What are you thinking...right now?(Ochenta y Seis)

Getting in some expensive legal trouble for trying to save a few bucks isn't rational. My morals say it's OK though.

The big giant conglomerate whose owner is a big contributor to Trump and GOP causes - that Home Depot?

Anybody who supports Trump with votes or donations doesn't seem to have any morality problems with his grifting and stealing as a normal way of doing business, so one way of looking at it is that anyone who does the same to them is merely an agent of karma. And it's not like shrinkage will force the giant corporation into bankruptcy or anything - accounting just deducts shrinkage from taxable income, or some such accounting thing. Of course that could just be considered a justification for theft from Home Depot's point of view.

And it wouldn't be doing anything that employees, administrators, and vendors aren't already doing themselves on a much larger scale than an individual. Things fall off the truck all the time.

I wasn’t trained to use that complex machine and I’ve already spent over $100. Sorry I missed the charcoal and a few batteries is my stance

Got a lot of random stuff done today. Decorating the back porch was the best thing I did….

Anyone know where I can get a coupon code for Temu?

I personally would not steal whether I agreed with the business's ownership, or their morals or not. But, I also wouldn't judge others who do it, I'm certainly not perfect.

i might know a guy, give me a minute...

A long time ago when I was moving into my first solo apartment, I needed to buy rugs. It was a requirement that you had to put rugs down in all three rooms because the floors were really nice.

I went to Home Depot and bought a cheap rug for my bedroom, and a cheap runner for the hallway. Then I saw they had this beautiful Mohawk Berber rug that was on sale. It was out of my price range, but my mom told me I should get it, and that they last forever. It was on sale from $1,500 to $600. So I decided to buy it on a credit card.

I went to the counter and checked out and kind of wasn’t really paying attention. I was like “wait, how much?” as I was waking out. I looked at the receipt and it was less than $300 total. She charged me $60 for the rug.

I went back and forth. Should I go in and be honest? Should I just pretend I didn’t notice? Would I get the cashier in trouble if I called out her mistake? Probably.

And that’s how I justified it. I didn’t want to get her in trouble and this is a big chain store, that I have zero affection or appreciation for. They kill small stores and rake in billions. Fuck it. Score.

It’s the only time I have ever done something like that. Normally, even when people have given me the wrong change, I do the right thing. But I have no regrets or remorse for it.

And I still have the rug almost 20 years later.

Beat me to it.
