well, Blacksheepxx, the thing of it is, if you could sit down and realize that you are only driving prices even further higher, you could most likely stop.....WHY? because thats the approach we take when a compulsive shoplifter acknowledges and feels bad, you are conciencious about this and the reason and excuse you give is that 'the economy is bad" and they charge too much.....point is that the more people steal, the more shoppers have to pay. Theres a class they give much like a drivers restitution class that helps give knowledge to those who CARE...and you would benefit i beleive because you obviously do care!
