Read this in another thread.People try it on all the time in shops, whether it's eating something before getting to the check-out or scanning a cheaper item a couple of times to avoid paying for a more
expensive item (at the self-service tills) or simply feeling it isn't necessary to point out a change error if it's in their favour.
I've often wondered about the morals of people and how one person doesn't see a problem, where others appear to believe it's the worst thing ever.
I haven't ever opened anything and ate it while walking round the shop and I don't like seeing other people do it either (seriously, can you not wait until you've finished shopping?!).
It seems acceptable in food shops, but not clothes shops - why is this?
Just like I've watched people not scan a bag for life, thus stealing it.
Would that person steal a 25p bottle of bleach? Or a £1 chocolate bar? What is the limit they would go up to before morals kick in and they decide it's stealing?
Yet these people who steal bags from the supermarket probably pay for their TV licence, which is easily avoided. And berate others for not doing so maybe?
Would they steal from a local greengrocer?
Speeding is another good one.
I don't know anyone who doesn't speed in one way or another.
So why is that acceptable but running a red light (at a pelican crossing) at 2am isn't?
Welcome others' thoughts on this.
