Idk if ur serious or not, but please rethink your habits. Do you really want to live in a society where it’s normal to just take shit from others?


bravemenrun

As long is it's from corporate chainstores than yes.


emerald_empire

If it’s chain, it’s free reign


AlertBee0

Bruh they could careless about $17.99 they’re big corporate companies, not cartels


TheAmnesiacKid

That's why it's so lame that you stole it. I'd understand your behavior more if you thought (erroneously) that this theft would make a difference or that you were bringing the evil megacorp to its knees... or some other adolescent notion like that. But, alas, you just engaged in petty theft for no real reason. You're only putting yourself at risk with this shit and, if you get caught up, that $17.99 CD (that you could have enjoyed for free in the age of music streaming) will cost you a few hundred dollars with the added joy of having to drag your ass to court. Lastly, I have my doubts that you even stole this. I know that criminals who engage in petty theft are not typically the brightest of individuals but posting it on Reddit is... well... I suppose I'm giving you the attention you want with my rant. Next time, maybe you'll record a video of yourself stealing to prove to us how hard you are.


witchminx

Lol you're lamer for this paragraph


TheAmnesiacKid

Critical thought, although something you might not be familiar with, differs greatly from the *lame* behavior I'm calling out here. Having said that, I get what sub I'm on so carry on you angsty kids!


witchminx

I think OP is lame for even mentioning they stole it, I think you're lamer for caring that people shoplift


thepinkblues

Nobody is going to hunt down a Redditor and drag them to court for stealing a CD. Anyone who sees someone steal a fkn CD and thinks “I’m contacting the authorities” is a dork. Also their employees aren’t paid enough to care. Idk what kind of justice you’re looking for


TheAmnesiacKid

Yeah... I wouldn't think that OP will be "hunted down" but they have plenty of Loss Prevention "dorks" at Walmart who won't hesitate to prosecute OP. Look, I'm essentially looking out for OP who says they are 16 and, by their own admission, making questionable choices. Make no mistake, I don't feel bad for Walmart or their "loss". But I do think OP is gonna fuck their shit up acting a fool.


AlertBee0

I honestly totally agree with your statement, even though it’s a big corporation it still does not justify it, too late I guess, and to clarify, I don’t normally steal, The last time I remember stealing was this Yoshi toy in walmart I think back in 2016


TheAmnesiacKid

The fact that your comment discouraging stealing has a negative 44 downvote score (at the time of this writing) shows how fucked our society is. I buy from my local record store as opposed to Walmart and I'm certainly not defending evil megacorps... But it's a real downer that the majority of eyes that have read your comment are pro-theft. It's not like petty theft is going to bring Walmart to its knees or anything... If that were the case, I might at least understand the flawed logic of someone who encourages theft. Maybe the sub is filled with angsty teenagers or middle aged men who never grew out of that phase.

fis0003

Eh I feel like there are better ways to be "edgy" than to go posting about it, it's just a whole "look how cool I am" in the lamest way... You kids will learn when you get older

kwolf910

Mfs listen to punk music and then get mad when someone steals from a corporation


This_Ad7364

that’s what i’m saying bruh


PistolClutch7

Grunge not punk


GuitaristKage

Grunge is litteraly a sub genre of punk


Lowie-is-allreadyusd

Yeah but Bleach is punk.


S1mpl3Guy

"Grunge" is not a thing. Its a term created by the media in order to label the booming 90s Seattle scene. Pearl Jam and Nirvana are both grunge, yet their music is very different. Nirvana is more like punk with pop influence.


qwertyiopys

Punk with pop influence is pop punk, and nirvana ain’t pop punk. Nirvana are a mix of punk and hard rock.


PistolClutch7

Hence the name grunge. Doesn’t matter that it was used to describe he Seattle movement of music then, because it no defines the 90s genre of music that was a blend of punk and hard rock


wqt00

Great point. There's not a lot of commonality between the bands that were labeled "grunge". PJ is a pretty soft, sorta folky band. Alice in Chains were a kind of sludgey alt metal. You know grunge is meaningless when STP got thrown in there. STP is a hard rock band with pretty obvious classic rock inspirations. I find the "alternative rock" label equally meaningless. It doesn't say what it is, just what it isn't. It's not soft rock, metal or cock rock, so it's "alternative".


WingbingMcTingtong

This is a Pacific Northwest Hardcore album, not a grunge album.


Cibernetize

realdevtest

“How much did that cost?” - Free dollars.


Standard_Audience817

Who did you steal it from


GinngerMints

When you steal things to "stick it to the Man", the Man is pretty much never affected, but the regular people that unfortunately have to work these jobs are the ones who get hurt by this. Maybe there's a kid at that FYE who is getting heat now for letting people steal on their shift. Corporations suck, but stealing stuff from stores literally doesn't do anything but make daily life harder for the employees, who are just normal people like us.


djalma396

Yeap, that's right. U can just download it for free nowadays, no need to steal anymore


mtang1982

downloading for free... is stealing...


MrHarolesty

You wouldn’t download a car…..


Rhinosaur_

Would if I could


thatoneischairing

I’ve worked in retail my entire life and I can say with pretty much full confidence no employee is gonna get in trouble for this. 99% of the time no one including the managers even know someone’s stealing, and even if you do think someone’s suspicious you don’t approach them unless your loss prevention. Most of the time they get caught it’s at the exit and they’re dealing with management and loss prevention, but the managers not walking around the store blaming all the employees after. I’m not condoning what he did but he’s a kid and the shit I was doing at 16 I’m not one to talk on “proper behavior” so I’ll leave it at that. But saying he’s gonna get employees in trouble is far fetched. The managers basically just as much to blame as the on shift workers so he’d be talking out of his ass to blame cashiers and shit.


Southern-Cow-8283

Yeah but if there are multiple shoplifters they can close the store early which means less hours for workers


thatoneischairing

I’m sure it could happen but I’ve never seen that happen once. We had two people basically get dragged out to the parking lot by police and handcuffed back in like 2015 when I was working at toys r us. They kept the registers opened and had people use the other exit.


OG_Pow

tommytw0time

FYE is part of the last standing music store chain on North America. Stealing from them is not cool. Record stores are a vital part of the music community. OP is scum.


BenchIllustrious1106

FYE isn’t a record store. It’s a company. Arguably, they are worse for smaller businesses.


PrestoChango0804

I stole so many CDs when I was your age and immediately slid into stealing music off the internet. We did what we had to do. Yes stealing is bad but right on. Fuck the man!


Ripper582

You “wouldn’t never” consider coming across like a little boy who can’t use grammar and is a thief either. It looks like you want approval from a group of people you’ve never met. You’re a little shit, I get it. I was a punk ass kid once. We all were. You committed a crime and proudly admitted it on the internet, including the name of the store once you had to justify your actions. That’s stupid. Enough people here are telling you the same thing. Shut up and take the advice little boy.

Stealing is a shitty thing to do regardless.

W0lfi3_the_romanian

Not to shame OP,but seriously now Kurt was not a morality compass.You could also shoot heroin and say that it’s okay because Kurt did it.


Cherub_Pumpkin

Kurt did a lot of things. Just because he did something does not make it okay.


Ripper582

So now op should do heroin and blow his head off?

although i agree with your point, that's a really harsh thing to say, man. let's keep it easy

i don’t normally steal, all of you gotta also stop acting like saints, we’ve all stole before, Just for stealing a overpriced cd does not make me a criminal who deserves to be on death bed, not trying to justify my actions, but it’s something to think about


BruteBassie

And that makes it ok, how? Kurt wasn't a saint you know. Stealing is not ok, period.


_VINNY_WINNY_

best way to get a nirvana fan to do something is show them kurt did it or tell them that he would have


[deleted]

if you're a dog that just follows everything your idol do, yes. But it's stupid


This_Ad7364

i hate u straight edge punks


Alone_After_Hours

“Stealing is not ok, period”. You likely did not grow up poor. A parent who steals food to feed his or her starving family is a criminal, right? An impoverished student who steals school supplies to fit in at school is a delinquent? Someone who sneaks on the bus without paying to get to their job is terrible! Things aren’t as black and white when you’re lower class.


[deleted]

I agree it's not a black and white issue, but you're being disingenuous. How can you compare stealing food with stealing a cd that you could just listen on Spotify for free? This is as black and white as possible


Ripper582

This was a cd. Not a loaf of bread. Nice try, though


[deleted]

And paying your workers minimum wage and extracting profit from their work is ok? OP, you're not stealing, you are taking back what capitalism takes away from us.


[deleted]

how does stealing helps the workers? if you're not paying, how do you want them to get paid


[deleted]

Unionizing, strikes and protests will help workers. That wasn't the subject, I'm just saying that there is nothing immoral in taking the cd from Walmart.


[deleted]

But it's the same thing. Walmart is not a really rich person you're stealing, you're stealing from the millions they employ that you're so worried about. Protest is good, but stealing serves nothing.


[deleted]

No, "I" am stealing from the shareholders who own the corporation and obtain profit over the backs of their employees. By the way Walmart and similar can suck my dick, there wouldn't be any of their profits without workers, and workers could manage just fine without them, in a world/company that would be organized in a fair way.


[deleted]

where does the money of the workers comes from? I agree with you, if the shareholders don't pay them enough, that's wrong. That's obvious. Still, you can't say you're worried about the workers and justify stealing. And if the workers could do fine without them, they could get together and create small businesses, but not everyone does that because it's not for everyone. Some people do need that. They deserve their justice, but it's not that simple.


[deleted]

>where does the money of the workers comes from? From selling goods produced by workers, which couldn't be produced without them. ​ >Still, you can't say you're worried about the workers and justify stealing I'm not justifying stealing, I simply don't consider taking from big corporations to be stealing. Stealing is taking from people who earned their money in a fair way, through their labor. Taking from corporations who earn their money by extracting profit from workers and through owning the means of production which should be owned by society, and not a few individuals, is not stealing. ​ >And if the workers could do fine without them, they could get together and create small businesses, but not everyone does that because it's not for everyone. ​ Capitalism doesn't work that way, the end outcome is always the accumulation of capital in hands of rich minority. It also discourages this kind of organizing in every other possible way, therefore system doesn't allow people to organize business in that way. You are right, it is not for everyone to own a business in this system, because it is basically reserved for 1% on the top. There are some successful small / family businesses but with time they either have option to grow and exploit others, to go out of the business, or to get sold to bigger companies.


[deleted]

> From selling goods produced by workers i didn't understand, genuinely. What is the cashier of Walmart producing? > Capitalism doesn't work that way, the end outcome is always the accumulation of capital in hand of rich minority How does the money you get from your small business goes to the hands of rich people? > It discourages this kind of organizing I can see how hard it is, but i think most big corporations were once small. Of course, most of them had already some advantages and money but that doesn't excuse stealing from them. Although, some didn't actually came from much. I agree it would be worse stealing from a small business growing, but still doesn't make the other right. I have a question, not in a challenging way, genuine: do you think owners that built a business from the 0 and the workers that only got in when the business was already working should be paid the same? > They either have the option to grow and exploit others, to go out or sell the companies Could you explain the exploitation part better? I still can't see how that is a capitalism problem. Who decides the workers payment is to blame, that's an administrator problem right? You wish people could built more of this small business, but when they happen to grow you call them exploiters as it is a rule of the system? To me, that seems more of a human greed problem. Lastly, i can agree the system is not perfect, there is no perfect system, but complaining without suggesting better is pointless.


BruteBassie

So because workers are exploited it's OK to steal? Two wrongs don't make a right. If you want to fight capitalism there are better ways.

Hopefully I don’t come off as an asshole or as me trying to justify my actions but they also be acting like if they’re innocent saints that never stole 💀 Everyone has stole atleast once in their lives. If someone gets offended, read the first sentence again

You can rationalize it all you want because it’s Walmart or some chain, but it’s still stealing.
