I'll admit I was hesitant at first precisely because I thought shoplifting was merely for the unwashed masses.
I started shoplifting after finding out people from all socioeconomic strata do it. In fact, rich people do it all the time.

No matter how you want to spin it, at the end of the day OP was considerate, honest, and tried to make things right. In return, he got punished for it. His life will change dramatically for the worse over something that nobody knew was occurring until he offered to repay them — asking for nothing in return except forgiveness.

The manager’s decision to behave like some robot following procedure to charge OP, thereby ignoring his humanity and not having empathy, is what’s wrong with the world today. For all we know, OP may have kids at home, a family he’s taking care of, or elders that are dependent on him. I hate that OP is considered naive for doing this, but the world is sadly growing more corporate, robotic, and cold. Ironically, this energy also makes the entire system far less productive and creates much unnecessary misery for everyone. It’s also becoming universal in every industry and walk of life. Treating people like a number, rather than the unique individuals they are, seems like the default response now.

But… It’s the path we’ve chosen: most would rather blindly follow a rulebook someone else wrote instead of judging each situation on a case-by-case basis with empathy and careful consideration to ensure the best resolution is achieved for every party involved

That's why it would be a foolish thing to do. Just donate the money to charity or them in some way. It's not like they could just retroactively sell you the stuff you sold, so the manager is going to have to explain the situation to corporate who will just follow the rulebook for dealing with shoplifters.

The story is fake but in the 1% chance it's not, what you describe is the kind of thing that would be a charming fairytale about the thief who made amends or some shit if we lived in the 19th century. Weird how a time when you could be executed for being too much of a skank or an asshole was also more forgiving of people who tried to make amends for their crimes.

Agree 100% with the sentiment.

Though, a note:
>His life will change dramatically for the worse
Not really. Germany isn't the US, getting caught for petty theft once isn't going to change anything. He's not going to be sent to jail for less than $1000 worth of goods, and your criminal record isn't public, and most people never get in a situation where it will be checked by anyone. All that will happen is that he'll get a fine. So OP was exaggerating (assuming it's even a real story).

[Anonymous No.57132389]

No. Reddit is full of LARPers and people who have as much trouble distinguishing between reality and fiction as the average twitter user. Their entire system for managing what content users see creates a never ending feedback loop that results in redditors living in a weird dream state.

Imagine spending a vast amount of time online immersed in a world of surface level information. You feel clever and witty because you say things that get you fake internet points from other people who also want to feel clever and witty. What passes for wit of course is wholly unoriginal, to the point where you kick yourself for not being faster to post in a highly upvoted thread when you open it up and see twenty slight variations of the same joke and references that you were planning to make when you saw it.

You read advice or information and you soak it all in under the assumption that it's very good. Until one day you come across a topic that you actually know about. Then you are hit with the sudden realization that reddit creates an enforced consensus of reality that seems clever and insightful to people who are neither particularly clever nor insightful. The same surface level information is regurgitated from mouth to mouth, mixing in with factoids, opinions, and misunderstandings until it becomes accepted gospel by the sort of people who skim a wikipedia article on physics and suddenly think that they're Steven Hawking.

Reddit is peak normie culture. Views and hobbies all carefully designed to fit in. There is always an attempt to be special without significantly deviating from the accepted narrative. Everyone pretends to be a slight social misfit in order to fit in. The LARPs are badly written according to what reddit thinks is true and normal and how people behave in real life. The twists always predictable. The same stock characters recycled.

Redditors are impoverished in a way that's fundamentally difficult to grasp, but once you do it's horrifying.

Metal Gear Solid 2 predicted this when the story was written in 1999. In the end conversation with the AIs, Rose starts talking about how we all "withdraw into out little desperate 'ponds', scared of a larger community online". This is a direct reference to a popular Japanese image board, aside from 4chan. You can tell that each online community has their own culture and their own ideas of what is actually considered "truth". In a dopamine fed world, "truth" is whatever the community, the government, or Google tells you it is. Look at the definition for a recession, which is 2 separate quarters of negative GDP growth. This occurred in 2022, but the government changed the definition of this truth and everyone bought it. Same thing with the definition of a vaccine, which is supposed to mean when you receive it, you can never get the sickness again.

The perception of truth can be change at a whim, and it has never been more prevalent today.

I don't believe this story because so many people in the story (store manager, police, court, and employer) all have to be equally unbelievably heartless and inhumane. To an average normal person, this would be a heartwarming story on the local news.

They find the plight of unfortunate/poor/weird people and scammers hilarious. There are people at the major train stations in Berlin who pretend to be from a charity for refugee mothers, domestic violence victims, etc., but are actually just scammers. The Germans know this but instead of doing anything about them they just laugh at them trying to scam people and let them continue doing it because it's entertaining to see lowlifes try to scam foreigners.

that every body says maybe i believe it because germany says a lot about the perspective there
