    Aye, a valid TTTTT, and theft is theft. The value should be irrelevant imo.  Might seem trivial at first, but it's a slippery slope when one starts arguing that "theft is fine up to a certain level".

    If tired (feasible on nightshift tbf) then it's more likely to have been poor judgement rather than a mistake (especially when you know exactly how the machines work).  A reason in that instance, but not an excuse.

    Harsh, I know.

    ETA: a key underlying principle: what Sainsbury's would want to do to a caught shoplifter (putting the overstretched police thing aside)? I suspect it wouldn't be a mere slap on the wrist. It would be at least a store ban, and you need consistency.

    I lived on free ruby grapes and wafer thin ham for all my Asda working life.

    In Home Alone, the adults all fly business class while the kids are back in, to use the American term, "coach".  They justify this to themselves by saying that flying is an adventure for them anyway and it's not really remarked upon.  Clearly, this is by far the least concerning incident of child neglect in that series of films but worth noting anyway.

    Its fine, i mean theyre all just in a big tube of each others farts. Nobody's going anywhere.
