FIRED !! for gross misconduct (weed related)

Just get a new job. Geez, not hard to figure out. No sense dwelling on mistakes you made, trying to figure out how you can take them to court and get more money.

Move on in life and next time be smarter about what you talk about.

This topic about stealing, stealing is stealing. Just because you think a big company can afford to lose $2 because you're too cheap and ignorant to buy it yourself doesn't mean it goes unnoticed.

Wal-Mart loses about $200,000 a year in thefts. If everyone thought like Orange Floyd no one would be able to stay in business.

Ahh... that reminds me of my time working at K-mart back when I was a wee child. I'l always swing by the food dept and grab something to eat every day for lunch. I did this regularly for two years... I'd have felt much worse about that if the manager wasn't a dick. He would yell at me for not staying near the register in electronics, and would then later yell at me for not organizing/cleaning the store. I'm not two people... that fat bastard.

start sellin the weed to keep you goin til you have a job
after all, thats more important than the weed at the moment
with no job you cnt buy any
thats why you need one

sorry about losin your job to bro, harsh shit

$2 to fabricate a pair of pants. Do you have any idea how much it costs to market, ship and stock said pants? Nope I didn't think so.
A big corporation is still a group of individuals that work together.

You're NEVER stealing from the coprorate big-wigs. You're stealing from the guy who stocks the shelves and the lady who checks you out. Like I said, the shareholders are gonna see a return on thier investment. If it involves cutting jobs or not.

Don't be a dick and steal.

FYI, when you are shipping 5 million pants for 5 hundred thousand dollars, the cost is negligible, and stock the pants you say...how much does tammy get paid?? $7.00 to stock the shelf, that seems pretty dam cheap...

There's also storage for holding stock. Paying to have inventory done. Power and other utilities to house the products. Supplies to present the items (shelves and whotnot). There's also the equitment used to sale the items such as cash registers, conveyor belts at the checkout. Shopping carts. Cleaning supplies. I could go on, but you get the point.

you're right about the shipping, but it's still not free.

The point is that stealing is stealing no matter if it's from walmart or Uncle Joes baitshop. The only way I could see someone not understanding this is if it's some 15 yr old douchebag, or someone will mental disabilities.

Also, I don't condone paying people less that what they're do for a hard days work, but if Tammy is making $7 an hour, she should have thought twice about dropping out of highschool. GED isn't sounding too good anymore is it.

Have you ever managed a retail store? Hav you ever looked at the holyshit markups that companies place on the items. Fuck I know stealing is wrong. But I say fuck the waltons anyway. And i'm an accountant, so I know all about costs bro. And then a douchbag is totally up to interpretation

So you're denying that Walmart will make up for it's loss by taking it out on the innocent? If you can honestly condone what this little sh*t did, then I don't think I could ever respect you an ounce.

I don't like walmart so don't get me wrong about them. I know they markup stuff and swindle the empoyees, but stealing only makes the situation worse. If you're an actual accountant and you think that stealing from walmart doesn't hurt the other employees, then I'm gonna have to question where you got your degree from.

Yeah man, your right.

Anyone disagree? Take a business course or two, you'll see. I ABSOLUTELY do not agree with stealing. But when you do steal from a big cooperation, you are not affecting the big, middle, or little guy's on the spectrum. Did you know that most company's lose more themselves, e.g grocery stores throwing out bread because it's a day old, then they lose from theft?

As the guy before said, your taking a little over two dollars from them, product depending. Yes there is other costs, but they're making way more profit of those pants then their even close to being worth. These cooperations are stealing from us, not the other way around. I don't steal, I don't agree with stealing... just pointing out, you certainly aren't hurting anyone. It's just another misconception fed to you by who? I hate to say it... but the Man.(:hippy: lol)

Same as food, and alcohol... gah, the price of alcohol pisses me off so much. We grow our food, we take our water. When you actually know how greedy these people are, it hits you in the face.

Cooperation's are generally corrupt. They do not care about the consumer, they care about the influx of money they are receiving. Do a little research on Wall mart, do a little research on the economy... Expand your mind people.

You tell me stealing is wrong? Well someone should share that with the cooperations. Or at least if people weren't so closed minded and uninformed, they would realize how screwed over their getting.

The cost of life is way, way more than it should be. Period.

Peace to all, :rastasmoke: :thumbsup:
