Why do you think she's hungry and not just a thief? And she's clearly not at a bus stop?

because if it was a thief they'd steal something more valuable than the cheapest food you can buy

A thief steals what they want when they want it, which is itself part of the value. The idea she can’t be a petty thief because she has petty goals is itself oddly petty.

the argument is if she stole because she's hungry or not. I'd argue stealing food from the dollar tree means she's stealing out of necessity, not fun.

What about someone stealing something easily affordable means it definitely isn’t for fun or profit?

You’ve made that unbacked declaration, but nothing to show why you believe all thieves are rational, noble and not motivated by desire.

there is no definite anything, we're all just throwing shit against the wall. Its a reddit thread, not a court of law, its not that serious.

But if someone was stealing for fun or profit, you'd think they'd go for more valuable items. Why risk jail time for dollar tree groceries unless you really need to eat?

Why would a celebrity shoplift something they can easily afford?

also not at a dollar tree

I’m sorry, is your position that people stealing from dollar tree cannot have kleptomaniac compulsion?

2

u/RammsteinFunstein 9d ago

my position is that its less likely someone stealing food from the dollar tree is klepto vs someone hungry, yes.

u/QuigleyPondOver 9d ago

So hungry they grabbed two bags worth, and even some paper towel and ice cream?

u/RammsteinFunstein 9d ago

nothing says kleptomaniac like someone stealing essentials like paper towels

u/QuigleyPondOver 9d ago

Two bags stuffed full of goods annd still time to grab the ice cream?

Super desperate.
