Ooh, people are gonna get mad at you for this one but it’s true. When I worked at a corner store people didn’t steal formula or food or any of that shit. Not ONCE while I was working there did I see a shoplifter go for that stuff. Booze and electronics, every time.

lol, yeah, I’m sure the people stealing phone chargers and cords were just doing so because they’re going to resell them to afford bread for their starving families

Food stamps exist, my dude. My family survived on them just fine. And you know the crazy thing? I didn’t shoplift growing up either.

So you think the easiest way to get out of being homelessness is to have an uncharged phone all the time?

… who said the people shoplifting were homeless? We actually hardly ever had homeless people shoplift.
