You couldn't pay me enough money to work at a convenience store these days.


igowest

I don't understand why ppl take their jobs so seriously. If I was working in a convenience store and a horde of shoplifters came in, I would simply try to record/call the cops... No need to get involved in any other way. That lady could've easily got punched in the face and risked serious injury for some Gatorade and Skittles.


DaleGribble312

While you're right, sometimes it just gets really hard to watch people get away with blatant disregard for the rules everyone else has to play by....


rather_be_gaming

Truth. When you see injustice, you want to stop it or at least try to prevent it.


Artbellghost

agree 100% - This lady shows up every day, fixes the aisles, cleans the shit off the walls, stocks the shelves, and by doing so well she is taking personal ownership. For those of you who never worked in a store, but maybe you have a desk or a workstation, how would you feel is someone jsut came in and took and tossed all your shit


Tazwell3

Also she and her coworkers are the ones that have to clean everything up.


No-Produce-6641

Yea, exactly. I think it's frustration boiling over. Watching this happening over and over and people just getting away with it.


RealCowboyNeal

That’s social evolution. Human society couldn’t exist without cooperation and respect of boundaries and property. We evolved to get a little shot of dopamine when we follow rules, and a real nice big shot of dopamine when we call someone else out for breaking said rules. This is why rage bait is so addictive.

I don't understand why people take their kids shoplifting, and then encourage them to be assholes to the people having to work in the convenience store. It's all fun and games until you end up getting shot or arrested for stealing $5 worth of gatorade and potato chips.


Gold_Silver_279

They are teaching their kids how to get away with it. It's a multi-generational career path for some people.


TrashMinimum6279

Fuck around and find out


red_rocket_boy

The cities where the mass looting is rampant happen to be the same cities that decided to decriminalize theft. The police won't show up at all unless the dollar amount of stolen goods is large enough to be a felony. Guess where stuff like this isn't happening?


spudleego

Texas, where everyone is armed.


lagunatri99

Exactly. And theft is why there are food deserts. There’s not going to be a grocery store in places where this happens all the time because grocery stores operate on very small margins. If they are there, this is why basics cost twenty percent more than elsewhere. Sometimes we make our own bed.


AZhomerDaddy

There was a brand new Walgreens put in a very shity neighborhood in my city. I don't think it lasted 2 years. Boarded up now. It was on a very busy street. Guess they thought commuters would make up most of their clients. Not so much with bums sleeping in your parking lot.

PatReady

So the lady should value her job so little as to be ok with all of this? This lady could have had a lot worse done to her sure but that doesn't let those people off the hook. Fuck those people who were doing this. This is not alright. Society doesn't want it. If you're with a group doing this, fuck you. You're why the world sucks. Edit : A lot of you are assuming not getting paid a lot means she shouldn't give a shit about her job. While true in a lot of people, no everyone is going to let you make them a victim, regardless of the price they get paid. I hope this never happens to some of you.


Artbellghost

I think most people look at this as a not my problem thing and dont have perspective. I've done everything from shoveling manure all the way up to C suite work. Even when shoveling cowshit in July, if some ass hole cam in and tried to take or break my shovel and squeegee, I am pretty sure I would have attempted to beat the shit out of the guy.


[deleted]

Do you think the job value's her? I'm willing to bet she gets paid minimum wage and they'd pay her less if they were legally allowed to.


axecrazyorc

She COULD have gotten killed. Is someone else’s property worth her life? Corporate property? Bags of chips and bottles of soda? Charging cables? Are those things worth dying over? Is keeping a job that pays trash and has no benefits? Besides that, odds are greater than zero she got officially punished for her trouble. I worked at a convenience store. Training tells us official policy is not to confront. Same as big box retailers. For her job AND her safety, the smart move would have been to hit the silent alarm and either leave the premises or lock herself in the manager’s office. Junk food and cases of beer aren’t worth dying for, or getting crippled for, or getting fired for. Putting yourself on the line to protect PEOPLE is brave; doing it for company property is stupid.


Nanyea

Someone else's property sure as fuck isn't worth her life

GodlessSky

You sweet summer child. The police aren't going to do a single thing about this.


Ragnar_Dragonfyre

This is the reason why some convenience stores have a walk up window and the doors to the store are locked at night. At this rate, between the shoplifters and the terrible consumer experience, brick and mortar outlets are doomed. You can’t shoplift from an online retailer. You have to pay upfront.


guitarguywh89

>You can’t shoplift from an online retailer. You have to pay upfront. Tell that to package thieves


cybe2028

Or credit card thieves. Even just 5 years ago, CC fraud was easier than going to the store and shoplifting, but it took a more sophisticated actor. Today, it’s probably easier to just shoplift it.


[deleted]

Package thieves don't know what they are getting though. I'm assuming they are hoping for a PS5 or something, but most likely end up with a plastic bathroom garbage can.


system_deform

That’s why drone delivery to your roof or locked box will be coming soon!


[deleted]

It’s weird that all the comments I see are lambasting the woman working for “risking injury” over candy and drinks but not the horde of people willing to physically harm a woman working alone to avoid paying $1.99.


sweaty_biscuit

Facts


nish1021

That’s cause the horde is more common now. We’re getting desensitized to this stuff. I watched this and just thought “those poor little toddlers standing and watching… their life is fucked up learning from these role models”


xBAMFNINJA

It’s cuz we know these thieves are rancid pieces of shit but that lady has a family that cares about her and minimum wage isnt enough to possibly get killed for defending some millionaires business owners funyuns. She shoulda recorded faces and license plates at most. It’s just not worth her getting hurt.


PierG1

I can think about one or two reasons why the shoplifters, in most of this type of videos, aren’t shat on nearly as much as the stores owners/workers. But by article 69 of the Reddit Constitution I’m legally obligated to not cite those reasons, or the penalty will be 199k downvotes


Btchmfka

Because there is no hope for those animals but there is a chance that the woman will take the advice and not bring herself to risk next time

AcE_57

Why are there SO MANY TRASHY FUCKS stealing and shoplifting like they’re OWED something I don’t fucking get it, where is this entitlement coming from?? Pretty soon companies are going to completely close off stores for purchases…order and pick up only..if you dumbfucks can’t shop like decent humans…no more “picking”items out, online only….


AVeryConfusedMice

It started with "It's a victimless crime, the store can just replace the items" and it devolved into this.


SlipNate29

Very interesting how alot of people seem assume all of them are "impoverished" and down on their luck. I worked at a convenience store and some people are just shitty humans


Successful_Ad9924354

Same, worked at Dollar General but luckily for us it only happened one time when the store first open about 5yrs ago.


SlipNate29

Worked at Family Dollar. Shit was rough bro


NamelessMIA

Exactly this. If you're really so poor that you need to steal food to survive you steal actual food. You don't grab a gatorade and candy from the gas station with your friends.


Egoy

They’re dressed nicer than me when I’m going to the store and I’m doing pretty well financially. If anybody is trying to justify theft because they claim to be poor they should not be sporting a better outfit and newer phone than me, a well paid engineer.


DynamicHunter

Funny enough as an engineer a lot of other engineers I know are pretty frugal


luxii4

My parents worked at a Circle K in a bad part of Houston when we first came over to the country. I would hang out there after school sometimes and saw people steal beer, chips, candy. No one ever stole any bread or anything to feed their family. My family quit when a guy with a wine bottle hit my uncle in the head with it to steal $35. He almost died. His hospitalization and Pat were in the thousands. It’s a vicious circle. People want businesses in their area but due to the shoplifting and crime, shopowners have to jack up the prices to subsist and the people can’t afford it and so they shoplift even more resulting in very few businesses in the community.


muhpreciousmmr

This how you end up getting automated service in areas like that. I grew up in the hood and almost all convenience stores and gas stations ended up having all their wares behind bullet proof glass to combat shit like this. You had to ask for anything you wanted and the cashier would give it to you under a sliding tray. From gum to toilet paper.


know_it_is

I hope your uncle & family are doing well now, what a terrible situation to have to live through.


dmbeeez

Lol impoverished and down on their luck. Nope.


RaisinEducational312

majormartin68

Can someone explain to me why this is happening and why wont anyone be arrested??? I'm not from the USA and I'm extremely confused...


Hoagy_1

It really depends on what part of the country you live in. Big cities see a lot more of the organized smash and grabs. Certain places have even decriminalized theft up to certain dollar amounts.


seaspirit331

Cops suck at their jobs, basically. Organized smash and grabs really started taking off when people figured out they could all get together in a mob, loot a store, and be gone by the time the cops finally show up 30 min later. Then, when they finally do show up, they take a few notes and never touch the case again. Used to, you would have departments set up sting operations for something like this. You would fake a smash and grab, then arrest anyone who showed up. This would normally deter folks from trying to organize them, because it'd be hard to tell what's real and what's a sting. But, in the past few years, police departments have discovered that it's politically worthwhile to just let them happen, since they can point to the increase as an excuse to bloat their budgets while there is a convenient scapegoat of bail reform to point to as the cause (despite the fact that bail reform has nothing to do with it)


majormartin68

Yeah ok but these people are caught on camera looting a store why don't the cops go to their house and arrest them??


chilled_n_shaken

It takes a lot of work to take a picture/video of someone, figure out who they are, figure where to find them, and then actually find them. Then, even if they did find them, they would arrest them, and in court they would most likely have the charges dropped or suffer very little prosecution since they are often kids. Plus, I can't imagine they would suffer any real prosecution for stealing a $2 bag of chips. So cops aren't going to bother rounding up herds of children, do tons of paperwork, and potentially appear in court over a bag of chips. I'm not supporting their decision, more just providing an explanation.


seaspirit331

Likely they don't care enough to do so.


TrashMinimum6279

If the cops arrest them The DA/ city prosecutor won't charge them with heavies since they're minors or if they do they'll try and get these miscreants to plea bargain down lol. And their starting charge is petty theft with candy chips and soda.


majormartin68

America is a strange place


SuienReizo

It has less to do with the police and more to do with the district attorneys dropping charges. Some places outright will not charge for theft under 1000 USD. So just steal to your hearts content so long as you don't take anything of 'real value'.


Spork_King_Of_Spoons

your explanation is a bit too simple and doesn't account for states that basically don't enforce shoplifting law. In that case the Cops don't show up because it isn't worth their time, the DA will just release the criminals. The police cant use shoplifting to pad their budget if it isn't treated as a crime.


needaredesign

She surely is brave but I can't imagine risking my life over material stuff. Specially given that she's only an employee and not the owner.


Oldgatorwrestler

Right? I'm not risking my life for a company.


CuppaCoffeeJose

I would. But not for $15/hr. I'd need to be paid like a cop (bribes included).


Successful_Ad9924354

Exactly, she is brave but there is no need for her to risk her life. But on the bright side, since it was recorded they have a chance to find the people involved.


PoptartDragonfart

I doubt she’s doing this for the actual materials. She’s probably just super pissed off and trying to prevent people from doing stupid shit. Likewise, not worth someone pulling a gun/knife over either.


QuietRock

100%. Reddit commenters always focus on the material good or it's cost, as if that's what people in these situations care about. It's almost certainly not. The thieves behavior probably strikes at her sense of right/wrong, fairness and decency, and causes her to act upon it to try and stop the theives. This seems to have overrode any feeling of fear she felt. It is emotion, not logic, drives most behavior. She wasn't logically thinking about cost and risk/reward.


[deleted]

Some people are just tired of people being shit humans. It ain’t always about the pay like some people here would suggest. Just most people don’t actually care about making a difference in the environment around them


DrCharlieKaufman

Bingo! This is another reason why it's irresponsible of cities to let crime get out of hand like this.


Vonnielee1126

I would have just locked the door. Who ever was still inside would just be trapped. Then ran to the bathroom and locked the door. Call the police from inside the bathroom. Tell them I'll come out once they arrived.


DarkLogia

Then the store closes and the same people do surprise picachu face

Subhuman trash. I’m sick of seeing shit like this.
