    I consider myself a very honest and morally kind person but you are fucking right I do this

      The company is using you to ring this stuff up so they don’t have to pay an employee to do it, so I’d just consider the difference in price to be my wages for the work they’re having me do.

        I dunno man, being in Canada and having all the grocery stores jack up their stuff makes me feel very not bothered about anything anybody does to them they may be considered “not moral”. I mean, as long as we leave the grocery store workers alone.

        I still shoplift most of my groceries, but I do it at the staffed checkouts to justify them keeping their jobs because I am a man of the people.

      Eh, corporations have been stealing from us since before we were born. Bribing politicians to write labor laws and tax codes in their favor, violating our rights for profit because they know the people they’re fucking over are too poor to sue, straight up stealing from us (at least in the US, where the largest type of theft is wage theft)

      This isn’t stealing, it’s just reclaiming a tiny portion of what’s been stolen from you.

      Dunno how you can think those things about yourself with all that maniacal laughter you’re doing.

        They didn’t train me to be a cashier, so how am I understand the nuances of the grocery industry when they’re asking me to do their job?

          Yeah I don’t grasp the whole system, and no one’s ever shown me how to properly scan the two gallons of milk I keep beneath my regular items in the bottom row of the cart…guess they’re free then
