Remember everyone. If you see someone shoplifting from Walmart, no you didn't.

I feel like it depends. Stealing is morally wrong no matter what. But I'd probably act as if I saw nothing if someone just stole a sandwich or similar. I'm not sure I'll act the same if I see a teenage girl of a family that is obviously very well off steal things like makeup (that one literally bragged about it in front of her parents during a dinner where I was invited).

It's not "anti-theft".

It's just dumb **** criminals who can't handle being herded and being RIGHTLY LABLED as useless C***S

Until you get caught in a similar predicament without having stolen anything. Then you'll waste 10 minutes being humiliated by having your entire cart rechecked, all the while catching looks from everyone else checking out. Then you will be frustrated and might say something about it. But yes, they are all dumb criminals. You'll be the only innocent one who was ever humiliated in this way...
