^ Yep. People think that if its from a big chain nobody cares and its just 'sticking it to the man' but then the people working in that chain at store level are just the same as those working in a local shop, they're not the CEOs who aren't affected by a few quid going missing. I sympathise with people who feel the need to steal but I would still report it. And the vast majority of shoplifting is by people who want to profit from selling it on or of things they don't need but don't want to pay for, its not of necessity
