johannas-motivational-insults:boychic:kaijuleng:tattoosfade:oppressionisntrad:anarchist-memes:We are forced to live in a system that steals from us daily, Kill snitch culture.Important things to keep in mind!- never take from ‘mom and pop’ type store. Its likely you’ll actually harm them, whereas taking from a walmart wont effect much.- never take items that a worker is assigned to monitor (usually super expensive items), theyll be in trouble for it. and its usually a minimum wage worker and usually they lose hours or pay, or they even get fired.- similar to the above, never take things that are usually locked up for the above reason- if its a store you know gives their near-expiration products to workers/charity, try to avoid taking the near expiration products.- if youre taking clothing, avoid leaving hangers. it sounds weird, but itll make it seem like it was more likely an error in the computer than a theft, since the empty hanger sitting there will seem suspicious. - also for clothing, try not to take more than one item at once, as it will look suspicious if theres 10 medium shirts missing, and it won’t be written off as just a stocking error. and it will lead to workers being penalized- basically just always consider ‘will this harm a worker’ and if the answer is yes then dont do itlike i was homeless for a while when i was younger and i tried to follow those guidelines to avoid doing harm to people who were probably not much better off than me while trying to get food for myself.Holy crap, is there like an unspoken thieves code or something?!it’s a thing. I won’t even lie. I watched someone slip a nursing exam book in their bag at the store I worked at. She made eye contact with me and the blood drained from her face. I simply gave her a sympathetic nod and walked away.I live in a small town and I knew she was a waitress at a hotel my sister works at, and people at that hotel don’t tip well during off season. Nursing exam books are 50+ bucks. Being a med student myself, I didn’t even breathe a word, and when inventory came up later and the book was missing, I suggested it was likely a mislabel, and the manager wrote it off.Sometimes, thievery is a necessity. Don’t send people to jail over petty things.theft for many is survival in this system and taking away from multi-billion dollar companies that are a part of the oppressive capitalist systemI used to be a supervisor at Marshalls and they had these training videos about how damaging it was to your life if you shoplifted, especially from your own workplace. They gave horror stories of what happened to former employees who were caught and how they can’t work, can’t relocate, etc. Said videos then unironically turned around and said if you rat out a coworker and it leads to an arrest they’ll give you $5000. And uh yeah my soul is not worth $5000 thank you very much.Also I can totally back up @oppressionisntrad-blog’s points, please follow those rules so no one undeserving gets in trouble. If you don’t that’s not a fuck you to the system, that’s just you being a selfish dick who gets off on cheap thrills and/or thinking you’re an activist. -- source link
