I mean, same, but for different reasons than most of the people in this thread. Obviously if someone is stealing out of necessity, that's understandable - but regardless of motive, I'm not going to speak up about theft in any case except maybe a mom-and-pop store where I both personally know and like the owners, because loss from theft is something that stores necessarily need to address and plan for in their own business model.
I'm not the store's fucking employee, and if the store is expecting customers to pull double duty as security guards or lookouts, they're fucking deluded. That's not going to fix what is essentially a problem with the safeguards in place - if the ship is leaking, asking the passengers to bail water is a temporary and unreliable solution. This is a business transaction; I'm here to get and pay for the shit I need, not watch over the shit I don't for the sake of your bottom line. Sort your own shit; you've got an entire firm's worth of resources to figure it out. I'm just trying to get by without pulling labor for every fucking firm I go to.
