    Preach!

    I’m lucky enough to not need to take the risks involved in order to get by, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to fuck over someone that may be unluckier than me. Idgaf what it is, I’m fucking sergeant Schultz.

      The way I see it, you’re doing a public service…

      • You’re creating jobs in loss prevention.

      • You’re helping make the case for retaining more checkout workers.

      • You’re keeping those minimum-wage checkout supervisors safe by not putting them in a position to intervene with desperate people trying to feed themselves.

      • You’re helping the store avoid wage theft by having you play unpaid, untrained, unqualified security guard.

      • You’re helping the needy feed themselves.

      Give yourself a pat on the back, you local hero! 🫡
