Well, you know, times were different during the 70s and 80sAnd she was a sucker. Do you not think that word got back to the vagrants and other low lifes that you could steal food and not get in trouble? What were the chances that they even cooked/ate the food they stole and not just sold it to someone else?
You go to flea markets or some other places and you will see a bunch of shyt being sold like toothpaste, deodorant, lotion, etc..... where do you think they got it from? Why do you think some places have all of that shyt locked up?
If you are truly hungry then there are places where you can get food and help, but a lot of these people doing that are either high, crazy or shiesty.
. Eventually, she lost that job, but felt it was worth it for her conscience because she couldn't bring herself to call the police on someone who needed food to eat.If someone needed food to eat and constantly had to steal to get it, then that is a personal failing. An employee like that makes it worse for everyone because word will get out about how it is easy to steal from the place and exacerbate the problem.Well, you know, times were different during the 70s and 80s.

She didn't think they needed that type of stress added on as they were likely already living stressfully, financially speaking, for them to be stealing in the first place, so after that, she never worked in a grocery store setting ever again and went on to a new field of work.
Nowadays, I get it might be different with how society is, but she felt it made sense back in the day.
This.99 throw accuracy rating aside, dude is getting fired & that store about to get sued over some stolen shyt that wasn't even his
@how he dropped though
The store didn't lose any profit because she paid for itIf someone needed food to eat and constantly had to steal to get it, then that is a personal failing. An employee like that makes it worse for everyone because word will get out about how it is easy to steal from the place and exacerbate the problem.
It made no sense back then, either, to allow that type of behavior. Go to a food bank/shelter/etc.... whatever but don't steal.
but lost the job because the manager wasn't pleased with the idea.As he should not be. If I owned a store I would not want it known as an easy lick and employees letting that fukk shyt happen have to go.The store didn't lose any profit because she paid for itbut lost the job because the manager wasn't pleased with the idea.
Generally speaking, I don't really consider it a personal failing. Society tells a person to get a job, and they get one and maybe even two, and they're still struggling to make ends meet. At some point, society has to do better for its citizens, which includes paying living wages, which can help combat grocery/retail theft.
While stealing is wrong, at the same time, depending on what's being stolen, especially if we're talking food, I don't believe in getting on a high horse about it, 'cause at the end of the day, worse crimes are being committed and require more attention, so I don't think throwing someone in jail or putting a record on their name over food isn't worth the time.
The prison population is already filled with millions of people in there over petty nonviolent offenses; someone shouldn't have to sit in jail or have their life ruined from having a record because they were hungry. As I said, working in loss prevention or any type of security job oftentimes requires a lack of conscience and empathy. You could either choose to retrieve the items and let the person go or call the police and further ruin that person's living situation/future over something as minimal as a pack of meat.


...but then, in turn, society will proceed to criticize and look down on those who choose to get the help needed to buy food, saying they're abusing the system and looking for handouts, etc.I am not for putting people that steal little shyt in jail for life, but if you can not stop yourself from stealing then the government will help you out with a forced meal plan.
There are programs, state and private ran, that will help you with getting food but most of the people stealing are doing so to make money for other shyt, like drugs and liquor.
