What the hell is wrong with all of you? The fact of the matter is he knowingly took what did not belong to him, which is stealing.

He didn't fucking take it though.  It was handed to him by a representative by Wal Mart.  It's her fucking problem because she fucked up.

Hello, and welcome to pointless arguing. Today, we will not be exploring the boundaries of morality or progress, but rather simply debating the way in which terms are defined. We could, in order to actually accomplish something, define stealing, and work from there to decide whether or not Mr. Ho's actions were, in fact, acts of theivery, or we could simlpy shout contradicting statements at each other with the hope of defeating the other party.

Remember the part where I said not to bother trying to fight me on this cause you have no idea what you're talking about?  Yeah.  You have no idea what you're talking about.

CrAz3D, please stop.  You really don't know what you're talking about.

You can't even back up your position, how are you telling me to stop arguing?

I'm 18, woo me!!

I don't even have an opinion and I'm telling you to stop arguing! =)

I can back up my position.  I'm a fucking cashier.  I know the rules.  Stop fighting.

But you can't explain how it is theft when you hand it to him.

It doesn't make sense to arrest someone for stealing when they didn't actually take anything.  What law might it be that says they are stealing when you (on behalf of Wal Mart) hand him money?

I've explained it. Twice.  You're just being a douche.

Here's how it works.

Say you have $20.  You buy something for $15.  You get $5 change.  Value is preserved, everyone is fine.
Again, you have $20.  You buy something for $25.  You get $5 change.  You don't notice.  It's totally an accident.  You are taking $10 that does not belong to you.  Theft.  The cashier gets written up.
Again, $20.  You buy something for $10.  You get $40 change.  You notice but don't say anything.  You are taking $50 that does not belong to you.  Theft.  The cashier gets fired.

I don't know how to make it simpler.  Leaving a store with more value than you entered with is THEFT.

Q_Q.

Madden '08 is freaking badass.

[CrAz3D]

That still doesn't make sense.

criminal taking of the property or services of another without consent

Without consent.  The cashier gave consent for the taking, be it purposeful or not.


Google it.  I'm pretty sure most of what you find will say that it is unethical to keep it, but not illegal.
