I work in a bookstore and it's disgusting how far people will go when they feel entitled to do so or when they feel like they can get away with doing so. It's against our policy to kick people out because we attempt to create a comfortable but not like a library feel to our stores and there are people who come in on a daily basis from open to close just to start and finish reading books with no intent on paying for them. These are the same people that will damage a book just so that they can demand a discount.
Why is it that people don't understand that it took creative minds to get these products into the stores and that when you get something for less than it's worth you insult all the effort that went into creating their book or that deepfryer and you steal from the paychecks of those who work at the store because there's less money going around and less of an oppurtunity for more hours/raises.
Of all the things life has taught me I couldn't believe in the idea that nothing is free more firmly than I do now. It might not be in as mystical a manner as you'd expect but when you attempt to get over and harm other people in the process - you'll be forced to pay fhe difference anyway.
