    Default Shoplifting question

    Scenario: a person goes to a store, reads a National Geographic magazine, and takes the subscription card from inside, and walks out of the store.
    Shoplifting?
    Don't ask how I came up with this.

    Not if you're at shoppers and fill out the card and drop it off at the post office before leaving the store.

    Thanks for the 14 years of LOLs. Govern yourselves accordingly and avoid uppercut reactions!

    Yup....mispropriation of something you haven't paid for, despite the questionable monetary value of the insert.

    Why not just ask a sales rep/cashier/manager on duty if you can have it? I can't see a staff member shutting you down.

    Just my 2c.

    I dont really think they'd give a shit since what ones fall to the ground when people open the magazines and read them: are typically thrown out.

    Yes as mentioned it is stealing technically, but I'd be hard pressed to find a SINGLE person that would care enough to want to go through the whole process of dealing with a "shoplifter" over something so insignificant.

    I thought National Geographic was only on line now?
    They said they stopped producing paper made books years ago.
    i have'nt seen one in years.
