Shoplifting Tumblrinas

[Pikonic]

So this shoplifting will just make things harder for everyone else, who, you know, just want to provide stuff for sale to consumers or conveniently buy stuff from a store.

Retailers will be more likely to treat innocent customers like criminals when they shop, because they don't want to be stolen from and lose money.

Customers will have to pay higher prices on goods that have to make up from the losses from the stolen goods.

If you really want to fight capitalism, maybe downsize your life and become less materialistic so you don't have to constantly demand stuff from the big-ass corporations??

Good job, idiots. Keep up the good work.

Everything about this. These are the same people who whine about Wal mart paying their employees dick. (Granted I think they should be treated better but that's another thread)
It's a really naive way of thinking, Wal Mart isn't going to crumble from shoplifters. If shoplifting even became a legitimate problem, they would just raise prices and cut pay to make up for it.
These people think stealing will end capitalism and usher in a new era. Just forget in Soviet Russia if you were caught stealing you were either sent to Gulag or just shot.

Why on earth would you role-play being a criminal, and how do you "role-play" stealing hundreds [/URL]of dollars worth of stuff you don't need?

They would've just rolled up a thief character and played that....but as you know D'n'D is a Tool of Kyriarchy.

Could the police even really do anything about it just from them posting pictures online? I think they have to catch you in the act unless you are an actual shoplifting ring (which they are not) hitting stores and running off with thousands in one go.
Stealing the lobsters is funny, I've heard of people doing that and in one case I think the lobster pinched some guy's junk. I do think it would be kind of funny to make a troll blog that just posts pictures of increasingly ridiculous "steals" like ironing boards and potted plants when it's really just stuff I bought.

PLEASE do!!! It'd be the funniest thing ever!

I ask you what takes more time and effort: devising all these tips and tricks to steal without getting caught, or just getting a job so you can pay for things honestly.

Honestly, even if they do have jobs, they'd probably still do this. If they work in a grocery store or something they'd probably even steal from there while on the clock.

Don't count on it. It would cut in their salary sooner or later and that would be unfaaair.

Spoiler: At least it's a happy end

So we got caught Friday and it wasn’t our fault, we concealed in all blind spots like no one was onto us. After we had everything and more in our bags and we were leaving the mall, I saw 10 mall security following us so I stopped and they asked about our bags and asked why I’m selling things at school and then I looked at my partner and they yelled at me for looking at her and took all my info. After that they said they won’t put it on my record if I go back to every store that we stole from and return everything (btw the mall was filled with 20+ people who knew who we are) and then one of the cops told me that someone ratted us from my school and that it was a teacher. That’s when I realized that my history/religion teachers son was one of the cops. And that I talked about selling sephora things in her class. They let me go but idk if I’ll ever lift again but I’m gonna stay with the tumblr community and I’ll still reblog lifting things and help with tips. Everyone at my school is now gonna know that I shoplifted cause I was balling in the mall while being surrounded by cops. The cops were so rude to us too, they literally laughed in our faces and they stopped at KFC and all ordered drinks in the middle of the food court to embarrass us. They also kept lying to me to try to scare me like the yw would say “all these stores have lp they are good at their job” but I know for a fact none of the stores in my mall, but the bay has lp in stores. They aren’t charging me but I can’t go to the mall for 2 years, great. If anyone wants further details please ask ill answer anything!!

You may not believe it, but we have a real problem with shoplifters at our place.

Two 8 oz. Fillet Mignon- at &19.99/lb.- fit on a 17s foam tray, which is a little bigger than a pack of playing cards, and is really easy to put in a pocket or slide up a coat sleeve. In the Meat dept. we constantly have to keep an eye out for people with backpacks or those big ass satchel purses because they'll slip a pack of T-bones, a $40 bag of shrimp, or a COV pork tenderloin into them in a heartbeat. It's never hamburger or chicken that ends up getting swiped. It's always top shelf meat like steaks & snow crab.

We've even had downright ballsy shit go down. About a year ago I had just cut up a whole Short loin into about a dozen family packs of T-bones & NY strips and put it in the beef case. I went back to work, and my boss stuck his head in the door about ten minutes latter & asked "Hey, ya gonna get that SL cut?" I told him I just put it out, and he said the steak section was slap empty. We both then walked out of the shop just in time to catch our other cutter (who was on break) running back to the shop. He said a family of four with a double armful of meat apiece just ran like fuck past him out the front door. In broad daylight. The youngest was a kid about eleven. That's about $500 gone.

Now I normally don't judge. Hell, I'm poor myself. You come to me hungry, and I'll share my last damn Pb& J with you. But if you steal top-dollar food just to have top-dollar food, then fuck you. I ain't got nothing for ya.

I can't summarize this. It isn't possible.

Honestly, I was in Mal-wart when the power went out and I was very tempted to shoplift, but it's such a shitty thing to do.

Everyone Else: "Maybe you shouldn't steal shit?"

Tumblr:"YOU'RE TRIGGERING ME!!!!"

The reason people are rightfully offended by claiming they steal is because it implies immorality. While it's not my job to educate you this is widely misunderstood so I'll give you a free lesson.

Anyone with a basic understanding of social privilege and justice would understand the implications of condemning a member of an oppressed class taking what probably isn't even their fair share, by calling it stealing. The word stealing implies that someone is taking something that isn't rightfully theirs. If someone were to take something from someone who is from an oppressed class, or someone who is less privileged than they are it's unjust and is rightfully condemned. The irony is, society doesn't care about stealing, when the group in power (mainly white cis men) take from the poor via the existing power structure, society just thinks it's normal.

The proper word to use when someone who isn't privileged takes from an entity which has an unjust share of wealth and power, is "RECLAIMING".

I totally didn't make this up just a moment ago, my sociology professor told me it's a real thing. You see, when someone is just trying to take their fair share (usually at expense of their own personal safety) they are "punching up" not "punching down". READ A BOOK SHITLORDS.

Sorry if Poe's Law, but yes I'm being completely and utterly sarcastic here.

So I just thought of something.

These lifters claim they shoplift as a way of undermining the patriarchy. But what do the vast majority of them steal from stores?

Makeup, perfume and body lotion, lingerie, and jewelry.

Aka things they claim are tools of the patriarchy...

HAH, I GOT YOUR SEXIST TRASH
AND GUESS WHAT?
STILL NO $$$ FOR YOU
HOW YOU LIKE THEM APPLES??

You'd be surprised. I used to work at a grocery store where half the employees stole pretty much whatever they could get away with. The mindset generally seemed to be "I am paying for it because they cut salary to make up for the loss. So I'm not stealing at all."

I was wondering when these people would finally get their own thread! I've stumbled across pro-shoplifting propaganda before on Tumblr. It's insane. These people honestly seem to believe that it's okay to steal things because capitalism is the worst thing that's ever happened to mankind and if they steal enough shit, capitalism will crumble and a new age of socialism will be ushered in. They don't seem to have any concept of how shoplifting actually affects businesses and how, 100% of the time, it's the underpaid retail workers who are hurt instead of The Man. It doesn't matter how many times you tell these people that stealing from a big business can be just as bad as stealing from a small one (because worker wages can get cut and people might even lose their jobs if too much stuff is stolen during their shifts), they'll just brush it off and ignore you.

Also, check this out:

"The bad guy in this story is totally not me, you guys, it's those mean, racist security guards! Just ignore the fact that I'm the entire reason why she got stopped in the first place because I was fucking stealing. I'm clearly the victim in this story because I feel guilty, feel sorry for me instead!"

I wonder if those cookies are aware that making this crap is the only job possible for like half of the southeast asian people. Aside from tending your shitty crops in an overpopulated country.

Let's all take a moment to remember that the second anniversary of that factory collapse in Bangladesh that killed over 1100 people just passed us by. And they were likely manufacturing the kind of clothes these idiots steal.

a pretty cool story

oh man. i know this inviting yet more red marks on my record but i just wanna explain the mentality from the pov of someone who lived off stolen food for a while

larceny is pretty much larceny until it becomes grand larceny. so getting caught with an armful of ramen and a jacketful of venison is more or less the same in the eyes of the law until you hit a limit that varies state-to-state. now, misdemeanors do have grades of severity, but you're hungry and you're adrenaline's going because you're terrified of get caught over supermarket theft - that doesn't cross your mind. so if you're gonna break the law and be a shithead, you might as well go big. when someone gets caught turning over a gas station, everybody shakes their head because you just traded a felony for the 38.44 in the register. but when jewel thieves get caught, people don't approve, but they understand the allure of the prize. if you're gonna get tackled through a plate glass window over some stolen food (literally happened to a friend of mine), it better be something goddamn delicious.

edit: in case i offended, i wasn't justifying, merely just giving the line of thought.

It sounds like you'd be very happy of something I told my boss: You pay me to cut meat, not bounce.

That's one of the roleplay blogs. It says so right in their tags. They have no idea what they're doing because they've never done it before.

On that note I wonder how many people won't read the tags on that sort of thing and will -actually try to ink out floor cameras with a hat-.
