I am not advocating shoplifting, but we all did something dumb as a kid. What is your story?
Me, I was 2 years old and at Tim Hortons with my mother and a family friend. This was almost 50 years ago and Tim Hortons still had servers back then, so there was a cutout in the counter for them to go in and out. The donuts are in racks behind the counter. I had had a chocolate donut paid for by my mother, and apparently I decided I wanted another, and I was so little I nipped behind the counter when nobody was there, helped myself to another, and was only discovered when my mother noticed me polishing off a different donut. She did pay for it and everyone laughed, I was just little and it was funny. Sadly the quality of Tim Hortons donuts has gone way downhill over the intervening years, as older Canadians know.
I just mean I’m not trying to start off anything controversial. Haha. But I’m not angry at the tent encampment people in my city swiping food from Walmart at all.
Same. Just without talking, people always think the worst. The admins for Lemmy.World are a non-profit in the Netherlands.
They’re a bit more professional than Midwest.social, who I absolutely respect. But there’s a different level of professionalism here than the guy hosting a server out of his Ohio basement.
On the other hand, they don’t have the big corporate backing and structure of something like Reddit. LW doesn’t have a team of lawyers if they get into trouble. Do they even have one lawyer? How involved is that lawyer if they do exist? I can’t say.
Well it’s hard to see a grocery store here charge 8.99 for deodorant and care a whole lot about the ethics of swiping it.
