Since then, Yvette’s pulled the same “trick” four times, although she insists she doesn’t see herself as a shoplifter and is “a goody goody” by nature: “I earn a reasonable amount in my senior position, drive an SUV, and live in a desirable postcode. Before my divorce, our girls attended private school.”
This kind of ÜberKarens are the reason we can’t get nice stuff. Actions of people like her will be used to crack down on people that literally can’t afford basic needs and to reduce the privacy of everyone else, while making the service shittier at the same time.
And she has the gall of calling her self a “goody goody”. Bullshit, no one so self entitled is a nice person.
I don’t get her reasoning either. “I consider myself a goody goody because I’m an upper class asshole”
“It’s not a crime when we do it.” Meanwhile I guarantee you this person has turned their nose up at lower class people shopping in the same stores like they could only be there to steal shit.
“I’m rich therefore right” is a very seductive viewpoint
No way she’s upper class. Upper middle at best and that’s pushing it.
“I’m actually a really good person, I just commit crimes for fun, so it’s okay.”
People who don’t accept the consequences of their actions are the worst.
However, what if Yvette is not a real person and this is meant to stir up drama targeted at the middle class?
Articles this inflammatory in nature generally are highly fabricated. A notable example is the Ken Waks “I quit Google in two separate occasions because I’m that brilliant.”
Yeah, bitch decided to commit crime 5 times, boast about her career and wealth while pretend that is the feature of good people, then “teach” others how to commit the same crime. Bitch have no shame nor dignity. Makes me wonder what sort of white collar crime she also committed.

I’d let them, too. These prices are more criminal than her walking out with a trolley.
… and another thing where I was apparently a trendsetter
I worked for a major UK supermarket chain a few years ago - at a store big enough to have its own car park, but small enough that it had a small “garden centre” which was about 10m X 25m tacked on to the side of the store.
I was on the way back in after helping some elderly couple load their car up, when some dude says “can you give me a hand with these bags of soil?”, and I’m like “yeah no worries” and yeeted about nine or ten bags of soil into the back of his car.
I wander back in and the checkout supervisor was like “did he pay for those bags?” and I’m like “I’ve no idea mate” - turns out no, no he hadn’t.
It was a separate question to “did I care?” where the answer would have equally been something they didn’t want to hear.
Good. The problem falls at the hands of the companies making billions of dollars of excess profits, not on the individuals saving a tens or hundreds of dollars.
Yeah…until the companies making billions of dollars put blockers at the entrances that can’t fit a cart, and people checking receipts at the exit, just like what they did in Canada. Then everyone gets to be treated like a thief.
How do you get shopping to the car?
You have to go through the exit that you can only get to by going through a cashier station.
Where in canada? Cause all the major chains don’t check your bags or cart other than Costco…

I believe they were checking receipts in Toronto. But all the big chain grocery stores like Zerhs around me have all put in barriers at the front door.
Neat. Thanks for the info. Nothing like that (yet) in alberta except maybe more people watching self checkout
