no offence but there is literally nothing morally wrong with cheating on tests/at school… it’s up there with piracy on the list of Crimes Everyone Is Convinced Are Wrong And Harmful But If You Actually Think About Them For 12 Seconds It’s Fine And You Definitely Should Commit Them At Some Point

Also nothing morally wrong with stealing from a big corp store (like walmart) or stealing money from a friend or family member who borrowed and never paid you back. Plus nothing morally wrong with getting revenge on someone who wronged you.

Please don’t steal from corporate stores.

You aren’t hurting corporate.

You are hurting the employees.

Because.

When comp loss goes up, the store profit is hurt and some bigwig far, far away tells your district to tighten down on hours. Because god forbid shareholders aren’t rolling in the fucking dough.

Suddenly, me, a low level manager, normally garanteed 39 hours per week, is getting 36 hours per week. 6 hours less per check. I make almost $15 an hour (10 years retail experience plus Rx certification), so that’s a little under $120 before taxes. I have a 2 year old son and that’s a week’s worth of groceries. You’re taking food out of my son’s mouth. No, sorry, out of mine, because he eats first. But, he only has a handful of clothes that fit. 3 sets of pajamas. He’s sleeping in just a diaper tonight because they’re all dirty and I’m too goddamn tired from my 10 hour shift to wash clothes.

Let’s go deeper than just my financial pain. Less hours for the store means less overlap for managers. One opens, one closes. No time to communicate because don’t you dare make us go over budget.

One cashier and one manager closing. Between handling money, subbing in the pharmacy when they’re overburdened, taking care of customers on the floor, being the only one working on the floor to put up truck, cleaning the bathrooms, taking out the trash, completing resets, and putting up the shit that customers leave all over the store, I’m fucking exhausted. I can’t get anything else done but there’s always something that needed to be done that fell to the wayside because there aren’t enough people working.

I’m a manager.

I’m a cashier.

I’m a sales floor associate.

I’m a janitor.

I’m a stocker.

I’m an inventory coordinator.

I’m a pharmacy technician.

I’m store security.

I’m a key carrier.

I have a bachelor’s degree. I actually do like my job in general and my store manager is the fucking bomb.

However, my official position is and will always be “fuck shoplifters.”
