So its been awhile since i've written anything on here, about 7 months to be exact. the truth of the matter is that i forgot my password, and wasnt exactly sure how to recover it. but anyways, i've been doing pretty great these past few months. my doctor put me on prozac, and it is absolutely a wonder drug. i've never felt better in my life. and also, i think i might have finally found a birth control that i can tolerate. so yayyy.
however, im not looking forward to starting back to school in 3 days. nope, not one bit. i should have a really tough schedule this year. it'll look something like this: dual enrollment for speech and psychology either 2 or 3 days a week...not sure yet. then photography, spanish 4, honors english, ap history, algebra 2 with trig, chemistry, and math tutoring. hopefully i'll make it out alive ahaha.
but anyways, i wanted to address a topic thats been on my mind alot lately. stealing.
i know its bad, and its wrong, and its part of the reason that prices are so high...but that doesnt stop me from doing it. it started out with taking little things that i didnt wanna buy...like condoms. well, in the past year i've added quite a bit to the list. lets see. eye make up. foundation. fake nails. hair color. jewelry. wine. mascara. make up remover. face wash. yankee candles. a tervis tumbler. clothes. bras. shoes. a foldable tote. books. a penis shaped cake pan. in fact, i think my stealing is getting pretty serious. and it all stems from the fact that i just dont want to pay for these things. its not that i cant afford them or anything like that, its just that i'd rather have them for free. and also, probably adding to the fire, is the fact that i've never been caught. but honestly, i dont want to get caught because it would be on my record and thats something i just dont need. well you say, if it would upset you to have stealing on your record..then dont do it! well im afraid its not that easy. i mean, who wants to pay $4.50 for face wash or $8 for mascara. the prices are ridiculous. and actually, i've found a little perk to this stealing thing. when i steal a product and take it home and try it, i often find that the product sucks. like these pajama pants im wearing right now. if i'd bought these and paid $7 for them, i wouldve been pretty pissed off because they are really itchy. and like the mascara i stole the other day.. it was only $2.50 but it is super crappy. once again, i wouldve been pissed.
its just something for people to think about... trying things for "free"
another example... the face wash that was $4.50... i love it. now i actually plan to buy it. but if i hadnt stolen it... i never would have paid that much for it.
and another thing ive discovered is that stores dont care about stealing nearly as much as they'd like you to believe. walmart claims that they have over 200 cameras in their store... but what they dont mention is how many of those are fake. and also, they have one person watching those tapes. lets say they have 50 real cameras...how many people do you know that can have their eyes on 50 images at once. see...exactly. you dont know anybody.
and they also claim that they have 2 plain clothes security, or "secret shoppers". well, they do. but what happens when one of those people goes to the bathroom, or on break. yeah, then they have one person to watch everybody in the store. and also, what kind of dumbass steals something when they know somebody is looking. now supposedly these secret shoppers are stealthy and discreet. well, how many times have you seen someone that looked perfectly normal lurking around wal mart acting like a cia agent.... yeah, you havent. im not saying these people dont exist, but what i am saying is that the secret shoppers are more concerned with looking normal and not giving themselves away. if i had to guess i'd say that these people mainly target the cosmetics section, the electronics and the clothing departments.... now of course those are the departments you want to steal from. so the solution is simple. take the item you want to steal out of those departments. i suggest somewhere like the lawn and garden aisle or the rugs. there usually isnt anybody on those aisles.. and there are very few cameras around there.
but enough of my shoplifting shenanagans... the end.
