    I know people who are shoplifting for “fun” or for “the thrill”. They don’t even care about the items and they definitely don’t care about the shop owner. They just do it when they see the chances.

      Gas Station Encounters is a great channel to see shoplifters in action.

      Pays 100$ for gas, 50$ worth of scratch tickets, 20$ worth of soda

      Steals a 50¢ candy bar

      Some people are just… lmao

      But who are we to judge when shoplifting is appropriate or not? Also, if you are shoplifting to spite the capitalist system, you are doing society a favor. If you are shoplifting in a small self-owned store that is struggling itself, this would be less than ideal. But all other large corporate-owned shops are ethically OK to shoplift imo.
