Re: have you ever cheated at the self checkout??
...

By your own description, is it really your business or is it a cooperative. Do you actually have employees or do you have partners?
By definition of profit you are saying that your partners/contratcors keep everything that they earn. Do they file 1099 income tax returns.

Do you match their SS, Work comp, and unemployment?

Profit:a financial gain, especially the difference between the amount earned and the amount spent in buying, operating, or producing something.
"pretax profits"
 Quoting: rccola

Id rather not go into the details, suffice it to say I play by the same rules Donald Trump does if that makes sense to you, the only difference is I am fair to those who depend on me to make a living and he is not.

My basic policy is to try to cost the government and globalist corporations as much as possible while giving them as little as possible in return
They are the enemy, and even their pockets have a bottom somewhere.

That answer is as I expected it to be. However I would like to see an actual reference to the claims you make about Trump.. just to be fair.

and back to topic:
And are you ok with those people that work with you stealing from you?
 Quoting: rccola

Why would they steal from me?

That's what you dont get.

They dont steal from me because it would be stealing from themselves. That's the idea of a profit sharing agreement.
Oh, and as crazy as this is going to sound to you the only people who ever did steal from my business were white men.

The "Hispanics" are honest to a fault if you treat them like a brother.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81042018


Funniest thing I have read all day, no offense. They can get 100% of something or 33%? Listen, people are either honest or they're not. Has nothing to do with color. Could be the "Hispanics" you hired are content with their lot in life and that's the crux of your benefit. Good for them and good for you..

But trust me they do not look at you like a brother even if you treat them that way. And I personally know plenty who outright proclaim their right to your stuff because you're better off than then. I used to hire day labor and let them use my tools and products until I figured out they would take them and then if caught act like your the loon because it is definitely theirs. White black or Hispanic didn't matter - color was no predictor of theft.

I hired a contractor once (hispanic) to do a house remodel on an out of town property provide only labor and skill. I supplied 100% of the material because I wanted to select it myself.

Pictures looked great but found out later on in person inspection he traded in my materials for much cheaper products.

That's not because he's Hispanic. It's because he's a contractor where stealing and overcharging on materials seems like a part of the job description.
Life is a spiritual war and no matter where we lay our head, we live in a warzone.

Re: have you ever cheated at the self checkout??
The only cheating I can justify doing is typing in the code for a cheaper produce item than the one I'm actually buying. There is so much waste in the produce section as it is, and they throw out so much unsold fruit and veg, I can't even feel guilty about it--they're at least getting some money from me. Green bell peppers are on sale, but the red ones aren't? Well, they are now; the scale doesn't know what I've put on it, only how much it weighs. And I never ring in organic produce at the organic price, only the conventional one.

But that's it. I don't take anything that I haven't paid for.

Re: have you ever cheated at the self checkout??
There was a young guy in the uk who put a PlayStation 3 or 4 through the self service and weighed it as if it was bananas and paid like £2 quid for it, the daft bastard only got caught because he got greedy and tried to steal another the subsequent week later, funny reading that story on my way to work few years ago.

But to answer the question erm, no comment.

 Quoting: Bright Side


You are making an assumption,about me.

You think because I have land and a few wells and a business I must be white.

I am not. MANY people with ancestors from Texas have land and oil beneath it. I live a simple life. I fish from a canoe and the only hunting stuff I have is rifles and clothes.
I live in a four bedroom house and it seems too big to me.

And I personally know plenty who outright proclaim their right to your stuff because you're better off than then.
 Quoting: Bright Side


I don't know about that, I dont think a person just being better off than you is good enough reason to steal from him.

What I will tell you is there isnt many people of American Indian ancestry that believe stealing from white men is wrong. I hope you can understand. If you can't it's your moral failing not mine.

Re: have you ever cheated at the self checkout??
Absolutely NOT. 1) I’m generally an honest person. 2) I am blessed at this moment to have enough money to pay for what I need and most of what I want. And 3) most important reason I hate check out lines. The nosey cashiers and incompetent bag boy/girls. With self check I can avoid all of that petty annoyance. If people steal then the self check out will go AWAY and I don’t want that. At ALL.

ya know, sorta like *forget* to scan something. or if the scanner doesn't read / beep just put it in your cart anyhow, knowing you can play stupid if they catch you...
 Quoting: Jumping Jack Flash


NO....

I can honestly say that I never have. Why?

1. Because even if no one sees it, God sees it and we will answer to HIM on Judgement Day for our deeds - good or bad.

2. Honestly, I wouldn't feel right stealing from someone. Because....it's just wrong and I wouldn't want anyone stealing from me. We've had our house burglarized before and I've even had my creative work stolen from me and placed in a newspaper (after they stripped my name and copyright off of it).

3. I really don't want what is NOT actually mine. That can mean money that's not mine, products in a store that aren't mine or even a spouse that's not mine. If you take what is not rightfully yours, you will NEVER enjoy it. NEVER.

So....theft is not in the equation for me. We're going into some very perilous times, and many of us are already there. Many people will be asking the Lord for help. I believe He may be more inclined to help an honest person than He will a thief.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KJV

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Nope, never cheated on self checkout. I learned right from wrong as a kid, and it's stuck with me from that time on...if I forgot to scan something and found out when I got to the car, I'd go back in and pay for it.

As someone who works for accounting, shrinkage is factored in to the cost of buying ever single product you purchase. You aren't "sticking it to the man" when grocery prices creep up. It is an indirect cost, but one that is accounted for by passing on higher prices to you. You lose either way.

the key point here is matching up the weights of discounted meat and the high quality meat as close as possible or you risk setting off the weight check during self checkout

Just hold your fingers over the barcode, pretend to scan it, and put it in your cart.

YOU are the parasite on society and probably one of those card carrying EBT members who expects the govt. to feed, house, and clothe your low IQ a## while you do nothing but consume chicken tendies while playing your playstation in mom's basement.

I guess you expect the retail shop owner to pay rent, employees, insurance and spend their free time WORKING to find the best vendors who will supply in BULK (to get lower prices) and organize/maintain all of the inventory nice and tidy so your lazy a## can saunter over any time to pick up items at wholesale, IN OTHER WORDS, giving you this service for FREE! You are an absolute idiot of the highest level. Sorry if your super sipper gallon of Mt. Dew costs a full fitty cent!

YOU go out and find your own goods at a price you can afford if you can! But wait, you can't afford it since you do NOTHING but suck the govt. tit. and don't realize when people offer a service they deserve to be paid for it. Don't even claim you hold a job because if you had a job, you could not be so stupid to think the things you posted since having a job, you would not work for FREE and understanding this basic concept, you would understand retailers should not work for free either!
