Life Tip of the Day 10: Steal from grocery stores

  • Quote

Post by fightinfrenchman »

So I was out at the grocery store today and picked up an "artisanal" loaf of bread, one of the ones with a bunch of seeds on it for some reason that @deleted_user4 hates. I went to the self-checkout as I normally do because it's much faster, but my bread doesn't have anything on it to scan, so I'm going through the menus to find it, and I accidentally click that I have a simple roll instead. The roll only costs $0.65 vs. the loaf of bread which costs $3.99, so I just decide to go along with the lie in order to spend less money. It's very easy to get away with and you can save a lot of money if you do it regularly; if you get caught simply play dumb.

If this seems to cross some sort of moral boundary for you, just think about how self-checkout machines are stealing jobs from people who would normally run the registers, and you can convince yourself that your petty theft is actually part of a grand moral crusade.

Well, thoughts?

It would also be in direct violation with ESOC Terms of Use I believe.

I remember a funny story in highschool, school was sending us to a book day place(whatever name in english) and older classes were bragging about how many books they steal and such that is easy. Even one boy caught yell to the bookseller"you are the ones who're stealing from us!" LOL.

As expected school never sent us again.

Actually had this happen before and just rolled with it. Not sure I’d do it intentionally.

It's a great way to save money. The other day I picked up six bananas from the supermarket. But at the self-checkout I selected five bananas instead of six. So I only paid for five bananas. I got my sixth one for free!

Every $1 spent on groceries is $100 to Jeff "3 balls" Bezos. If you abhor class inequality you'd steal too. The brave are so few, alas. Bernie steals; he stole my money for his shitty campaign, and that's why he's Daddy. I didn't deserve it. Honestly, not stealing is the definition of complacency, and it's exactly what I'd expect from this lazy, lazy generation. Where has the self sufficient man went and found himself? The self sufficient man is a Chad, virgins.

In these uncertain economic times, this tip holds more relevance than ever.
