i almost always steal a instant pudding package. while drunk ive taken some full hoagies from wegmans. when i lived in europe though i never stole lol. but in jersey i guess anytime im under the influence i end up waking up with something in my pocket or jacket pocket.

in highschool i would get drunk and walk up to the same wegmans and eat a lot of food illegally from the chinese food buffet and walk out, or fill up a container, walk around drinking a large silk chocolate milk and eat my fried goodies and walk out lol.

ive done a lot of illegal shit over the years and luckily never so much as had a verbal warning.

I don't really consider it stealing, but when I still worked at the produce section in a grocery store I'd just eat whatever piece of fruit caught my fancy.

The management didn't care as long as I didn't overdo it.

Only once when I was a little kid, and still feel guilty to this day. I took a couple tootsie rolls from a candy isle at a store out on Long Island. A friend did too so it kind of like let's try it out and see if we can get away with it which we did. We bought a lot of other stuff from the place before, during, and after which in my mind mitigates it a bit. Otherwise no, I don't steal stuff from stores.

If you get a criminal record which you might for doing that it'll hurt your chances at jobs later. A lot of companies do criminal background checks and they'll notice even minor shit, because it shows a lack of moral character and then they might not want to trust you with their shit, especially if it's other people's money.

Any decent company, there are a lot sleazy companies that'll hire anyone but at a very low wage.

I was homeless for about a year when I was 16-17. I hung out with a group of like 3-5 other homeless teenagers. I was the cleanest and most mature of the group, so I would go to the deli at the grocery store and order food there and then just walk out. The deli assumes you'll pay at the front, the front assumes you paid at the deli. No fucks are given at all.

If you're ever homeless in NYC there are a lot of churches and temples that provide food. There's no reason to steal, good food too but it's always best to provide for yourself.

Don't. Recently in my area, a store threw out some contaminated peaches, and someone took them out of the dumpster.

Calm down faggot. I don't steal from stores, but if there's any type of store that would hurt the least from the occasional pickpocket it's big brand chain stores. Don't forget that these stores often monopolize and drive out local businesses.

When you steal from Walmart, you're stealing from those elderly greeters at the door, you're stealing from that kid trying to pay his way through college, you're stealing from that single mom working three jobs to feed her kids.

I'm such a bad thief it's not even funny. I only ever tried stealing four times.

First time I tried to steal a candy bar from a drug store as a young child, but my mom caught me a made me put it back.

Second time, I stole this kids shiny rocket's Mewtwo. Got away with it, he was universally hated anyway.

Third, tried to steal a vitamin water by putting it in my pocket and covering it with my skateboard. Shop owner spotted that big ass bulge from a mile away.

And the last time, me and a friend tried stealing Snickers from a Sav-on. They sell them by the box, so we opened up a box and took out two Snickers. Ran into some friends on our way out of the store and chatted for a bit. We parted ways then security was on us. We we're "banned" from the store, but the funniest part is my friend got a job there several years later, lol.

I played look-out a bunch though. My skateboard crew had a phase where we would steal liquor from a grocery store, sell it to this nearby Russian restaurant and use the money to buy weed. Not my proudest memories.
