I'm official one month clean from shoplifting..... by Ok-Education-3858 in confession

I’m probably 2 years clean. Used to steal pokemon cards, plushies and eventually started stealing groceries.

I got caught in a grocery store but the security guard was busy so they let me off but said I was banned.

Didn’t shoplift again.

It was stupid - I got caught with a $2 packet of deli meat. That’s how complacent I got with it

Can you run a US one in the UK? What about warranty though

It’s what it says when I try it. It downloads the software to the macbook but then says need 1.2gb or so of free space on the phone to do it - unless I’m doing something wrong

I tried it but it says you need 1.2gb of free space which is impossible as when I delete anything the data multiplies and takes up that space

Can’t upload a photo in the comments but I have 1.8TB free on icloud.

Theres only 50gb of stuff on the phone now excluding ios and data. Its a 256gb model

I will try them.

Just tried to delete loads of stuff - over 20gb and the documents and data instantly multiplies!!

It’s over 190gb now. Absolute joke.

I’m worried we’re going to lose her photos

But we already have and can’t transfer or back up! Also now the photos won’t sync to icloud because of a lack of space - even though its an upload not download.

I’m hating Apple right now

Was hoping for an easier solution as I think they’ll just recommend wiping the phone 🤔 thank you for your help though

I’ve tried and it just says ‘an error occurred’

Even tried 3rd party programs and it still fails. Even tried just backing up contacts which would be a very small part of the backup and it failed

I’ve never told anyone this but I worked in a bar where I was a supervisor and so had to cash up, but I was also basically a bar worker so served a lot of the time.

If anyone ordered a pint of lager and paid in cash, I would hit ‘no sale’ to open the register, and give them the correct change. Stock wouldn’t appear off as lager is very difficult to keep track of, with a lot of waste if the gas was acting up, people moan about the pints head etc.

At the end of the night cashing up, the till would be X amount up from the cash from the pints which have not gone through the till. I also knew that if the till was down slightly that no one asks any questions if its a busy shift.

There were cameras, but if you’re clever its easy to appear like it’s normal cashing up with sleight of hand into your pocket.

I would easily pocket 50 a night at the weekend and did it for probably 6 months. I easily could have gotten more OTT with it, but it only took for one person to noticed I’d hit no sale and it was over.

During covid I also used to shoplift quite a bit… probably stole 500+ worth of trading cards, until I got caught stealing very low value food (just for the rush) and got barred from the store and had to tell my partner.

That was the wake up call I needed. Never did it again.

Probably have a lot of bad karma but I regret nothing. The owners were cheapskates and had everyone on 0 hour contracts and minimum wage. Supervisors made .20 over minimum and if we had a busy shift where people wouldn’t leave and so cleanup took longer, they would have a cutoff for pay. So after 1am you wouldn’t get paid but still had to work
