tell me your thoughts on

question for economists and semi-critical minds:

what's worse: higher priced products and lower wages for human workers, or sustained production and its effect on the environment?
 
i once stole a garishly-hued dixie cup imprinted with monster-jokes from a kid's school desk in something like the 2nd grade--he had a stack of them; that's not exactly 'shoplifting', but when it comes to monsters i am, in a sense, talking 'shop'
 
here's another one: the local supermarkets (or is it 'grocery store' in certain parts of the states? i've been confused since a BROOKLYN/Long Island person chastised me for saying one of those in her presence, but i forget which one!) allow you to bag their bagels yourself, and in paper bags. which, out of courtesy, are unopened at the counter - you are asked how many bagels are in the bag, and that's that.

you know??!
 
when I go to the store with my shopping list and have forgotten my pen, I usually take one of those packages of Bic pens and put it in my cart, and peel just the corner back so I can extract one; then I use it to cross items off my list, and then before checkout I put the pen back in and return the package, only slightly mutilated, back onto its shelf.
 
yeah if I were a shoplifter I'd say it's ok to shoplift from CVS and Barnes & Nobles and Walmart etc.

now I'm thinking of going over to CVS and grabbing some of those razorblades

but I wouldn't steal bagels from a bakery I don't think
 
I used to work at Kmart and I would take food for my break/lunch and pay for it later because I didn't feel like standing in line for 13 minutes then getting 2 minutes to walk to the back and eat. One day I just started forgetting to pay for the food on a regular basis. Total cost was probably $50 worth of microwaveable soup things, but working there for 3 years depleted at least 5,421,528 soulcash units from my person, so in hindsight I wish I would've stolen more.

I once took a tray from McDonald's because a girl told me to.

That's it.
 
yea that was definitely my worst job ever. i wanted to stuff that red smock down someone's throat.
i worked in auto dept. !
 
I was in the garden so I had the green apron thing, until I got demoted to Toilet Clean Boy aka K13 because I yelled at the store manager for being an idiot (for the record, he was).

Man, now I'm upset that I didn't steal Gameboys or something cooler from that pit. Well, not really, but that would've made a better story than stealing soup and the occasional Snapple.
