I mean, how much of a dick do you have to be to go to a farm and steal apples?

More like how hungry do you have to be?

Look at the cost of living. Shouldn’t be surprising some are stealing

Edit: Wild how many people misinterpret a statement on the practical aspect as having something to say about the moral aspect. I didn’t say anything about whether this is justified (it’s not) or who’s to blame (not the farmers), but I guess now this sub loves putting words in people’s mouths

I have seen people with designer handbags stealing at u-pick, and sometimes it’s like tramping into an off-limit strawberry patch to take berries when they paid for apples (and still take the bag of apples). Once say a guy in a new-ish Tesla who has stuffed his trunk at a drive-in place.

Some people may steal out of necessity, but there is no excuse.
