Movies made it look like it is much more exhillarating

it's probably more exciting if you have some pressing need to steal and you know the consequences would be steep if you got caught

I was caught with things I forgot to pay for beofore in shops.
No cashier or security guard was ever hostile to me

I probably don't look like a petty thief in the first place

pressing need for material goods which you can't figure out a better way to get than stealing*

one time the Walmart scale malfunctioned and I got a $5 bag of cherries for 3 cents. it was moderately exciting actually

you know like at self checkout

>Kumar

no such thing as "need to steal"
well maybe kleptomania. still an undesirable condition to have

speaking of someone named KUMAR

I mean I did pay in all those cases, that was an honest mistake on my part
Sometimes you just throw a thing in a bag with paid goods just to have your hands freed for something and it escapes your mind

a friend of mine was in a Discord call (IIRC) with a man named Kumar

I mean more like a drug addict feeling compelled to steal to get his next hit

he was Indonesian or something

psychological need

and he apparently whipped out his dick

in front of some 16-17 y/o HSers

for some fucking reason

thank you for coming to my TedTalk

The worst "theft" I did was when I used the dingus that weighs fruit in a greek shop and prints labels

I basically messed it all up and printed same price for all the fruit

psychological needs can be really fuckin' retarded. like whatever drove the exhibitionist guy loremaster is talking about for example

indeed

shame on kumar

Left an extra tip next day because I felt bad for the greek vendor

I've only ever stolen like 2-3 times in my life, both when I was much younger

the first few times involved stealing Graham Crackers from my class

I mean they are not shovelling money in Greece,

when I was like.....8-10?

By the third time I was found out, but the teacher just decided to let me have em

you're honest abe compared to a pretty sizeable number of people uksio

Walmart loses 6 figures per year due to people being dishonest at self checkout

I then just randomly up and ate some dumplings in a hot bar from some store once, when I was like.....10-12, I think?

According to their figures anyway

yet they just eat the loss because they still save money vs hiring more cashiers lol

@dizzy I would not really care if it was a big retail chain - they have insurance to cover for small losses.
but a greek vendor at a small local shop does not make much money, so I felt bad leaving a small-time businessman short on the bill
