Price Changing Same As Stealing?

[flaflo]

So I was at a discount store and saw nice pair of slacks I saw on clearance for $59 (which I thought was too much) so I took another clearance sticker off of something else that was $15 and switched them. ( I have done this before no problem, my girlfriend showed me) But this time when I went to go check out the old lady said she needed to price check the slacks. I then said please hold these items I have to to my car to get my wallet. But I just drove away. Should I have anything to worry about, and is this as bad as stealing? Should I not go back there anymore? thanks im paranoid from too much chronic.

Yes it's stealing you fool, by committing that act you're attempting to steal $45 from that the business that's not rightfully yours. If you can't pay what it costs it's not yours to have...

Wtf happened to morals for people to understand how simple this concept really is. I hope you get caught next time.

Quick answer: You are flat out stealing. Also, if you get caught, it's considered burglary if you don't have enough money on your person to pay the original price.

As if you have to ask....

Stealing, Cheating, Lying- same thing. Your girlfriend showed you. Story of Adam and Eve?

Pardon me. I assume, rather, that you are a troll. My apologies. Good luck with the law degree.

I have a real question.. There is a clearance item at a store for 75% off. You take the item to the register and it rings correctly at the discounted price. The clerk then tells you that the item is on clearance and proceeds to discount it an additional 75% off. Would you inform the clerk that the clearance discount has already been applied? Do you consider that there may be repercussions for the clerk? Does the $ amount matter to you? This happened to me a few weeks ago.

The trolls employed what the M.I.T. professor Judith Donath calls a "pseudo-naïve" tactic, asking stupid questions and seeing who would rise to the bait. The game was to find out who would see through this stereotypical newbie behavior, and who would fall for it. As one guide to trolldom puts it, "If you don't fall for the joke, you get to be in on it."

cool so he is a troll, who cares. me answering this thread doesnt detract anything from me but 10 seconds of my time. if he likes to waste his energy and time on this fine.
