Ok, you really don’t know what you are talking about.

Look, you just don’t understand statistics. I’m not saying that steal a few sodas ($3000 worth in this case) and any restaurant is going to have to close. I’m saying that theft increases the cost of doing business and that some restaurants will be unsuccessful because that factor pushes them over the edge.
Yeah, so you are saying there is some point between 0$ and 50000$ where a restaurant would shut up shop? So therefore, in some amount of restaurants, theft takes them over the boundary from “worth running” to “not worth running”, and then the owner and the employees lose their livelihood. Keep trying to contort the…
Yeah, it might, statistically. I’m not saying stealing three grand from any shop will shutter it, but petty theft like this increases the cost of business, so some shops which otherwise would be profitable shut down. You might say the same thing about stealing from a person “They aren’t going to notice if I just steal…
Yeah no, he wasn’t giving to the poor. He was giving free refills to people who had money to buy the damm food. If you can’t afford a soda there’s free water. But if you can afford the food i’m sure you can afford the drink.Please don’t make this guy some kind of crusader for the down trodden.
Starbucks are owned and operated by Starbucks. You were giving away them property of a large corporation with known, publically filed and published profits.
Little inefficiencies like this harmless theft add up to some percentage of restaurants no longer being profitable. In which case, the owner and the employees are out of a job. Also, the owner isn’t always some multi millionaire who won’t even notice, It’s often a franchise owned by some guy whose livelihood depends…
IHOP® competes in the family dining segment of the restaurant industry, and 99% of all IHOP restaurants are owned by independent franchise operators.
That is a terrible attitude...
“I’ve been doing this since I started here.”
She was denied tenure at Chicago, got it at Princeton but then left in a huff after getting into a spat with ‘self-aggrandizing’ Cornel West and deciding that not being promoted to full professor almost a decade early was the last straw, burnt every bridge possible on the way out of MSNBC, and now takes a gratuitous…
She is not coming off well with all this.
“I’ve been a College Professor since 1999 y’all. Journalism was just a side hustle. Y’all continue to fuss about your unimportant profession that was kinda my embarrassing nerdy weekend hobby. You guys are sad is what you are.”
I feel like I would really hate to work for her ego.
Geesh how to win friends and influence people.
That doesn’t make you immune to criticism about your product/service.
Oh I agree, that’s what I was trying to say. Her actions were not immediately reactive, so it hurts her defense.
That is the usual justification for self defence. The idea is that if it isn’t immediately reactive, the self defender had the option to leave the situation, rather than coming up with a plan and killing them later. In that case it is hardly self defence any more. I don’t think we should broaden the definition of self…
I don’t really like this precedent. Maybe France should focus on finding other ways to help battered women get out of their abusive relationships.
