  • Obviously I’m not a credible source but from first hand experience working at a red circle retail store this is absolutely true. I remember many times people swapping barcodes on expensive lego sets at self checkout. We’d get told on the radio by AP to either let them go or intervene (act like the machine was busted). I was naive but I should have realized sooner it wasn’t my fucking job to be in such a situatuon but I wanted approval I guess. We’d hold the machine and reprint the receipt. If you hit $1000 after multiole trips, then cops would be waiting outside or sometimes AP got into altercations if the thief tried to flee before the cops arrived.

    They’d almost always let you get away with it on the first offense. Only times I remember them stopping theft was teenagers to give them a scare.




  • I’m no expert so take what I say with a grain of salt.

    It’s not a perfect system for the same reason some people over-eat and some don’t eat at all. Your lifestyle could also affect it.

    If you are frequently thirsty and no amount of water is quenching your thirst, you might not have enough electrolytes to retain the water causing you to always be thirsty. Apart from gatorade or pedialyte, coconut water is also high in electrolytes…or maybe you have diabetes.

    Again, I’m no doctor and I may be talking out my ass and obviously I don’t know you or your lifestyle. Just what I remember reading when I had issues drinking water.

    If you don’t like yourself it’s because you aren’t your type but you are definitely someone else’s type. This doesn’t mean there isn’t room for self improvement to increase your chances of falling in someone’s range.

    Just being confident about who you are rather putting yourself down goes along way. Though you could argue that being a pessimist is part of your personality but the only people you will attract will be those trying to fix you.
