Yes I did. And it makes me see how the system is broken.
What I “fucking didn’t” was report it.
If you see any of that and can afford to be worried, alleviate that worry by buying some food for that person.
The store I worked night stock at never had a single shoplifter on my shift (they were 24hrs).
Amazing! Your presence must have been quite the deterrent!
I am very large.
You know what they say about people with big hearts!
Imagine being concerned about such things.
I used to live in a tent and people were lovely. When I could afford permits for NPs, I’d have other camping friends. I’d also shoplift and felt bad for it, only making sure I took the cheapest food and supplies and only what I need. I wasn’t a threat to anything, no one in that situation could even afford to be one.
You shouldn’t have felt the slightest bit bad my friend. Your government consigned to be marginalized and not help you? Take what you need.
I’m not gonna snitch on someone stealing bread or nappies but in my experience they’re usually stealing alcohol.
Sometimes an immediate relief from psychological suffering through the escapism of alcohol is no different than the immediate need for food. Sometimes the alternative is death
Luxury items that have no cheaper, reasonable alternative are where I draw the line. Alcohol to cope with the chronic pain and psychological suffering that homelessness brings is not really a luxury in my book
Sometimes luxuries are the best thing for the downtrodden to borrow because they can be bartered for money in the real world and sometimes having a little scratch in your pocket can make you feel human. My fiance and i pretty much survived on less than $6000 in total this year but having a little paper in my pocket makes me feel like a person. That being said the more expensive items a store carries the harder it is to borrow from them.
Well alcoholism and addiction are diseases that capitalism engineer to addict people to alcohol, so I don’t care at all.

Or like most of human history. People have been alcoholics far longer than capitalism has existed.
They are not exclusive to capitalism.
Not to mention that alcohol withdrawal can literally kill you. It is obviously better to get sober, but a heavy drinker going cold turkey without medical supervision can end up in the morgue.
I agree. I am worried that he’ll freeze out there this winter though.
Snitches be bitches.
