The Biggest Complainers are the Worst Culprits

Everyone is complaining about prices—gas prices, car prices, grocery prices, and grocery prices and grocery prices…. While gas prices are helping to drive up the grocery prices, an ongoing problem is shoplifters.

It seems the same people who complain the loudest about the prices are the same people who are pushing them up. We pay for our food, and while we are at it we also pay for theirs with the higher prices caused by the fact they think they are better than the rest of us, so we just need to let them take what they want.

Yes, I’m talking to you .. lady with the slim fast hidden in the bag of rice cakes you exchanged, and you…man who just walked out with steaks stuffed down your pants, and you…over there in the corner snacking on the Jelly Bellies. You don’t get to have a snack while you shop. You haven’t paid for that!! If you want a sample, just ask! Then you won’t be stealing. Oh, and let’s not forget the guy getting a bag of chicken wings, eating them and leaving the bones in the bathroom. GROSS!!

These people are the same people who go through the lines, and complain to the cashiers about the prices—as if they can change it. It makes the cashiers uncomfortable, and basically makes for a very awkward moment. Cut them some slack. They can’t do anything about it, and if you are one of these folks, look in the mirror before you complain about prices.
