplifting?

Nah, nothing is more hilarious than pointing at a dude and yelling “hey he’s stealing, thief, thief” when you catch someone shoplifting.

Funny robbery story for you anons... was at K-Mart buying jumbo dogs for the 4th when I see this ratty dude taking a salami and putting it in his pocket. I began stealthily following him and saw him stealing some lady-products too. I set down my 6 packs of jumbo dogs and approached him. I said "Hey. Don't be scared. Let's go to the self-checkout and I'll pay for these for you".
I told him to grab a couple of other things he might need and he looked like he was going to cry. He could barely talk through trying to hold back tears, but managed to say "You are a good man..."
Despite him smelling awful and being covered in dirt, I put my hand on his back and let him know it's OK.
After he grabbed a loaf of bread and a gallon of water, we went to the front. This is when I stopped at customer service and told them I caught him stealing. The loss prevention guy was right there so he was forced to leave his would-be contraband. He was banned from the store.

The moral of the story? FUCK junkies. Food banks exist. Soup kitchens exist. Not a single person in America is starving to death. If you want food, you can eat for free. Don't STEAL like a piece of shit lowlife. I guarantee he was gonna resell that shit on the street for drug money, fucking degenerate.

I once caught a well-dressed college kid scooping several bags of fancy nuts and gourmet nougat and stuff from a pick and mix stand and labelling them all as raisins (the cheapest item by weight in the stand).

Let the guy at the self-service checkout know to be on the lookout (obvs the guy wasn't going to take his honey roasted macadamias labelled as raisins through a manned checkout).

Went back a few days later, they caught the guy at the self-service and made him pay full price on all items then banned him from the store. Checkout Charlie reckons he tried to plead 'won't have enough for rent' but fuck him.

>>18777418

>>18780620
I'm against helping corps but I'm down if it's for fucking over rich college cunts

>>18780648
Ultimately though it's the people who don't steal who get fucked over. You think corps soak those losses? Fuck no, they pass them on to the honest customer.

I don't give a fuck whether a thief is a well dressed college kid or a tatted-up fat welfare whore with more kids than teeth. I'll drop a dime on a nigga in a heartbeat and not lose any sleep.

That said I once had a little old lady in front of me who had to put back some chicken mince when she didn't quite have enough cash. If meat leaves the chiller it has to be thrown, generally speaking. So I bought the mince and caught up with her, turns out she also had an elderly cat who liked it and couldn't eat dried cat food any more. She was pretty grateful, made me feel pretty good for the rest of the week. Also, trans women aren't women and never will be.

I've heard target does this, which fits since they're known for being extremely tough on shoplifters. I can't imagine walmart cops making up a dossier on every homeless who walks out with a pack of hotdogs and a tallboy, though.

>>18777262
You just stick stuff on the conveyer belt that you haven't scanned. Basically you scan one item and put two on the belt. Occasionally it will catch you because there's a weight sensor, but there's quite a bit of leeway. You get a feel for it after awhile. That said, there is some risk there because if someone does get suspicious, they've got you on camera pretty deliberately taking stuff you haven't paid for.

>>18781017
Here in the UK the local authorities are in the habit of constantly moving vagrants and lowlifes around to different towns. I think it's an attempt to stop them getting access to drugs. Trouble is they're always put together with other crackheads so nothing really changes. Trouble for shops is that this means you're constantly getting a new stream of crackheads so couldn't build up a case against them if you tried. Plus most are homeless so where the fuck are the police gonna find them anyway?

95% of crime pays. The 5% who get caught should take all the punishment of the others. If the police would just drag a crackhead round the back of the shop and beat the everliving shit out of them we'd have far less crime.

>>18777240
this. i put a playstation though as potatoes

>>18781084
No we wouldn't. Criminals aren't weighing up potential consequences. They're expecting to get away with it, same as gamblers who lose everything to win. People see other people get ruined by bad decisions, but think they're the exception because they're the star of their own story.

>>18777224
Just for that people should rob you more. I bet your wife likes BBC

>>18778774
That's not how it works, well not everywhere at least. Sure if you keep it to places like walmart, and petty shit under $20 they'll just trespass you off the property. Go ahead and fuck around at macy's or target. They will prosecute every time 100%.

"Tough on crime" tards apparently haven't figured out that these kinds of threats barely work because (a) they're usually directed at literal teenagers (who will be tried like an adult anyway), and (b) once that adult is on the permanent shitlist, there's no "super doubleplusbad shitlist", there is only one shitlist and he's on it for life. So why shouldn't he steal?

>>18781017
>I've heard target does this
Complete bullshit, use your fucking brain. A store owner or manager isn't going to wait for some magical arbitrary value of theft to be reached before they call the cops on you, theft is theft. It doesn't matter if it's a 50 cent chocolate or a 50 dollar cut of meat, the cops can charge you with the same thing, the value is immaterial, there's no "case" to be built in shoplifting, it's not murder for fuck's sake. If you're suspected of shoplifting, someone responsible for their store is going to do something about it then and there, not wait for you to come back and steal more shit out of their pocket.

>>18781242
>It doesn't matter if it's a 50 cent chocolate or a 50 dollar cut of meat, the cops can charge you with the same thing
In the UK the police will not investigate any store theft under £100. You're a naive retard if you think the police care about petty theft, that's why it happens so much in the first place. Hell in winter most homeless crackheads actually WANT to get arrested and locked away because it's a roof over their head and hot meals in the winter.

This is why they should just be taken around the back of the shop and fucking brutalised. You cannot reason with these people and traditional punishments aren't punishments at all, so they should be treated as if they were animals and beaten.

What's worse, treating criminals with brutality, or forcing honest people with jobs to subsidise the comfortable existence of criminals?

At Walmart they put a tag inside the boxes for some of the electronics that automatically pings the security gate unless it's deactivated at the counter.

why steal $3 worth of rice and have to keep going back when you can steal $20 worth of rice and have that last you a month? if you get caught it's the same penalty either way

>>18777240
Based. It's hilarious seeing those filthy gypsy retards getting caught because they still use the traditional way of stealing, instead of just using self checkout and not scanning the expensive stuff.

>In the UK the police will not investigate any store theft under £100. You're a naive retard if you think the police care about petty theft
Jesus Christ you're a fucking idiot, you're talking out of your arse, you honestly believe that the fucking police would just walk away from a business owner and say "not my problem" after he reports a theft? it's their job to "investigate" every petty squabble, theft and incident reported by the taxpayers you fucking dunce.
No they won't go out of their way to track down some faggot who stole a Yorkie bar but if they happen to catch that same faggot red-handed you bet your moronic ass that they will issue an arrest.
Just because petty theft occurs doesn't mean that everyone is getting away with it you fool.

NTA but he's right.

>you honestly believe that the fucking police would just walk away from a business owner and say "not my problem" after he reports a theft?
Yes, 100%. This happens, I've seen it happen.

They might turn up and make a note of it, sure, but what do you think happens? A few years ago I saw some lads walk into an off-licence and start taking crates of lager. Two shop staff: "Excuse me. EXCUSE ME." Thieves weren't even being subtle, just kept blanking them.

Between them the staff decided not to call the police because they'd have to 1. wait for the police (could take hours), 2. file a report, and 3. nothing would probably happen. And who's going to pay their overtime?

The police aren't some magic force, anon. They're not compelled to arrest everyone for every arrestable offence, and they often do issue a warning or outright let someone go even if they've 100% committed a criminal offence.

If it's a civil matter or whether a business chooses to persecute someone is a different story.

Where the hell do you live where your impression of the police is like this?

>>18781242

>Most places will build a case on you for the next time you shoplift and wait until you steal over $1000 and then call the cops the moment you show up again, then have you arrested and press charges.
This shit is pure propaganda from retailers who are trying to discourage people from shoplifting. I've worked lots of retail management jobs in my life and I can tell you that the cameras are terrible quality, no one is watching them, and in the vast majority of cases, we don't even know that anything has been stolen until it comes up short when we do inventory, which is once or twice a year at most.

Some places like Target do employ full time loss prevention guys who will walk around the store in normal clothes trying to catch people shoplifting but you still need to look/act suspicious to draw their attention in the first place, and they still need to actually see you concealing something to confront you, ie they can't do anything based on pure suspicion. Absolutely no one has a team of people watching the cameras waiting to catch you stealing.

>>18783308
Somebody is wayching in this video, and starts communicating with the employee after the shoplifter hides in the restroom.

Jesus fucking christ, that commentary is the worst thing I've ever heard. You actually watch this shit?

Tiny convenience stores are not the same situation as larger retailers. You can cover the entire store with 2-3 cameras and easily glance at them from time to time while doing office work. It's also clearly in a black neighborhood where everyone who walks in is a suspect.

The self checkouts in my city all have a sentinel, though. Is this standard? Do I just not scan things while they're standing there?

>>18783486
I don't see how a legal argument can be made for not scanning being illegal at all. Zero evident criminal behavior to go off of and too much plausible deniability based on human error. There's no age requirement, handling requirement, liability contract or anything to use it. You can be half drunk and moderately schizophrenic and use it. The only way that's possible is if they are the ones accepting liability for improper scanning (which is why you can't sue them for overcharging if you scan too much either). If they confront you, just say it was an accident.

>>18779465
If that happened to me, I'd tell them to fuck off and never shop there again. It's your right as a consumer to compare prices.

>>18777262

>>18783528
They don't need to build a legal case to ban you from their store, though; businesses reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.

>>18783528
Also holy shit the bootlicking answers when you search sites like Quora about self checkout errors are so fucking bad
>you'll be charged with accidental theft
Theft requires intent, there is literally no such thing
>they have scanners for when you bag an item that wasn't scanned bro
As someone that bags duplicate items first and then scans the last one multiple times, I can attest that is impossible. Also not everyone uses bags.
>the cameras and the product security personnel are watching you!
They can't even staff fucking cashiers, who the fuck is watching you so closely they can identify everything in your cart, anything that goes through the scanner, anything you use the gun on, and make sure it's all accurate?
>they might randomly check your receipt
I'm not an employee, getting the scanning right isn't my problem, only complying if they dispute it.
>crime doesn't hecking pay so stop!
Again, not scanning something isn't a crime in the first place. Eat shit wagies, missing inventory is your problem not mine.

>>18783633
Guess if that really happens I'll finally have an excuse to consider using their pickup service. If. Lmao.

>>18780413
depends where you live. Some of them are starting to get them.
Particularly, in NZ/AUS, the countdown self checkouts have cameras which check your food is the right color (so limes to lemons wont work, and the wrong colored chilli wont work). It only works for a few items.

>>18783308
Every so often I will act shady on purpose until one of them starts to follow me, then I will circle around the store a few times picking stuff up and putting it in other places are random, and then leave with my regular purchase anyway (beans meat rice and eggs).
Once the guy gets chewed out for accusing you of shoplifting and being wrong a couple of times, you're basically allowed to shoplift for free.

I make it a game.
If I feel slighted at a store, I target that store for a month and set a value goal in which to quietly steal a certain amount from, small heists are about $10, larger heists are up to $50, I seldom go higher unless something really pissed me off.
It could be the cheese being twice the price than the store opposite, it could be a mistake the casheer made, it could be the store pushing past the sell by date and trying to sell grey ass meat for full price, it could even be a shartmart with those weird robot things, it could even just be that I'm bored. The reason is just part of the game.
It all started because some cunt sold me some mouldy cigarettes and never accepted the reciept, I stole back the value but I got the taste of free shit, now here I am.
You are nothing to me but an obstacle, OP some of you may even be a challenge, but none have caught me and they never will.
I know every trick, every strategy ruthlessly carried out with ninja precision, I know every blind spot, every layout, I can elude your cameras right down to the perfect pixel on your monitor, just out of sight always.
I learn every perfect corner, I have developed a sixth survival sense at this point, I can master my expression and can bullshit my way out of any situation. My pockets are deep and hidden, and my hands are as skillful as a brain surgeon's.

I am the shadow that steals chocolate bars in the dusky evenings as you wait for your shift to end, I am the 24th hour of your 'always open' convenience store, I am the faceless thief you have seen a thousand times, I am the man you said good morning to, I am the man you never even saw.
I am out there, always, you are my rival, I respect your profession, but you'll never catch me, OP!
It is likely I even beat you at your own store and neither you or I will ever even know.
Thanks for taking out those who do not respect the art, I will always be the one you missed. I deserve my absolutely trivial and totally vain spoils of war.

>>18781568
anon, chances are police literally wont even show up. They are incredibly short staffed in most of the world, and unless a major theft occurs, they will just ask the store owner to come to the station and give a statement and maybe check in a week later.

>>18777240
Just be careful with them, many have cameras now, and some have cameras hidden near your hands would be too. Humans can err, humans can be talked to and distracted, a smart man knows, a smart man gets away with it.
They also have a habit of sperging out and alerting staff, most of the time it's some zoomer on their first job who won't ever see shit, some times it's the security guy who just so happened to be nearby, friendly guys but don't try shit, admit you're literally a retard if he gets sus and ask for assistance, you may still get away with it but at that point you probably should have just gone to a quieter store.

>>18783716
If they had staff for cameras 1 out of 10 registers wouldn't be staffed. It's literally harder to watch someone self check from a camera than it is to just open a fucking register. Also if the store has a help wanted sign up they do not have fucking security.

And also if it's a small store or a store where half the cashpoints are empty all the time, or if a zoomer with no experience is at the till all the time or an old person who seems slow, then it's a solid chance there's fuck all security.
You get the vibe for a perfect target, one store had such oooooold cameras that it was debatable if they even worked (though one must never assume), there's a notoriously bad blind spot at the the back where neither humans or cameras can ever see you stuff half your shit in a backpsck, half the lights are turned off in the Winter (people underestimate how dim lighting helps shoplifters) and there's like 5 people who work there at most, it's a perfect testing ground for my antics. Place is being shut down soon anyway but it's a branch that notoriously overcharges and cuts corners to the point where it runs stores dry, so fuck em.I dindu nuffin.
I'm also the type of nigga to hop on boarf a city tram without paying and hide in the crowd to avoid ever having my ticket checked, so I am a fucking scumbag nigga who has never been caught. I am .5% better than other shoplifters because I'm not a crackhead or violent, I just do it for the fun of it.

>>18783838
Sounds like playing with fire compared to just going somewhere with self checks and clearly understaffed, which are literally everywhere. Items in the cart are legally impenetrable.

>>18777370
kek i also worked as a cart push in highschool, and saw a fat loss prevention dude tackle another fatty.

i worked at walmart for a few months. always did self-checkout when possible because it's just standing around and then scanning a printout "badge" for alcohol or weird substances, price overrides, errors.
i never once verified the proper age when buying alcohol, i just had to have the camera see me physically holding the ID and then i punched in 01-01-1999 or whatever. if you didn't bother to scan the shit under your cart, not my problem, never had the "greeters" stop anybody.

You know some "scammers" actually do this as a career right? Act as suspicious as possible but do nothing illegal, hope loss prevention is anal enough to detain you, then sue corporate over it. Mega-corps pay massive annual legal insurance premiums to cover shit like this so they will just automatically settle with you for like $20k rather than risk a jury trial.

>>18782549
do you know what "negotiable" means, retard?

>>18785150
>Snitches get stitches
This line always amuses me. It of course comes from some blend of gang and prison culture, as well as the informal code of silence that virtually all ethno-cultural communities form against outsider law enforcement. The problem is that in modern civilized societies, that outsider law enforcement is usually the only true, just law there is.

For example, in the deep South there were many examples of everyone from citizens to police to judges to governors circling the wagons and keeping lips and documents shut to the FBI when blacks were lynched. They justified it in interviews as preserving their culture against outside attack, but of course they were blatantly denying justice to almost half their population (pre Great Migration). Ethnic enclaves in the cities historically got petty crime dealt with by the organized crime bosses, but those same bosses who kept nigger drug dealers and thieves out of their communities were the ones bringing their own drug dealers and thieves in. Snitching was still culturally verboten however, even against known murderers.

A hilarious moment regarding this culture was when some gangsta rapper put out a youtube PSA saying "Snitches Get Riches" regarding anyone who came forward with Donald Trump's tax returns. Adages like "Snitches Get Stitches" have zero place in the 21st century, and we all know it. They had no place in the 20th century, and arguably had no place in the 19th century, and yet they stubbornly persisted.

Also notice how I didn't make one economic or normative moral argument here. Maybe we can do that in a different post.

>>18782549
>It’s not theft it’s a microeconomic adjustment to mitigate consumer inflationary pressure.
How does theft "mitigate consumer inflationary pressure" when 1) there is zero evidence for, and ample evidence against, then notion that a person would ever buy the product they steal, or even a close substitute; and 2) a bulk of theft will result in the store A) raising prices, B) hiring more security or more staff floor coverage or paying for them to work longer hours or buying more security equipment, C) increasing hazard pay, or D) a combination or one other possibility I forgot while typing this; all of which is inflationary.

Mass theft raises the net costs you will pay, period. You're another level of retarded.

>>18777224
I did the same thing until about a month ago, which store do you work for? Fucking hated dealing with crackheads

>>18783486

The guards generally just don't care, I have walked out with bottles of spirits with the tags still out and nothing ever came of it (I paid for them but the staff forgot to remove them)

>>18787266
>the fee is lower than the gas you'd use if you take your own vehicle.
My vehicle is my feet. My gas is rice and pasta.

Doing some quick math, it seems that a kilogram of rice gives me almost the same amount of usable energy (5.2 MJ) as a kilogram of gasoline to a car (44 MJ at 10% useful efficiency). The international price average for all types of rice is $2/kg (obviously this is averaged from sushi grade to the very cheapest, and likely not by production volume, because wtf), but the USA WalMart price for white rice is about $1.12/kg. Gasoline, meanwhile, has no bulk discount and is largely completely fungible in about 3 consumer grades, but the national average is currently fluctuating between $3-4 depending on the state. So it looks like my energy costs for walking in this naive calculation are significantly lower.

This of course doesn't take into account LCA, externalities, the actual variable cost of energy I expend in walking versus fixed costs of homeostasis, other mechanical efficiencies, etc. It was a fun distraction however.

>>18787484
>it's merely a manifestation of in-group preference
It obviously is not "merely a manifestation of in-group preference", since people will readily call on their local authority figures to enforce order within their own communities, if they are capable. You can snitch within your own community.

I didn't write that whole thing because I don't know at least somewhat of what I'm talking about.

>>18787527
huh? bit of a non-sequitur. I didn't argue that snitching doesn't occur. just that the prevalence of the sentiment of "snitches get stitches" carrying over to the present day is attributable to in-group preference, which is an effect that presents to different degrees in different people depending on their personality and culture.

>Ultimately though it's the people who don't steal who get fucked over.
Except for the guy who got banned from his local grocery store (which may have prices a full dollar or two less on essential items than the next nearest store that's within reasonable distance, a several dollars less than a drug store, which ultimately adds up to a shitton over a full years' rent period), or the woman who gets a misdemeanor fine.
>You think corps soak those losses? Fuck no, they pass them on to the honest customer.
Taking a closer look at the microeconomics, I think it could go either way, depending on the company's knowledge of their local market, as to whether an increase in losses due to theft would increase or decrease prices for consumers on store items. However, it would definitely result in them stocking significantly reduced inventory, which may mean, for example, there's no way to buy milk or eggs at the end of the week.

>>18777240
maybe in slower towns, new systems record you even if it doesn't seem like it, was scanning once and got distracted before bagging and all of a sudden it replayed the footage of me on the screen, was offputting

>>18783683
This increases the store's costs paid to loss prevention (time=money; distraction from other shoplifters=loss) which leads to higher prices when aggregated across the country over time.
>>18784284
This leads to higher costs for insurers and higher premiums which get distributed in some proportion to many legal or loss types of insurance, many of which are bought by average consumers (yes, corporate insurers also insure ordinary people). Yadda yadda aggregates.

In the real world, things cost money.

Shoplifting is a misdemeanor in most states up to between $500 and $2000 (I think the latter is Texas -- California raising it to $1000 became smack dab in the average of the country). Generally there's no protection for any form of citizen detention for misdemeanors, and private security only has so much leeway, especially when large corporations weigh a misdemeanor loss against potential risk of a tort claim (accusation of excessive force, injury, racism, etc., any of which might just be calculated by the company to be better as settled for, say, $3000 minimum including fees for the paperwork? -- already far exceeding any loss).

On the other hand, a small local grocery store clerk may be a relative of the owner, who as a private owner of the company and its assets could maybe challenge that a person walking out with any amount of goods is somewhat tantamount to stealing their personal property -- though I'm sure there's case law on this and I'm not looking it up.

You should post that on Twitter.

>>18785051
When I was a part of store management there was a loss prevention guy that explained all he could really do was just notify police about whats up and tell them a license plate if he happened to see it. Security in general is more aimed at looking like they’ll stop shit from going down instead of actually doing it, since that could open a whole new can of worms that the basedboys and wannabe Patrick Batemans in corproate don’t want to deal with. Not that stuff doesn’t happen of course, thats just not their main purpose. But they’re pretty much cucked if anything actually serious does happen, which is one of the reasons why so many stores big and small have had to shut down and move out all across the country, since there’s only so much the retards with a badge and a complex can do.

>The moral of the story? FUCK junkies. Food banks exist. Soup kitchens exist.
I agree with the exceptions of a few states and locales where food bank demand far overruns supply (many cities) and where Food Stamps programs either have insufficient penetration or are too rigidly conditioned on finding employment/training to be reasonable for some segments of vulnerable populations (mentally ill, disabled, homeless, undocumented and illegal, uneducated, addicts, etc.).

Basically, if you're in a vulnerable class without steady income in a civilized country, the second you walk into any government building you should be registered for free health insurance, food stamps, education, and legal assistance for any further documentation. All of this is cheaper than being a pestilence on the street, or having undocumented families who by necessity use government services in certain states but by bureaucratic legality have to be off the books on it, or are another segment who simply ditch thinking they will go bankrupt but before treatment is over, so compounding illness or unpreparedness and making their next visits more expensive. The welfare state should not be optional to those who need welfare to survive, since the alternative (no welfare) is much more expensive.

No, they do. But it is not common especially for target that has plainclothes LP and a lot of camera presence, thieves generally avoid that place. TVs, games, returns, concealing jewelry, power tools, even toys. Thieves are likely to return if they think it's easy. Usually in these cases it's because they are after their fence or investigating if it's part of a larger scheme though.

I set up a Twitter account in 2008 because I was studying Journalism. I wouldn't even know the password anymore. I wanted to be a journalist right up until I learned about online journalism.

maybe if you live in a rural town with cops who aren't actually busy with real crimes, you're the one sounding naive if you don't think most cops are that incompetent or just don't want to bother...me and my roommates had our house broken into and robbed over Thanksgiving by one of their coworkers and the police didn't do anything or find our stuff despite us literally knowing the guy and filing a warrant.

I make 20 dollars an hour sitting on my ass listening to horror podcasts/SCP shit making electrical wires/connectors. I'm in Montana, one of the red of red states that has only voted Blue since 1964. Your own fucking "Based and Redpilled" faggot crap is taking a liquid shit on you. But yeah I'm totally sure you make 400k a year, don't you faggot? Go ahead an keep on simping for Mega Corps, I'm totally sure they're going to call back and fuck you next week, retard. Keep on sucking on that boot.

not true, me and friends tried to steal some grapes and they announced the code over the intercom for the aisle we were in, guess it really depends on the loss ratio in certain areas

What sort of crime infested shithole has people guarding fucking Cheerios and hot dogs?

I used to steal as a teen because I knew I could get away with it, once you turn 18 just get a job lol I don't try to judge thieves because itd be hypocritical but you don't HAVE to steal anything but food (debateable) or medicine if you were truly desperate.

When Saul Goodman took that giant bribe to get his law firm started, he eventually begrudgingly gave the money back (to the local government who was accountable to the money, not to any individual who had any rights to it, so there was no feeling guilty about having wronged somebody -- cruicially, it was a moment of legal-societal moralization on his part). The point is, after being able to create something sustainable for yourself with those chickens, were you ever able to return the ones you stole (or an equivalent value)?

>>18787063
That’s a long ass way of saying “I’m a good, boot licking cock sucker that takes it up the ass and likes it.” I bet you’re triple vaxxed as well and have a nice yellow and blue sticker on the back of your car like a good little goy.

>faggots itt endorsing snitching
>then wonder why they're friendless, gfless, kissless virgins
Of course I’m referring to corporate theft. Stealing from local business is choppy choppy bye bye hand territory.

I find that there's a boy who cried wolf issue with the self-checkout warnings. I don't steal because I don't want to get myself banned from stores conveniently close to me, but even without ever stealing, the self-checkout machine spergs out, 'thinking' the weight is off and I must be stealing, such that the self-checkout clerk needs to press some button to allow me to proceed regardless, idk maybe minimum 5x per visit. As a result, the clerks never, ever check whether or not someone is stealing, and always just press the button to proceed. If it's gonna be like that then what's the point in even going through the motions?

I am the opposite of a thief
>get free shit all the time by accident
>remind the wagie that they're accidentally giving me free shit
>they give it to me most of the time anyways
It's usually like 5-10 dollars at most, but I have no idea why this keeps happening to me. Happened at least 5 times last year.

This is known as Security Theater. Grossly exaggarating propaganda to make people think they'll slapped for doing shit is far more cost effective than actually enforcing said slapping.

I’ve never heard that, it’s always ‘malnourished’. A sly little word trick, because people associate malnourishment with starvation when in actually a morbidly obese person can be malnourished because all they eat is a mountain of sugar and carbohydrates.
They could easily afford healthier things if they didn’t go through a half-gallon bottle of Coke every day

>>18780639
Somebody owns that corporation, and that corporation employs people. When you steal from it, you steal from the owner. When you steal from the owner, they can’t afford to pay the employees which means you’re stealing from them as well.

t. All knowledge of economics comes from Das Kapital

Corporations being given the legal rights of a person creates an unfair advantage versus actual people, because real persons have a maximum lifespan. If corpos want human rights, then they should have to be dissolved after 80 years.

See above. Pull fish out of the river.

The problem is lazy cunts believe they’re entitled to the luxuries of the developed world without having to contribute. “I want a nice comfy apartment in the city with quick easy access to my friends and hobbies, and I want someone else to pay for it all”
