If it's food, I'm sergeant fucking Schultz. Basic necessities, same thing.

But there is a limit where I'm going to let the person know they've been seen and ask them politely to fuck off so I don't have to say anything to anyone else. It isn't about what the item/s is/are, it's about the degree of things. It isn't about the monetary value either, I'm fine with "liberating" luxury goods. But even there, there's a point where someone stealing isn't just doing it to handle business, they're fucking over people for profits, and that's the same kind of shit that makes me be blind to more controlled theft for personal use.

Yeah, there's a shit ton of contradiction in that. Don't care. There's still a line where theft becomes a problem, regardless of the size of the "company" doing the theft. Once things go from robbing a company to get through life and making it your job, you're just as fucked up as the company you're stealing from.
