Panel 1: "You wanna know what I do when I see people stealing food or baby formula?"

Panel 2: "Fucking nothing because I'm not a fucking asshole."

Awkward. Literally my job is as a manager that involves stopping people from stealing stuff

Yes.. Capitalism takes a toll on all of us. I understand also your position. But from my position, I would rather not tell you if I saw people shoplifting... Which I also think you understand.

So if you bust me, at least we can get on with the capitalist program we are both stuck in with a tad more understanding and kindness towards each other.

Well if you do see someone shoplifting, yeah it's not your responsibility or expectation to tell someone! Unless it's a mom & pop, they can afford some shrink just fine, and that is a much bigger deal to someone risking so much for such seemingly little things.
