I am not advocating shoplifting, but we all did something dumb as a kid. What is your story?
Me, I was 2 years old and at Tim Hortons with my mother and a family friend. This was almost 50 years ago and Tim Hortons still had servers back then, so there was a cutout in the counter for them to go in and out. The donuts are in racks behind the counter. I had had a chocolate donut paid for by my mother, and apparently I decided I wanted another, and I was so little I nipped behind the counter when nobody was there, helped myself to another, and was only discovered when my mother noticed me polishing off a different donut. She did pay for it and everyone laughed, I was just little and it was funny. Sadly the quality of Tim Hortons donuts has gone way downhill over the intervening years, as older Canadians know.
It’s interesting seeing it from the admin side. Here, at least, they’re largely just trying to stay out of trouble. When lawyers or police come knocking at the door, it’s already too late, and we’re not always sure where that line is.
A couple things we absolutely know will cause trouble. I don’t know if/where that line would be with shoplifting.
And of course the mods have their own opinions.
