Who caught a guy trying to lift about 20 bottles of hand lotion hidden under a few cans of beer while only paying for 1 frozen pizza.

And just told him to go away, didn't bother any managers or anyone else with it.

According to what i overheard he's always in there trying to pull something like that.

Better luck next time buddy. I think if you give them a bit more plausible deniability they'll let you go by.

Lol why the fuck you steeling hand lotion and hiding it with beer and pizza? My mans got his shit all ass backwards.

If he's got twenty bottles it's because he thinks he can sell it.

Yeah but who buys hand lotion on the black market?

[–] regul@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Same people who buy laundry detergent in the same way.

In the US at least.

Lots of convenience and grocery stores in bigger US cities have the laundry detergent under lock and key because it gets stolen so much. At least, that was the case when I lived in San Francisco a few years ago.

Inequality is very bad here.

Wow. I have never seen that before. Why laundry detergent specifically?

[–] Doubledee@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Everyone needs it, doesn't go bad, expensive in the store so you can flip it fairly easily and still make money.

Fair. To be perfectly honest, I’m not broke, but if someone in my neighbourhood was selling stolen detergent at a fraction of the cost? I’d buy the shit out of it.

People have hung fliers in the laundry room here selling bulk detergent.

Sounds like paradise to me. Only if they can guarantee it’s stolen though.
