Defending someone who steals from a shop on the basis that it is "casual pilfering" or justifying it by the prices charged by the shop is the real "Sad but true" here.
Nice bloke or not - stealing is stealing, a thief is a thief. The fact that it seems to be accepted here to the point that not only will someone admit to it in a public forum, but suggest that others do likewise then have these views supported by other members of the forum, I find totally baffling. Clearly my standards of honesty are at odds with the accepted standards of behaviour here. Sad, but true indeed.

I'm now going to give you a heads up of how to get some deserving and satisfying cash back from Tesco's, here goes now I love my fruit and especially New Zealand Jazz apples very expensive, so whenever I see them loose I pick myself half a dozen make my way over to the self serve then plonk them on the scanner thingy which will ask you to tell them what fruit and what apples they are, so obviously you will tell them they are the cheapest apples in the store so you scan you pay and away you go with a large finger up yours Tesco's.
That is theft by deception. It is amazing how fast ones opinion can change of people. Casual shoplifting is despicable.
Coming from a company that fed you me and a few million British people Horse meat for god knows how many years and they barely got away with a slap on the wrist and I see it as a poor form of compensation they've taken a lot more money off me through the years than I will ever take off them FUCK THEM! I'm the type of person that will go the extra mile to help the right people never made a insurance compensation claim in my life home or car, never claimed benefit even when I was entitled to it, I confront trouble makers in my community my neighbours call around regular I class myself as a honest person but when I deal with multi national corporations I have a different mindset after all we are talking about the biggest criminals on the planet, maybe I should have charged you more than the miserly £10 for honing your Kamisori and actually given Tesco rates which would have been more fitting.
Stealing is stealing is stealing no matter how you justify it to yourself. Our definitions of an "honest person" are clearly very different.
I fervently wish I had seen that post of yours before I ended up sending my razor to a self confessed thief.
It would seem that my version of honesty puts me in a minority here so I will trouble you no further.
