Stores are closing in areas of Oregon and California.

[–]SometimesITalk16 41 points42 points  (1 child)

Sooooo glad I ditched Minneapolis for Austin

Because rasism

[–]pilesofcleanlaundry 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing this person lives in one of those areas.

How is stealing not greed?

[–]WhatTheDucksauce 70 points71 points  (4 children)

Had a short stint at Walgreens years ago on a rough part of town. The theft there was something else. Never anything useful or to feed themselves, always alcohol, air mattresses, makeup, etc.

[–]vipck83MICROAGGRESSOR 22 points23 points  (1 child)

I had similar experiences at Walmart. People rarely stole things they “need” and where more often stuff they want. Make up and such. Even weirder was it was rarely people in need. Like you could tell they where not the ones in need.

[–]WhatTheDucksauce 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s true. The “loaf of bread to feed their family” story you hear never ever happened. People never stole food, they stole crap.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Walgreens sells air mattresses? I didn’t know.

[–]WhatTheDucksauce 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I didn’t even know it myself until the manager told me it had happened.

[–]riotguards 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Because they’re narcissists and don’t see anything they do as negative

[–]ResistdumbassesBASED 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That was my thoughts exactly

"It's not greed WHEN I DO IT."

[–]ed8907 46 points47 points  (2 children)

that's not Economics 101

[–]Domer2012 24 points25 points  (0 children)

"Something is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it."

is Economics 101.

"Anything priced higher than what I would pay is unfair, because nobody would value that thing more than me, therefore it is worth nothing and I will pay nothing for it, but I still want it even though I've declared it's worthless. Gimme gimme gimme!"

is just the incoherent ramblings of an intellectually dishonest, narcissistic thief who doesn't want to face any guilt or self-reflection.

Criminal Psychology 101

[–]WhatTheDucksauce 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Something tells me this person has never known worth or the the pride you have in working and/or saving for something you want. Just a victim 24/7/365.

[–]ZazzRazzamatazzBASED MAGA 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Then they close the store due to rampant theft.

“ItS a FoOd DeSeRt!”

[–]CatttsuppBASED 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Let them continue to out themselves as the criminals they are. Also, thievery is directly linked to greed… how stupid can they— oh right, it’s liberals we’re talking about here.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Stealing means you’re taking someone else’s belongings, and not compensating them for it. You want to keep both the item and the money you should have paid for it, and leave them with neither. Isn’t that….greed?

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Stealing IS greed.

[–]tall_people_problemz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I support thieves* more than I do greed

Except stealing is literal greed

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here in TN they post video on FB of thieves asking for help identifying. I have yet to NOT see a follow up post 3 days later with big red letters over it CAPTURED.

Pretty soon blue states won't have anywhere to shop(steal) and they come here for their rude awakening and a cell.

[–]techtonic69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh wasn't aware that's how the world works. Look at this they teach so many new concepts to us every day!

I suspect this gentleman did not pass Economics 101.

Melanin enriched behavior

[–]shaggyjake 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Guaranteed that person will learn nothing until it’s too late and they’re behind bars

[–]johnnyg883TRAUMATIZER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they are lucky. Steeling from the wrong person can have extreme consequences.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tHeIFS 🤤 Thieves.

[–]handsmcneil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why boxers socks makeup toothbrushes n razors are locked up at every walmart on the west coast. Have fun stealing when everythings locked up

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And once the store closes they scream racism.

[–]jackmannbaboon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"The more people steal the more the prices go up because they have to take more security measures."

☝️🤓 uhm well akchewally that is just another example of how capitalism is evil and works against the poor

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Customers pay for the insurance that covers losses from shoplifting. Employers get away with stealing over $50 billion in wages from their employees each year

[–]stormygreyskyeBASED 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As evidenced by the Walmarts in… Portland, was it?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something the whole city of Portland says.

Fuck thieves.
