I used to work for Asda who is owned by Walmart and work in the same way. I actually used to work in stock control. If the numbers on the computer did not add up with the numbers of the product we actually owned then I would have to go searching for it. If i could not find it I would have to knock it off which would reflect badly on my work. 

Also when things are stolen and the numbers have to be knocked off then its called shrink, the more shrink you have on your individual store then lower your bonus will be and the budget for things like the Christmas party or something nice in the staff cafe. Things like the Christmas Party does not sound important but for some people it can be the highlight of their year. 

If everyone thought it was okay to steal a £4 tube of lipstick or something small then the more stock that store has to knock off. In my store the shrink got so bad that all the staff had to line up and be frisked before leaving the store.   

Also another thing is it is normal practice for a store to let you think you keep on getting away with stealing from them so they can collect evidence to prosecute you for a bigger sentence so its really not worth it. 

I actually buy my liptick from Superdrug, their £1 selection is fantastic, I wore a purple lipstick and it stayed on all through a night out! 

The shrink at my store was so bad that we had inventory every couple months. Instead of a couple times in a year.

Every employee had to show what was in their pockets and each compartment of their purse, wallet, or shopping bag before exiting the store, even for lunch. If you had leftovers from lunch you were taking home with you, you had to open the bag up and show the closing manager everything inside. She had to do the same thing with you.

And our shrink didn’t result in loss of bonuses or Christmas parties. It resulted in cuts to payroll, which means deliberate understaffing and loss of hours. If the store doesn’t make goal because the shrink is too high, they’ll cut from payroll until they get their money back. Corporate always gets their money back.

So yes, it does have an effect on the employee when you steal “a tube of lipstick from Walmart.” Someone somewhere was instructed to deter you from stealing that lipstick. They were told they were responsible for that lipstick. When you take that lipstick, they don’t really care about finding you and getting it back. They care about holding someone responsible and getting their money back. If getting their money back means taking someone down to part-time (which can mean a total loss in benefits, either Company wise or State wise) or demoting them or transferring them or firing them entirely, they’ll do that. If it means closing a store that’s reporting loss too regularly, they’ll do that. Their main priority is getting their money back.

The company will always get their money back.

So there you have it folks. If you think you are okay hitting the big businesses when stealing then you are wrong. You are making other people pay for your crime. Or are you just that selfish that you don’t care?

The birth of a beautiful friendship.

Aaron Clarey isn’t really a Mad Max fan.

This is pretty clear already given that his viral rant about Fury Road doesn’t betray much knowledge of the franchise at all—he doesn’t seem aware that “the director of Fury Road” he reviles is, in fact, George Miller, the director of the entire Mad Max franchise. He calls one of the most iconic Australian cultural exports of all time a “piece of American culture.” He boldly states “No one barks orders to Max!” when, in fact, all three previous Mad Max films feature Max taking orders from someone (Roger Ward’s Captain Fifi in Mad Max, Michael Preston’s Papagallo in The Road Warrior, Tina Turner’s Auntie Entity in Beyond Thunderdome).

But the single biggest sign Clarey doesn’t know the first damn thing about what George Miller or Mad Max is his triumphalist line: “When the shit hits the fan, it will be men like Mad Max who will be in charge.”

Mad Max isn’t in charge of anything throughout the Mad Max film franchise. Max is emphatically not the archetype of the badass hero who gets the girl, gets the crown, and rules as a patriarch over society as is his due. He’s a fucked-up loner who isn’t fit to live among civilized people; who begins each film alone, wounded, broken, and who ends each film in the same state or worse.
[…]
All the Mad Max films have had tragic endings, and if you don’t grasp that this is the tragedy at the heart of Mad Max (and the gritty Westerns and samurai films Mad Max emulates) then you don’t get Mad Max. If you think Max has an awesome life and we’re supposed to wish we were him, you really don’t get Mad Max.

Age that women first noticed men were looking at them sexually

by Teelo888

Girls don’t get childhood. They get girlhood.

Because I don’t want to see any comments after this reblog on how it’s perfectly normal for boys to start noticing girls when they’re all going through puberty – this graph is based on women’s responses to an /r/AskReddit thread that specifically mention grown, adult men. 

I remember doing a shift at my work experience placement in a bookstore and some grown man (he was starting to grey around the beard) came up to me while I was stocking the shelves. He was asking if I always worked in the History section and I said no, I stock all over the store (duh?) and suddenly went from zero to a hundred by asking “What time do you get off work? Can I take you for coffee?” 

The feeling was instantaneous - hot and cold at the same time. Your stomach curdles and chills while your skin heats and feels like it’s melting away. My whole face turned red and all I wanted to do was vomit.  “I am fourteen years old.”

He looked embarrassed as hell.

… And yet …

“What? No, you can’t be.”

“… BUT I AM. I AM FOURTEEN YEARS OLD.”

“Bullshit, where’s your ID?”

“SIR, the only ID she has is from her JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.”  My (male) manager had walked up behind me (he later said he heard me say my age the first time around and came running over). “She’s a minor. She doesn’t have to show you anything. Can I help you with something? Do you need help with a purchase?”

The word ‘minor’ set this guy off and he started ranting about how I was leading him on. Another customer (probably in his 20s) overheard it all, looked at me and back at the guy, obviously determined that I was not in my twenties, sneered and went “Gross, dude” - which, yeah, but that set this creep off even more. My manager and another male employee ended up walking him out.

I will fucking love that manager until the end of days for stepping in like that - but unfortunately nothing will take away that cold, gut wrenching feeling a young girl gets hit on by a man twice her age.

I was fourteen, in the Bahamas on vacation, and a full-grown man tried to lure me away from the table where I was waiting for my mother who was in the washroom.  I was timid and shy and had absolutely no idea what his motives were, but in retrospect, best case scenario, he wanted me to have sex with him.  Don’t want to think about the worst case scenario.  I looked mature for my age, but he ASKED ME MY AGE AND I TOLD HIM AND HE CONTINUED TO PURSUE IT.

Thank the fucking lord my mother returned a minute later and had a fucking meltdown when she saw what was going on.  

If men want to complain about how they’re always seen as predators, this  graph is  a good fucking example of why most women do.  I guarantee you that most women have one or two stories like this.

I went to a teens-and-twenties church youth group in high school. (Can I just say? This is the STUPIDEST AGE RANGE EVER to have a mixed group in) I was asked out by 1. 28 year old. 2. 34 year old. 

When I was 14. Yeah I was a “developed” girl, with a “womanly figure” but godDAMMIT look at my FACE I was a baby for christs’ sake. 

But before that, I got wolf-whistled at by a grown man on a motorcycle as I was walking to my friend’s house for a sleepover in my shorts, tube top and a button down shirt when I was NINE YEARS OLD. 

So…yeah. Stories like that. 

Back during my second anime convention a friend of mine and I went to Wendy’s because we were hungry. We were both rather curvaceous, and were dressed in what some may call revealing (even though it was only a skirt and shirt) and makeup. We even had wigs on- and we were 15. We are walking back into the hotel, and this guy stops me as he is walking out- he was apparently the DJ for the rave the previous night.

“You are really beautiful.”
“Thanks!”
“No, I mean, REALLY beautiful.”
“Ha.. Thanks.”
“Seriously- did you go to the con? Why didn’t I see you?”
At this point I no longer want this conversation- I never did- and I’m trying to walk away.
“Haha, I don’t know!”
“Uh, hey, do you want to like, get some drinks tonight or something?”

And I’m just stuck there. What the hell am I supposed to do? I was a chubby little 15 year old. I’m sitting there blubbering, and LUCKILY my friend has a better sense of how to help and speaks up.

“She’s 15, so she can’t.” She is pulling me away while I’m about to cry.
“What? Really? No, you’re lying.”
“Nope, we are both 15 and we are leaving now.”
He called after us but I don’t know what he said because I was too freaked out. As soon as we got to the hotel room I sat on the floor and just cried. This man had to be in his mid-30s, and the only reason I got out of that situation was because of another 15 year old.

Don’t do this to girls of any age- it is really creepy in general.

There is real evil in this world, you can’t legislate it away, you can’t ignore it away, and you can’t wish it away, evil is evil and the only thing evil understands is good people with the means to eradicate its very existence. This is f***ing despicable.
