Cry me a river. Show me one instance of a person who reported a shoplifter ON A REASONABLE BASIS AND HONESTLY to store security and had their lives somehow "ruined."
All the iPhone footage has been of jerks calling 911 on black people for breathing or existing in the same bodega with them or being in the lobby of their own building. That some of y'all identify with such people and think you might share their fate says a lot about you.
Remember:
The media shows only what will draw viewers.
You tubers will monetize what will make them money.
There are many arrests by many people on video as
there are many mistakes by many people on videos.
Nobody is perfect in this world.
Anyone who makes a habit of shoplifting will eventually be caught.
Which is a moot point because the DA's office has gone far left social justice warrior and won't give shoplifters any time because they are "disadvantaged"
I remember some years ago. I saw a teen in my neighborhood steal little Debbie cakes and alike. This is before all of this sjw epoch in our time line. Any how I saw him stealing. I did not say anything to the Yemeni deli owner, instead I offered to buy the cakes for the teen. I paid for his cakes. The teen thanked me. Things could have happened the other way. The teen was caught stealing, and the Yemeni chased the teen for 50 cents cakes. Imagine if my scenario happened in the sjw/woke epoch. But this time I told the Yemeni owner that some teen is stealing, the Yemeni chases the teen, teen gets chased and hit by a car. Teen is killed. Than next week you see black lives matter requesting the city to shut down the Yemeni owned Bodega for its actions. Such scenario can easily happen in this city now a days due to the current epoch we are in.
That whole Macys story reminded me of what happened to me in Toys R Us back in early 2000. I had brought a Nerf Gun from KB Toys in Manhattan Mall and excited to play with it I took it out the box and tossed the box. Toys R Us was basically right there so I decided to stop by and check out some LEGO. They didn't have the set I wanted so I went to leave the store.
On my way out I was stopped for shoplifting and they took the Nerf gun from me and escorted me to a back room. I kept telling them I brought it at another store and they just kept saying I was lying and wanted me to pay for the gun I got from KB. They asked for my home number and called my mom and told her I was shop lifting and if she didn't come pay for the stolen property they were gong to hand me over to the police. My mom came down there and started arguing and demanded to see the video of me stealing. And of course the camera showed me enter, go to the lego isle then try to leave. Nerf guns were on a different floor and they had no video of me going to that floor.
Needless to say that was the last time I went into a Toys R us and I never purchased anything from them from that day forward.
Before they bulldozed the block on 161 and Morris Avenue to build the new courthouse they had a store there that when they catch shoplifters they would take their photo holding up the items and post them on a wall of shame so when you leaving the store you can see them. I doubt they do that anymore as I remember recognized one of my friends moms holding up Mac and cheese in one of the pics. I doubt stores have the wall of shame anymore as we are now in a SJW world.
I don't get this. Most mothers can make just make breastmilk for free
Not all mothers can produce breastmilk right and for some mothers breast feeding is an uncomfortable process.
Ive seen the bad side of breast feeding a few times but what I don't get is that the same ones who are stealing the formula may not want it for themselves but to sell it. When 2 individuals I know had kids the government threw so much free stuff at them its like they didn't even had to provide for their kid. Free formula, free metrocard to take the kid to the doctor for appointments, WIC, foodstamps, they even gave a free thing that looks like a crib but wasn't a crib and more of a play pen. Coupons for like half off strollers, and every visit they went to the doctor for the kids checkups they came back with like 2 cases of formula for free.

This is one of the reasons I rather shop at BJs for my body grooming needs. True DR and Wallgreens may have more variety in fragrances but the hassle of going to the isle and ringing the bell to wait for someone to come and open the case just to give you a razorblade, teeth whiting kit, toothpaste, or facial cleanser is ridiculous.
I like to be able to freely grab the product, take it to a self check out register and get out the store with as little interaction with anyone else as possible.
