See.
My cousin, and other people I've known shop lifted a bit in their day.
And their excuse was always "it's a big corporation, they won't miss it".
While I felt it was still wrong I kinda understood their bizarre logic.
But no longer.
They don't understand that while the CEO's won't suffer from it, the employees of that particular store may.
I've learned this first hand working at GameStop.
So some punk steals this or that, no biggie right?
Well when the big corporate monkeys come snoopin' around to check up on us and find out our store is missing a certain percentage of merchandise, we get put on "impact".
Basically lockin' us down, losing certain privileges, and having to record every little thing we do for a specific amount of time (months).
Yeah maybe shoplifiting doesn't hurt the big wigs, but it does hurt the little guy just tryin' to get by on shit pay. Who's responsible for what goes on in the store.
I had two nigg...black punks come in and try to trade in a stolen PSP from one of GameStop's other stores, unfortunately at the time my co worker was out gettin' food so while I was inspecting it, they saw me actin' a bit weird and wanted it back. I told them no and one came behind the counter tryin' to get it back and I told him to back off. The other punk grabs my co worker's cell phone and threatens to steal it, cause he thought it was mine, I acted as if I didn't know whose it was and didn't give a shit. After goin' back and forth between the two the one little black trash quick reached across the counter and swiped it out of my hands.
Never in my life have I ever felt the need to dub somebody the title of nigger. But that's what they were, scum, the trash of society.
Was it my PSP?
No.
Did I lose any money by lettin' the merch. get away?
No.
It sure hurt the Willow Grove store. PSP's are still a hot item.
The reason why I take this kind of thing personally is that it's a disrespect to me that this trash tries to get one up on me.
I can't deny that trash that came in that door definitely put a bad taste in my mouth of any people like them comin' in.
Inner city trash, white, black, latino, come to the buffet next door to spend their welfare check, then stoppin' in at my store to trash the place and make my life more difficult tha it needs to be.
