    I tried to pay, fuck you I don’t have time for this.

    Lol, uh huh. Whatever you gotta tell yourself to justify stealing that bag of doritos, dude.

      I'm not gonna cry for a corporation that doesn't give a fuck if you eat or not. Why are you?

        I'm not "crying" for any corporations. I'm laughing at that jackass for their asinine rationalization for shoplifting. If you don't understand the difference, I don't know what to tell you.

          You're not crying for them, you're licking their boots

          You're free to do so, of course, and we're free to laugh at your dumb ass paying full price for $20 steaks that were only half as much three years ago.

            Lemmy sure attracts some fucking characters. The guy simply pointed out that stealing isn't justified by a 60-second wait. And you are jumping in here ranting about the price of steak for some reason. You're not Robin Hood. You're just a dumbass with a keyboard.

              Tell us you're not listening without telling us you're not listening

              This dumbass with a keyboard knows their worth and knows it is rarely if ever worth it to pay full price for stuff. Especially expensive necessities, for example meat, for which the prices skyrocketed thanks to the lockdowns and aren't going back down because of the horrifyingly astounding greed of big corps like Walmart who largely control the market.

              Hence, stealing stuff like that from Walmart is justified.

              Hell, it's justified simply because it is Walmart, but that is the more detailed justification.

              It doesn't matter either way, though, because people are going to keep doing it regardless of what you think.

              So carry on, dumbass keyboard warrior. The only one you're hurting is you. 😎
