    Ever been in a lengthy situation here you had no money on you, and you're starving?

    Try it sometime.

    Let me know what you think about when you walk by a hotdog vendor, or a bakery.

    so that's an excuse for stealing?

    Hungry, huh...

    I would hope if he were truly starving, he'd have made a better choice...

    it's not like Donuts are that filling...


    hmmm..... i don't know. there are lots of calories in one doughnut. i say next time he should steal some vegetarian dish, its healthy.

    I do agree that a donut is fattening, but for me, donuts are like Chinese food, after eating a donut, I'm hungry an hour later...

    It probably does make sense to cooperate with a robbery while working in a convenience store. That makes sense from a safety standpoint. But that doesn't excuse the criminal.

    i personally think shops in hot spot crime areas should have double doors, the ones that close behind him when he runs away and the others that close right in front of him. so he stays in one place.

    Wait, did you mean you wouldn't waste your time worrying about shoplifters at all? Sounds like you've never run a business or had to worry about the bottom line.

    I initially leaned toward the 'rrito, but then I thought the pizza would be something that could last for a couple of meals...it's kinda hard to eat a whole pizza at one sitting...unless, of course, we're talking about one of those "personal" pizzas...

    Well, he is facing a potential life sentence...that should give comfort to some people in America.

    If there was ever a petty/borderline crime combined with extreme over reaction this would probably be it.

    I wonder what color the terror/paranoia level was at that day?

    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions

    Are you 15 years old? Maybe you're a shoplifter. I know that any rational person would understand that you have to have some sort of loss prevention in place if you hope to keep your margins.

    Sorry to bother you with economics, law, and logic. Time for you to run along and steal a donut.

    great posts :D next time we've got to talk to that guy so that at least he steals some food that's really worth it!!

    though stealing personal pizza is a bit more tricky, cause i imagine he has to order it first

    come on now, jeffbr, you know if something is less than a dollar, it's ok to steal...

    you just being silly thinking that it's not ok to steal small items...
  • macgyver06macgyver06 Posts: 2,500
    this is the unwritten human law... under a dollar..is ok to take..


    do any of you put a nickel in those free candy dishes??

    which makes it (the pizza) a great item to steal...as they hand it to you, run out the door, and since the worker is behind the counter, no one will be in the way to assault...
