Guest Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Slightly different from finding something that is in protective wrapping or something. Fuck me you all think it's that minky. You have probably drank pints that are dirtier.Pints that we have paid for. Minkiness isn't just a hygiene thing, it's also about not behaving like an utter scumbag and stealing other people's things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsum_Fantastic Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Yeah? Same bin that's had thousands of pounds of waste in it over a period of years, more likely than not with insects and a residual scum at the bottom of it? Not to mention the fact they chuck out all sorts of shit with the food, broken glass, etc.And it's still the companies property! Doesn't matter whether or not it's getting used, you have no right to take it! From a personal point of view, would you not be utterly, utterly ashamed if someone caught you raking in a bin?There's a site which deals with day out of date food, order it from there.Wouldn't be ashamed in the slightest.

Adam Easy Wishes Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Aye it is pretty expensive. Especially when you have bills and debts and not a lot of money. I have never done this but I see no reason not to.There are two main reasons:1) You are taking food to put into your own body from an actual rubbish bin, filled with all sorts of minky things. This cannot be good for you.2) You are stealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about finding a tenner on the street? Hand it in to the bobbies? Fuck it the foods going to waste, no one is bothered if some hippies take the food.

Fuck it the foods going to waste, no one is bothered if some hippies take the food.The Shops are bothered, because they can be legally liable if someone got ill and also it costs them sales. People can lose jobs over other people taking stuff out of bins so it does matter.I would pick up a tenner and pocket it, but I'm not breaking and entering anything. Also, if it obviously fell out of someones pocket I would like to think I'd give it to them. But there is a difference between finding something on the street with no obvious owner and breaking into someones property to forcibly remove items, against their will and to the possible detriment of their business. Such a horrible idea.Also, your argument presupposes that all food thrown out is only thrown out because it's out of date. A lot of it is contaminated and thrown out because it's been deemed unsafe for consumption. If you're that worried about price order it through a legal site, which is dirt cheap, but you shouldn't steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealing food that is being thrown out isnt going to close any food supermarket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't. 99% of people in this country can afford food, week in week out. even if it's shitty smart-price stuff. Not like if they don't rake the bins they'll die, majority of freegans are just looking to save some cash, not just survive. Youse need to stop being such horrible, thieving disgusting cunts.

Losing count of these now.It's not going to close any supermarkets, but on a personal level people could get in serious shit if they didn't lock the bins or if food goes missing.And does it matter if you're caught or not? It's still a scummy thing to do. If I could get away with stealing someones shit tomorrow and not get caught, I like to think I wouldn't do it because it's not a nice thing to do.

The Milner Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 What was ill-informed? The fact you think keeping a tenner you find without reporting it is ok? Or the fact that taking some out of date pre-packaged curry's isnt going to put Tesco out of buisness anytime soon?Its ok to steal one thing, but not the other?

In a heartbeat, without a second thought. Would i "steal" out of date prepackaged food from a multi billion pound company? Easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily.Aye, again ignoring my point, most freegans are looking to save money, not to survive. Hardly like stealing from a bin will mean the difference between life and death for someone, this isn't a third world country, the amount of times that would happen is infinitesimal. Food is very affordable, even if it's just cheap shit.I'm saying breaking into someone's property is worse than finding a tenner on the street. Also, if you handed it into the police station, I sincerely doubt it would ever be claimed and if it was, there would scarcely be any proof saying it was that person's tenner. But it's sort of getting away from my point: don't be a cheap cunt, you probably aren't starving if you rake through bins, buy your own food.

If your going to sit on your pedestal and look down on everyone make sure your following what you preach. Dont just choose when the law is convenient for you to follow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your going to sit on your pedestal and look down on everyone make sure your following what you preach. Dont just choose when the law is convenient for you to follow.I was just commenting on the scale of the two 'crimes'. My initial post was just giving a supermarkets perspective on people stealing from bins. I hardly think I, or anyone else, is on a pedestal thinking that stealing from a bin is both disgusting and a bit of a shit thing to do.Also, at no point did I use the law as my moral reference. I don't think every law is right or should be obeyed. Don't know where you're getting that from. All I was doing is explaining how it hurts supermarkets/staff in supermarkets and why I think it's wrong to take stuff out of bins. You just seem to be diverging from the main point of the discussion. Anyway this is getting really quite boring now to read, not just for me I'm sure, so we should all STFU. Maybe you more than others, seeing as a giant chunk of your posts across the board are utter drivel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
