Today I saw another thief in action: a man standing next to the soup kiosk at Safeway with bowl in hand shoveling soup into his mouth.  Unpaid for soup.  Why do people keep stealing things from stores?  Don’t they realize that the prices going up for products is in very part due to thieves?  If people want to sample the soups that’s one thing, but this was a shoveling eater.

There were no employees around to point it out, and when I got to a register he was gone. Doh!  I’m certain that this happens more often than I’d like to imagine, but I would rather pay less for groceries and not have this sort of thing go on.

OK, not exactly, but one of the contributing factors has got to be theft. Today as I was filling my gas tank I looked over to see teenagers taking turns tapping on the fuel selection button about twice a second as the tank filled. Fuel came streaming out, but the price stayed at zero. I need to call the gas station and alert them to the fact. I didn’t know what was going on until after I had filled mine up and was driving off.

Slick, but sick.
