Hey, friend. Reckless promotion of actual criminal activity disgusts me, so between the two of us, in a court of law, I’m the one who actually has a case.
Also. It is my business. Literally. I work (as one of my two part-time jobs, which I work 45-52 hours a week at - including weekends - and which I have fought to have, so that I can pay my bills, so that I can have food on the table, so that someday I can have a real career and life) in Retail. I work Customer Service. I’m a Cashier. It is my business.
I have dealt with shoplifters in my store. I have turned down returns from people who don’t have receipts for their ‘purchases’ because I can tell the items have been lifted. (Cuz, guess what? My store keeps a record of items that have been sold from it. We know if you bought that or not when you try to return it later.) This also means I have to turn down returns from customers who probably actually bought those items, but store policy without a receipt is pretty strict. Why? Because people steal from us. If this wasn’t the case, we would have no need for the policy at all.
The “lifting community” or “liftblr” or whatever you want to call it is promoting and glorifying a selfish criminal lifestyle and I will never stop reporting and blocking members of it until Tumblr @staff actually does something to stop them from showing their gross misunderstanding of how life should be, their own insanely skewed perception of what is right for them, their outrageously sense of entitlement, their complete disregard for anyone else or any psychological or moral or legal consequences to their actions, and the way they draw in other people (including, but not limited to, minors!!!) to join their thievery and crimes.
‘Lifting’ is stealing.
Stealing is a crime.
Crimes bring harm to others.
What is wrong with you.
I hope they get caught. I hope they face consequences. I hope they get help, so they can begin to have a healthy mindset and live normal, beautiful, healthy, crime-free lives.
The only ‘lifting’ I will support is with weights, as a form of exercise. Not anything that has to do with taking what is not yours, without any regard for anyone else, being self-centered and proud and cruel, and honestly just plain clueless about how the world actually operates.
This world owes you nothing.
If you have the time, energy, thought, and physical ability to lift, you are completely able to get a job. If you are stealing cosmetics or fashionable clothing or music or electronics or anything other than food, then you don’t have even that marginal excuse of stealing to survive. If you are stealing to survive, friend, there are other ways. Hundreds and hundreds of them. Either way, go get help, stop breaking the law, and stop promoting it here on Tumblr.
Because I will report you.
You’re breaking that law. And the last thing you need is for people to mind their own business and let you go on in this dangerous and unhealthy lifestyle. You need someone to stop you. You need help.
