Daggers Posted 3 December 2008 Posted 3 December 2008 Popped into one of those Tesco overpriced minimarts on the way home. There was this crackhead with his crack whore wife, he was blatently filling his jacket while she tried to cleverly distract the staff with questions. Wife#1 said she'd not have dobbed him in to the staff - a couple in the store did. Would you have confronted him or pointed out his light-fingered nonsense to the security? I think I might have done if it'd been a different store, a family store, but not in a place which charges 35% more than the main supermarket for a loaf of bread.
Asha Posted 3 December 2008 Posted 3 December 2008 I'm actually in this situation, well sort of. A mate of mine nicks about £2 worth of stuff every day from a co-op 'near my school'. I know it's wrong like, but I'm not prepared to look like a tit by 'telling on him'.

Dagger's worried about people stealing!!!
Finnegan Posted 3 December 2008 Posted 3 December 2008 Dagger's worried about people stealing!!! You really are a massively ignorant, hugely narrow minded, insufferably unintelligent twit who seriously, seriously lacks the ability to grasp at anything vaguely resembling an abstract concept. You, honest to God, annoy me more than anyone else on this forum - AshLcfc, Milky Joe, JakeShingler, DB11 and Jack included. /rantfortheday,offtowalkdog.

Thieves, any thieves, are beneath contempt. The Arabs have the right idea in dealing with them.

Bert Posted 3 December 2008 Posted 3 December 2008 In life, people make their own choices, whether it's good or bad, in the end they'll eventually face the consequences, so it's better off to just leave them to it, then you have nothing to feel bad or guilty about, and you can live a conscious free life.

Bellend Sebastian Posted 3 December 2008 Posted 3 December 2008 POTENTIALLY CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENT #26421: If we had a sensible drug policy in this country it would be nice to think that addicts wouldn't need to steal to feed their habit

Zingari Posted 3 December 2008 Posted 3 December 2008 Well I like you Phube. I like you too Finners but you can be a little grumpy. yes ; i reckon he's taking his part in the xmas panto as one of snow white's dwarfs a little too seriously
Daggers Posted 3 December 2008 Author Posted 3 December 2008 Thieves, any thieves, are beneath contempt. The Arabs have the right idea in dealing with them. Sorry to say, I don't follow that feeling Thracian - I don't feel it's a black and white issue but maybe I'd feel differently if I spent my time running a stall which people could rob. I do think that someone (like this store) excessively profiteering opens themself up to a lack of sympathy. Phube - amazingly, I am not "worried". It was a curious situation and you will note that I didn't report them. I was interested that my reaction considered family businesses seeing as I don't believe in intellectual property which (as you continue to steal images from the internet) neither do you?

Webbo Posted 3 December 2008 Posted 3 December 2008 Stealing is stealing, it makes no difference if the shop is Tescos or a little corner shop. If you don't like the prices no one forces you to shop there. As for drug policy forcing people to steal, if they have to take drugs they could always get a job to pay for them.

I was interested that my reaction considered family businesses seeing as I don't believe in intellectual property which (as you continue to steal images from the internet) neither do you? Quite... but you will notice I am now copyright free... But as you state, you might feel different if it was a family run business. Everyone has their personal levels of thievery that that will tolerate/believe is 'okay'. Some it's car jacking... some it's faceless, multinational organisations, some if you don't happen to get a 'real' object', others it's things you can't buy and you get no benefit from (and in some cases is actually advertising!). We all draw an imaginary morality line that we won't cross...
Daggers Posted 3 December 2008 Author Posted 3 December 2008 Wow! I'm surprised! It appears that the Daily Mail readers on the forum would not just have reported the theft of a chocolate muffin but would have also organised tar & feathers, limb removal and a lynching party. And there was me thinking they were so accomodating.

But then I wouldn't dob you into FACT either!

I'd probably give them a dirty look, that'd teach them.
