I got caught shoplifting

[RoseBiscuitll]

I really didn't know what topic to choose for this

I'm mortified, I got caught shoplifting in boots today, I was stealing baby milk and a facial moisturiser. I'm so ashamed of myself. It was in the city center aswell. They didn't call police but they took my details, took a picture and told me I can't return to the store again

Will this picture and my details go around to the other shops near by or will it just go to the other boots shops.

I can't believe I was stupid enough to do this! I'm so embarrassed and also feel really guiltily!

If a baby starves to death in this country that is 100% neglect and not financial when the government is paying for the babies milk

Have you ever been on benefits?

If benefits are enough to live on, then why are people going to food banks?

Surely we should close all the food banks since they're unnecessary and tell everyone to just try harder to not to be poor.

This is nonsense you tell yourself to make yourself feel better. It simply isn't reality.

I'm trying to work out if you're lacking critical thinking skills or being willfully obtuse.

You have no proof of that. You're stating opinions, please stop trying to dress them up as facts.

Oh. My. God.

Did you really just imply food banks are looked on as a lifestyle choice?

Surely the Dad can't just refuse to pay anything for their own child.

So baby milk costs on average £10 a tub you get £8.50 a week healthy start vouchers £25.60 a week child benefit. £333 a month child element of universal credit. So can someone please explain to me how when the government is literally paying for the babies food people on here are saying it's not neglect if a baby starves to death in this country

The depths some people will go to is astounding, isn't it?

She'll be along asking what's wrong with chickpeas mixed with chicken soup and lasagna sheets for dinner every night because it's still food.

Honestly, it's just blatantly wanting to punish people for daring to not have enough. Along with a desire for superiority over the feckless oiks, I suspect.

I was replying to someone saying food from a foodbank is not sustainable to live on. Which obviously it's not as its not meant to be it's for emergencies not to live on

The emergency being that you don't have enough money to live on. Because prices are high and benefits are low.

Sssh, don’t ruin the left wing narrative with rhe truth.

People on this thread honestly have no idea your all coming at me I guarantee you my income is lower then 99% of any of you which Is why I do know the reality and with careful budgeting it is manageable without stealing

I’m just embarassed for you and this left wing bullshit.

But benefits aren't their to replace jobs their, their to help at times of need if benefits get anymore generous working a minimum wage job will become very unappealing very fast

Of course it is, as said the op chooses to spunk 250 a month on a spare room. For her 6 month old baby, we all know her kid can share with her till 2 or 3. She says she’s working again when the kid turns one. The two bed is a choice. You can get a fuck ton of milk for an extra 250

Some of the food is out of date. Will you be happy eating gone off food everyday?

It may be past it's best before date it won't be past it's use by date as that's illegal

That’s unreadable.

Here;

But benefits aren’t there to replace jobs, they’re there to help at times of need.

This is just nonsense, we all know food banks do not just give out out of date food, I have no idea why you keep posting it.

Thankyou my English is shocking I missed a lot of school because I was in care I always get my there's and where's mixed up 🙈

I've seen it with my own eyes. Tins that are a year out of date.

@NasiDagang
I eat “gone off” food all the time and I’m doing fine for money. Stuff in tins is still perfect after it’s use by day. Yoghurts, fruit, veg, frozen stuff is all fine after it’s use by. What’s the problem? There isn’t anything wrong with it. I don’t chuck stuff out if I didn’t get round to using it in time.

What and you didn't think to report this

So what did you do? With this food bank with all the out of date food? Which one was it? I’m sure one of us has been there.
