It’s security theater. They have a whole department, loss control, that watches the cameras and double checks the inventory counts to find thieves and track stuff, plus RFID detectors for high value stuff. Anything that slips through the cracks ends up either insured or a write off that their accountants can use to justify not paying corporate taxes.

So when you see the receipt checker, derisively say no and keep walking. And if they lay so much as a finger on you, file assault charges.

After all, if the corporations can abuse the system, so can you.

Time to let my troll off its leash.

The outcome of this situation is gonna vary based on OP’s age and gender. Hopefully school in this instance is college.

I already don’t understand why anyone would overpay for a “designer” anything - I know their reasoning, it’s just stupid though. So I extra can’t understand why anyone would buy an overpriced, analog product that goes out of it’s way to digitally track you. I mean my phone I get, but a bag? I can get a bag dirt cheap that won’t tell the company or cops where I am.

She’s a scapegoat. They arrested her to make a public example of her. Fuck those bastards, set her free.

I live in a blue state but that doesn’t mean I’d be justified in believing that I should sit it out. Even if that insane logic about not needing to was valid, there’s other shit on the ballot. And even if my vote for or abstaining against an uncontested incumbent is irrelevant, there’s still ballot measures that need to be understood.

Well fuck you GoFundMe.

The system will always protect itself.

The high powered ones are tethered right into the high voltage lines. Normal ones use standard 120V outlets. The rejects use AAA batteries.
