We are forced to live in a system that steals from us daily, Kill snitch culture.
Important things to keep in mind!
- never take from âmom and popâ type store. Its likely youâll actually harm them, whereas taking from a walmart wont effect much.
- never take items that a worker is assigned to monitor (usually super expensive items), theyll be in trouble for it. and its usually a minimum wage worker and usually they lose hours or pay, or they even get fired.
- similar to the above, never take things that are usually locked up for the above reason
- if its a store you know gives their near-expiration products to workers/charity, try to avoid taking the near expiration products.
- if youre taking clothing, avoid leaving hangers. it sounds weird, but itll make it seem like it was more likely an error in the computer than a theft, since the empty hanger sitting there will seem suspicious.Â
- also for clothing, try not to take more than one item at once, as it will look suspicious if theres 10 medium shirts missing, and it wonât be written off as just a stocking error. and it will lead to workers being penalized
- basically just always consider âwill this harm a workerâ and if the answer is yes then dont do it
like i was homeless for a while when i was younger and i tried to follow those guidelines to avoid doing harm to people who were probably not much better off than me while trying to get food for myself.
Holy crap, is there like an unspoken thieves code or something?!
itâs a thing. I wonât even lie. I watched someone slip a nursing exam book in their bag at the store I worked at. She made eye contact with me and the blood drained from her face. I simply gave her a sympathetic nod and walked away.
I live in a small town and I knew she was a waitress at a hotel my sister works at, and people at that hotel donât tip well during off season. Nursing exam books are 50+ bucks. Being a med student myself, I didnât even breathe a word, and when inventory came up later and the book was missing, I suggested it was likely a mislabel, and the manager wrote it off.
Sometimes, thievery is a necessity. Donât send people to jail over petty shit.Â
Donât snitch. That is all.
We been saying snitches get stitches
NO. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
TAKING ANYTHING HARMS THE WORKERS. THEFT DIRECTLY AFFECTS STORE BUDGET, WHICH IN TURN DETERMINES WORK HOURS AVAILABLE. YOU ARE COSTING PEOPLE THEIR FUCKING JOBS BY STEALING.
THE CEOS AT THE TOP ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS. THEY DO NOT FUCKING CARE. YOU ARE STEALING FROM THE EMPLOYEES WHO WORK AT THE STORE.
DONâT FUCKING STEAL, YOU SORRY FUCKING SHITS.
YES, EVEN FROM WALMART. BECAUSE CORPORATE DOESNâT FUCKING CARE. YOU ARE NOT STICKING IT TO THE MAN BY SHOPLIFTING. YOU ARE STICKING IT TO YOUR LOCAL STORE, STAFFED BY LOCAL PEOPLE, AND ARE COSTING LOCAL PEOPLE JOBS.
YOU ARE DIRECTLY MAKING MY FUCKING LIFE HARDER. HOW DO I KNOW? BECAUSE I WORK IN LOSS PREVENTION AND INVENTORY. I SEE FIRST HAND HOW YOU SHITHOLES FUCK UP MY LIFE, AND THE LIVES OF MY COWORKERS.
THERE IS NO CODE OF FUCKING HONOR, BECAUSE THERE IS NO HONOR IN THEFT.
IT IS JUST YOU BEING A FUCKHEAD.
STOP IT.
The amount of pro-shoplifting propaganda on Tumblr never fails to astound me. Do you people have ANY IDEA what youâre doing? Or who youâre hurting? Hint: Itâs not the corporate bigwigs. Youâre just hurting underpaid and overworked retail employees who are just trying to make ends meet; now they have to deal with getting their wages cut thanks to YOUR stealing.
Donât fucking steal. Just DONâT. And if you see someone shoplifting, ALERT THE STAFF. Donât just sit there and do nothing, someoneâs job could be at stake. This whole âDonât be a snitchâ mentality NEEDS to stop.
