We’re shifting to a Robin Hood Economy. If they don’t stop with the Trickle Down nonsense, and embrace Trickle Up Economics, we will pivot hard to a Robin Hood Economy, and the wealthy won’t like that at all. It usually comes accompanied by guillotines and whatnot.
Remember, if you see anyone stealing food, no you didn’t
Chocolate though? That’s not even nutritional. There’s gotta be a line somewhere unfortunately.
You’re going to turn in someone for stealing a candy bar? Because YOU don’t think it’s nutritious enough to steal? Maybe it’s all they could grab without getting caught, and a Snickers bar will settle your grumbling stomach for a while.
Recalibrate your morality.
Yeah, and the same for booze or cigarettes. Those are luxuries and aren’t necessary to survive.
Would you be fine with someone stealing videogames or a tv or phone? What about just holing up in your house?
I don’t care if ANYBODY steals ANYTHING from a big corporation. I have a problem with theft from small businesses, but Walmart, and their ilk? Rob’em blind.
I guarantee you aren’t the one to decide that. Mind your business
Nah, fuck that noise. Corpos can suck it
It’s dense empty calories. The kind of thing you need living below freezing
There’s not exceptions to the rule. It’s not a judgement call, it’s likely survival going on and your job is to stay out of it
My line depends on if the entity being stolen from is also a capitalist one stealing wages from their workers as profit or locking up/poisoning the food in their dumpsters.
Pretty easy rule to go by.
They just shot a 16 year old kid at a nearby Walmart for shoplifting. The biggest defense so far seems to be that they didn’t realize he was 16, because he had facial hair. He also had a gun, but dropped it, and THEN they shot him.
Three of the Waltons are in the Top 15 richest Americans. I don’t care what someone is doing, if they’re stealing from Walmart, one of the most evil corporations in the history of the World, I’m totally cool with it.
And the food thing isn’t for liability purposes in the US like people believe. They’ve been protected from liability for donating closed to expired food federally since the 90s.
I’d be shocked if Europe didn’t have the same protections.
So people who can’t afford stuff like chocolate just don’t get to have it?
Yes that’s how life works.
If you can’t afford to drive, you can’t just steal a vehicle lmfao.
What about booze? Smokes? Advil? Where’s the line before someone’s just taking stuff so they feel better instead of surviving? Because that’s what people look the other way for, not for someone being selfish lmfao.

I made it clear that it’s fine for survival, but not for frivolous stuff. How does that make me a Nazi? Or do you just throw that word around when you can’t articulate an intelligent response?
Nah fuck your whataboutism. That’s how life works? Fuck that then, fuck that way of life, I applaud anyone trying to change that way of life, instead of trying to defend the shitty status quo. I will absolutely 100% look the other way for someone even being selfish, if it means they’re also hurting a capitalist.
What if they’re stealing chocolate to sell to gangs for drugs?
Respect the hussle.
Better than kids.
MAGA has the monopoly on child trafficking. Out here in the streets, everybody knows not to step on MAGA toes.
He said a shelf of chocolate could be worth £500 and the group had spent £3m on security and other measures to prevent thefts.
And how’s that working out for you? … Oh, so, you’re just passing the costs of both the theft AND the security along to consumers, and then declaring that as profit and keeping it in your own pockets? I see, I see. Interesting.
Stealing them to order? As in someone is requesting they steal them?
Yes. You go on the dark web, post a request for chocolate and wait for offers. When someone agrees to get it you transfer them half of the payment in crypto. They leave the chocolate behind the toilet tank at King’s Cross (western entrance toilet, 3rd stall from the right) and you send them the other half of crypt after picking it up. You can save up to half a crown, depending on the type of chocolate you’re getting.
Can you hear these chocolate thieves talking to you, Tesco? Are the chocolate thieves in the room with us right now?
The stealing makes them taste better
If it’s not stolen from a store in the West Midlands region, you have to call it “sparkling cacao”.
do you mean “the secret ingredient is crime” (-super hans, peep show)
Cadbury? Really? That’s gone to shit these days. I wouldn’t even buy it from a shady looking drug addict in an alley!
Now Lindt, on the other hand …
Who are they warning? Most people don’t own stores
I just don’t buy that there’s a market for bootleg chocolate…
(opens coat) “Heyyyy, uh, can I interest you in a Hershey bar? Maybe some Twix?”
Never took a NYC subway, and bought candy from some kid? Unfortunately, they usually don’t have chocolate because it melts in the heat of the subway, so they usually have hard candies like Skittles and Nerds, which I don’t much care for.
When they have chocolate, I’ll buy some. I like to help out budding young entrepreneurs, starting out like Jobs and Gates, stealing their code and reselling it.
There’s a massive market. I’ve been offered all sorts in a pub. Chocolate, Gillette razors, batteries, aftershave, meat. Usually carried in a large hodall, rather than a coat!
They say that in certain neighborhoods, Tide laundry detergent and baby formula are almost like currency.
What kind of meat?
If I were making a list of things I’d never buy from some bloke at the pub, dodgy meat would be high up. My memory is hazy, but I think they were pork chops.
I remember addicts coming through the hood to sell steaks, laundry detergent, anything to chase the proverbial dragon, rabbit, etc.
It would be a huge ROI for society to actually address issues causing addiction and the ills that go with it, but it’s not fast, flashy, or serving the right agendas, unlike the illicit drug market, prison and military industrial complexes, and unlivable wages. And that’s why the illicit drug trade, unaffordable pregnancies, and human trafficking aren’t meaningfully addressed.
A guy I hired to do simple back breaking labor when I was building out my store, called up several months later to offer me a giant spool of copper wire that he had “found.”
I don’t know why he thought I’d want to buy it, but I appreciate having first dibs. Had to pass on it though.
They genuinely can’t comprehend that people steal food because they’re hungry, everything is a mode of commerce to them.
The next time you see a kid selling chocolate bars for a charity, if you buy them you could be funding a criminal enterprise 🤣.
But in all seriousness who are the thieves selling the chocolate to?
Hang out on the subway for a while. They’ll find you.
Weed man sells sodas and snacks
Your momma
Every new thing they put behind a lock is another recession indicator.
WF here sells bougie gourmet chocolate that is very expensive, but they steal the cheap stuff that isnt that good. also drug addicts are targeting things like ice cream mostly here.
Is this going to be like stores before claiming shoplifting to jack up prices when it was really poor planning? But also rofl about the video of the person dragging a whole shelf out the door.
