Why does every single TV show have a shoplifting storyline?
>>
>>220611224
It's relatable. Most people have shoplifted something at least once.
>>
To implant the idea in people's minds.
>>
Shop lifting is fun, and cool.

Personally, I think shoplifters should be killed.
>>
>>220611224
I can't remember the last time I watched a new TV show
>>
it's a classic jingling keys b plot to keep foids in the audience occupied with a relatable banal story about familial drama until it's back to focusing on the man doing crime
ozark did it better with wendy's brother being a bipolar schizo
>>
Shoplifting food is almost always justified
>>
They're encouragingb women to be criminals. Do you guys not get yet that the agenda infects every show and movie and destroying the traditional family unit is a key plank in the platform?

When I had my first stable job me and my roommates would got to Trader Joes and walk out with shopping carts full of groceries.
Thank you anon for co signing my niggardtry.
>>
>>220611224
Because it's one of the easiest things to get away with and one of the most simplistic plots to write a story about.
>>
>>220611570
that's true but you also get that she stole an expensive diamond tiara as a gift for an unborn baby and that isn't really justifiable right
>>
>>220611645
I want to say it's wrong, but we live in an open air prison and are enslaved by an international banking cartel so I really don't give a fuck she could burn all the luxury jewelery stores down who cares. That character in Breaking Bad I mean

Shoplifting from mega corps is always justified. In fact everyone should shoplift from Walmart and other big store chains. Do not give them another cent. Force them to spend billions on security.
>>
>>220611570
I won’t justify it but if I’m made to ring up my own groceries, then yeah there are going be frequent unofficial BOGOs on steaks and sausages.

Brown hands typed this post.

>>220611224
lol just watched the Banshee episode where the daughter and her friend shoplift
>>
>stole a few 5c candies here and there as a kid (take 25 but tell the clerk it's 20)
>'stole' a bookshelf when i was buying two and the cashier only scanned one
i genuinely think these are my only theft incidents
>>
>>220612060
If food had actual value why do they throw away mountains of it daily? It's because food is made to be artificially scarce to steal as much money from you as possible

>>220611224
The real answer nobody wants to tell you OP is because Winona Ryder started it.
>>
>>220611297
Every female in my family except my mother is banned from all walmarts for shoplifting.

Though I am white trash so it makes sense really.

>>220611570
>shoplifting happens and increases over time
>store raises prices to make up for losses
>regular customers stop shopping
>store closes down
>"food deserts" get created

When I want something and I don't wanna pay for it, now I walk right through the door.

People have really created this narrative that "le heckin' poor single mothers are stealing baby formula to feed their poor starving children, if you see someone stealing say nothing!" Aka it is all socioeconomic hardship, fuck corporations. Having actually experienced it and managed stores the reality is, most of the people shoplifting are either drug addicts reselling shit (drug addicts are not "le poor victims with a disease" considering how much they terrify and terrorise their family and their communities), rich kleptomaniac bitches or simple thugs. Not the poor downtrodden masses stealing from wasteful corporations. The more you steal the more shit stores implement to make the shopping experience worse for everyone. Poor minimum wage workers have to put up with the mental illness of these shoplifters. Stores close. Stores offer less. Prices go up. Police do nothing and the cycle gets worse. And when something finally bad happens to you as a result of this decline of society and you complain about the breakdown of authority, culture, values, you won't realise it but your attitude will have contributed to your situation. Get fucked.

it's an easy cash in story to add arbitrary stakes and drama

You are a slave
>>
Oh no the grocery store that exists to gatekeep food from slaves couldn't steal enough money so they left town how sad
>>
>>220611224
It's realistic
>>
Money is not real. It's not backed by anything. You work for central banking. This is a game of monopoly you are forced to play under threat of exile (homelessness). Just try to live without money you fucking slave. Go out in the woods and rub two sticks together domesticated slave.

ted k killed people out of impotent basedrage because even back then what you're proposing is impossible, some hunter or logging company will call the sheriff's department and a bunch of bald, fat, red-faced men in bulletproof vests will come to forcibly uproot you from your vagrancy

You're right comrade, it's a great victory for the proletariat to but their milk and eggs at a gas station instead.

>shoplift from Walmart
It is not a good idea to shoplift
Its an even worse idea to shoplift at a store that has multiple full time plainclothes employees dedicated to catching you shoplift
>>
>>220612893
Your ancestors were slaves.
