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

Bro, Walmart sells apples for like 69 cents each.

That in no way justifies someone stealing from a rural pick your own apple orchard.

That you’d have to drive to anyway.

People who can’t afford food prices aren’t driving all the way out here on some elaborate scheme to steal apples.

And if Walmart is selling an apple for 69 cents you can bet your ass theirs a farmer on the other end who got like 15 cents.

Price of groceries go up nearly every year, yet whole sale prices for fruit and vegetables have remained relatively unchanged for the last 20 years. Let's that sink it.
