Their own damn fault for trying to cut corners by eliminating cashier jobs
I was a cashier. Cashier jobs suck.
The problem is society in general. We SHOULD be getting rid of every non-rewarding job we can. But we also need to support the people that would otherwise have these jobs.
PSA: remember, if you see someone stealing essentials like groceries or whatever: no, you didn’t.
stealing essentials
stealing only essentials, you mean.
Steal a bit of food for today, didn’t see anything and the food bank may just be too far. If I’m on the ball, I’ll try and pick up the tab. You touch the earbuds or lego, though, I’m finna report it.
There are food banks, don’t steal.
Sometimes they run out. Or are 2 hours away. Or are in a bad part of town. There are tons of reasons why someone would be desperate enough to steal food.
Nobody’s encouraging it. All we’re saying is this: as a direct result of the deficiencies inherent to our society and the socioeconomic structure it perpetrates, some people need food but can’t get it through legal means. Categorically refusing to make an exception for exceptional cases is implicitly saying that those people deserve to die.
Apartheid apologist strikes again. Do you believe you’re a good person mate?
