One hell of a condensing

What about all the women who get by without wearing make-up?

Professional streetwalkers, maybe

Reminder Wage Theft has by far the greatest total value compared to all other kinds of theft

Because if you make over $1400/month then you don't get food stamps. That isn't even rent where I live.

The median STUDIO apartment costs $2100.

when you have children to feed and you're hungry yourself - standing in line to fill in a form and wait an interderminate amount of time to be potentially denied something that comes with a huge amount of restrictions it's just easier to steal.

There is enough food and wealth to feed and home everyone. Theft is a service issue.

I think most stores stock cheese and it's fairly cheap if you use the five finger discount

You don't buy artisan cheese from your local toothless meth head ?

Streetfood vendors mostly don't care about sources as long as the goods are good. I had a favorite place before that sold chocolate bars with no markup compared to nearby stores, and I was wondering why they'd even sell them given that chocolate doesnt really go well with their main offerings. Until I witnessed a junkie carry a box to them from the nearest supermarket and it all fell into place. Selling stolen product right across the road might've not worked in their favour though as the place changed hands not long after.

They sell to people they know. And they're still in their packaging and you know they've recently stolen it, so why not. Really cheap too

A long time ago, I lived in a trailer park, and a homeless guy would come by once a week selling steaks at a lower price than you could buy at the store. Some people would buy them. Needless to say, everyone there was in a pretty bad situation, so a luxury like cheap steaks was tempting.

My brother in law used to work in an off licence (booze store) so got to know a number of customers, some of which were drug addicts. They would steal from the local supermarket which was right next door. Things like expensive meats, cheese, coffee, spirits, etc. high value products which are easy to shove in a bag or jacket. They then go and knock on the door of anybody they remotely know who lives nearby, ask if they want to buy some cheap goods. Often about 50% off.

I know people who would buy this stuff. It's usually stuff straight from the shop but I suppose you can never say for sure.

I bet there are restaurants that will. Especially if it's still packaged.

I doubt they sell it, I bet they go back to the same chain of stores and try and get a receipt-less return for cash.

I don't know, worrying about it didn't cross my mind

Right, especially if you're going to sell it. It used to be that you could sell the cheap stuff to Russia but even they aren't buying it anymore.

Exactly, exactly - though I wouldn't judge people taking non-food items like soap, detergent, and other basic hygene products either. They're low cost goods most people need but might not be able to afford.

You think the slaves that made those Nike's aren't getting their days pay because some cunt in another country stole them? Fuck Nike.

Sounds like the education system should be improved to inform people of just how expensive and time consuming it is to procreate. All the time you see people do it who definitely do not have the means, and then being forced to steal and/or just suffer for years
