People who steal from their own kind are the lowest of the low, whether it is the small business

owner or the ordinary person.

That also includes knowingly cheating the girl/guy at the checkout at Lotus, Big C etc.

So, its OK to steal things from 7/11, but not OK to steal things from a mom&pop shop ?

Explain, please...

If ie, a lawyer who had taken a huge fee from you for a few minutes of his time, was walking in front of you and dropped his wallet accidently, would you pick it up and give it back to him? I wouldn't.

Isn't theft, theft? 

 

Or is it okay to steal an expensive car, but not okay to steal an economy car? 

 

It's okay to mug and steal from a wealthy person but not okay to mug and steal from a commoner? 

 

What sort of mind-warped thinking is this? 

"Isn't theft, theft?" depends on what way you look at it. If mugging someone means using violence it most certainly is not OK, and neither is stealing from someone because they are wealthy, that someone could be a sportsman or movie star who was brought up as working class.

But some capitalist who got rich on the back of the working class, if you can do yourself a turn, fine, but never use any violence or vandalism, or anything that will harm ordinary people.

No, it is not OK to steal things from anyone who has not stolen from you or done you a bad turn.

It seems you cannot get the gist of what I am trying to say.

[Lacessit]

As long as I am getting my correct change, I'd stay out of it.

Short - term thinking - if the business goes broke because 1/ the cashier is stealing 2/ the owner isn't competent enough to realise it, the thief will lose their job anyway.

Not sure what that means, but however you slice it, you are still splitting hairs on theft. You are making a case for a tiered reasoning for theft that in certain circumstances, it's an acceptable practice. 

 

Is that like a defense for rape saying she was hot and therefore asking for it? 

 

In civilized societies, we live by the rule of law. I'm not aware of any law anywhere that differentiates between victims in theft cases, whereby the thief is considered innocent according to the status of the individual. 

There is no "justifiable theft." 

 

I gather you are not a very wealthy or financially successful individual or you would not be trying to champion a morally indefensible position.

You are the one who doesn't get it. 

We don't live in an eye for an eye legal or moral system. 

 

Not sure what a "bad turn" might be, but it's irrelevant. If someone steals from you, that doesn't make your thevery against him acceptable. Or legal. 

 

If I own a big company and I catch you stealing and fire you, does that now give you the clearance to slash my car tires and break out all my windows? What system do you think the world lives by?

I think he lumps him in with ..."some capitalist who got rich on the back of the working class," which, in his worldview, is a person ripe to be stolen from.

Or some kid that studied at School and did his homework and furthered his education and became successful and who now provides a service that is expensive for those that didnt do too well in school and so its OK to steal from him ?

Whether my reasoning was is right or wrong. I feel for the employees of these multinational corporations that pay their employees a pittance. I had no intention of getting involved other than to post here about it.  

is this what they call 'Tips' in the US?     

 

anyways, this activity all goes in hand (hand in pocket) when the masses all live in a cash economy

 

 

no matter what I buy (and method) I always ask for Receipt - and will wat for as long as it takes, to get it

You would steal someones money because you thought that the service that they provided to you was too expensive ?

   

[ChiangMaiLightning2143]

More reason for Fast Food outlets to invest in machines.

This may be what he was told to do by the manager or owner; similar to skimming.

Can you not grasp the fact that if he done me, I will do him. I should have said I would not have done that if he was an employee, but if he was the boss, and his charges were way over the top as is often the case with lawyers.

I'm only really saying that if someone gives me a raw deal and I get the chance for a little retribution then I will take it.

I'd encourage the employees to do this to the likes of McD's, BK and KFC. Huge multinationals making money off the back of hard working employees on 310B/day.

 

Especially on the soda stream drinks that cost virtually nothing to pour, are sold on huge mark ups and aren't, in my previous experience working for a large PepsiCo outlet in the UK, monitored for stock 'losses'.

Can’t tell you how many guys I saw found guilty and went to prison that share your advice and attitude. Rationalizing theft does not make it anything other than theft. “Take from the man” was the common prison phrase. And whenever you steal you lose a piece of yourself and most times will eventually get caught.  Advising or encouraging others to steal is wrong no matter what reasons you come up with to justify your actions.

The Lawyer wouldnt be "doing" you though , he would be charging you for services provided .

  If you have a query about the cost of the service provided , you should address that issue and not resort to stealing

[observer90210]

An employee once made me pay at KFC for using the Pepsi fountain for 1 drink. Fine. But she did not include the amount on the bill, made me pay 50 THB off the counter, with no bill for the drink.  Is this normal practice ?

Sorry Buddy, we will have to agree to disagree, the debate with you on this subject is over.

you really don't know anything. you've made an observation and now your making a conclusion based on what?  maybe the employee is correcting the till? more importantly get a life, you sound like a loser.  

Loser huh? Get a life!

 

Both times I paid the correct money, and both times he rang up the incorrect lower price. I didn't name the outlet, or the actual cost of the drink so as to avoid identification. You however have called me a "loser" and "to get a life" because he may been correcting the till. Do you really think that? Let's now put it to the test then. Because of you I will now call the store manager and tell them directly. If he is still there next week, well you are right. If not, then I'll definitely let you know,

Had some ripoff experience in Phuket at a 7/11. They charged me for some shopping and i was really watching, the machine said something else then she was mentioning, so i protested. Suddenly the machine had broken down and they couldnt recall it anymore, they said. I protested more and all at a sudden, i got the money back, which i missed, already in the bra from the woman !!! Stay alerte !!

[Golden Triangle]

Guy I know had a bakery here, he had a CCTV camera directly above the till/cash register, they still caught a waitress helping herself out of the till, thick as pig poo some of them ?

But not for free, obviously ?

Unless the company is ruled by a Thai-Chinese family who watch every satang and trust absolutely no-one.

Really,??? so only thai chinese run companies are smart enough to prevent employees stealing.
