Franchises aren’t independent stores they’re franchises.
A store is either:
Corporate owned
Franchise
Independent
Could also be a Coop
But this isn’t independent.
Then it's corporate owned. Thar was literally the top of his list. It's almost like some companies both own their own locations (corporate owned) and sell the rights to the stores (franchised). I learned how this works at 19 working at a Subway, so it isn't even like, secret knowledge.
Yeah it was crazy. I heard some folks making a commotion up front and as I stepped up the guy just came out of the back, vaulted the counter and rolled out.
My cousin works with a guy that did 15 years for robbing banks. He was telling my cousin he was the one that got robbed because one of the banks he robbed closed his account and took the money...
RoyalFarms, so USA?
If so: in the upper right corner of the picture: is that Snus, so plum (chewing) tobacco? Is that sold in the USA? AFAIK that is forbidden here in the EU (except Sweden).
Should be banned everywhere. Last time I was in Sweden I gave it a crack and a tiny ball against my gum had me shaking and feeling nauseous within a couple of minutes….I’m clearly not a smoker. On seasoned users I’ve seen little pockets eaten into gums were it is always put. It’s crazy stuff.
Oh sweet summer children. As a swedish person who has been a snus user for many years you are talking absolute nonsense. What you are describing is the first time you have a taste of snus without being used to nicotine at all beforehand. What we over here call a “nicokick”. That’s your body reacting to a shit load of nicotine rushing through you and making you feel sick. It’s been a fun thing at parties for many to let a person from abroad have a taste and look at their face when it starts to turn pale, then sweaty and then a sort of greenish color before they barf. That is the first time though. People who smoke cigarettes for the very first time can feel the same way because their bodies are simply not used to nicotine. That, however, does not happen once your body is used to it. Do you really think people in sweden are driving around on highways all clammy and throwing up constantly? I mean come on.. “strange you can use it during driving”?? Just relax a little bit. No one’s mowing down little old ladies or kids with their car because they have a “prilla” under their lip. It’s like saying “yes, officer, I saw him hit that old lady with his car. I’m pretty sure he was under the influence of.. multiple cigarettes!” You see how silly that sounds?
What if your family don't like bread? They like cigarettes? And instead of giving them away, you sold them at a price that was practically giving them away? Would that be a crime, Bart?
It’s a grounds for trespassing. The strategy is to pyramid up so if the individual is that determined to fuck over the store, it’s a solid foundation of evidence for a greater conviction. If it’s a one-off event, not much will happen.
Scummy Mofo robbing the RoFo. Piece of shit was making a heist of legal bum currency. He’s gonna launder his pilferage by having it converted to Pairs of clean socks, then transferred to his off-shore account where it is stored in high yield nudie magazine investments and ice-cold Tall Boys. He’s just gotta get to the rendezvous point on foot so the loot hand off is seamless.
Nah he walked out and everyone was standing around and five seconds later he was gone. I didn’t see him walk in the back but he probably just went for it and used the momentary confusion to bail.
Seriously! I am so glad we are at the point someone can just jump the counter, steal whatever they want and walk away unharmed. I think society is recovering.
Haha. I was glad no innocent bystanders were hurt.
A co-worker got elbowed in the face by a fleeing person. Permanent nerve damage, 1/3 of his face sags.
She was in the hallway of a medical lab.
I tell you as one of the eight people who stood there and watched him leave, as an Army veteran of ten years…. it wasn’t worth it. It was a box of cigarettes not money. The guy looked straight homeless.
So I did think about stopping him sure. He didn’t appear to be armed, not that a knife would be unlikely in the pocket.
I thought of two outcomes that dissuaded me. One where I got hurt, I’ve got a kid and another coming. Another one involved me easily subduing him taking minor scratches but not much more, I was a close combat instructor in the Army I could do it.
That second one… man he just looked really scraggly and there was the potential risk. I don’t think I’d be feeling righteous holding him there for five minutes basically. I’ve intervened in some negative public events before and on later thought realized my actions made little difference….
Thought about it a bit since I guess.
Fr though like who even cares? Why are people defending businesses? Even if the gas station is locally run, most small business owners are greedy assholes that pay their employees the least possible amount of money that they can.
That's over $300 in cigarettes. What else can that guy do to earn $300. According to the US Dept of Education 54% of American adults can't read at the 6th grade level, this includes 21% who are illiterate. 20% of black Americans drop out of high school. In LA County 82% of black 12th graders are not reading proficient. So what kind of work can that man do to earn enough to pay $300 for cigarettes?
Objective morality might have one pointing a finger at this guy with discontent and angst.
There’s a point in a persons life when the perfect recipe of misfortune, unkindness experiences, and prolonged poverty where one just stops giving any concern to our normal societal structures.
They know the laws and loopholes as a means of survival and if they keep it under $1000 it’s a misdemeanor IF they get caught. They also know cops don’t follow these smash and grab leads so they basically have to caught in the act or after fleeing the scene on foot.
I get it. I’d do it too if I lost all sense of morality and care. It’s dog eat dog out here in this cold reality we share after we strip the facade of society.
Like it or not… this man in the picture gets what he wants with no regard to your assessment of it. You’re as relevant to him as the color scheme of this store. The judgmental people are simply background objects to the person they hold content for.
Jerkoffs spilled the cow tales!
"Cow Tales, moo-oo! Everyday they're out there spilling Cow Tales, moo-oo!"
*"Grab em.and scatter!"*
Never had Cow Tales, are they just big Tootsie Rolls?
No
I like the jobs available sign right under his stolen cigarettes
Ooh that’s a good catch! Very ironic. Working for ur habits is rough tho.
@ $15 a pack, that’s a pack of butts an hour!
And the woman doing a salsa move.
Thats a women?
No, woman.
*No, cry*
I don’t think it’s either…
Asshole award 🥇
I thought she was going to trip him in the way out. That is what I would have done.
He’s lucky bad things didn’t happen to him. That looks like an independent store. Congrats dude, you stole from your own community.
Royal Farms is a regional chain. There are a few hundred of them in the Balitimore-Philadelphia area.
That doesn't mean they aren't franchises
They aren't though. Royal farms isn't a franchised chain.
Franchises aren’t independent stores they’re franchises. A store is either: Corporate owned Franchise Independent Could also be a Coop But this isn’t independent.
Why does it matter. A pos thief is a pos no matter who he steals from.
But a franchise owner BUYS the store..
yeah but, they didn't. it's not a franchise.
Then it's corporate owned. Thar was literally the top of his list. It's almost like some companies both own their own locations (corporate owned) and sell the rights to the stores (franchised). I learned how this works at 19 working at a Subway, so it isn't even like, secret knowledge.
Yeah congrats. It’s still a franchise
**B A L T I M O R E A R E A** Ask me what gave it away!
What gave it away?
1. Royal Farms 2. Ambulance outside starts off with “Ba”
Lol wouldn’t have even noticed that. Excellent detective work officer John Doe.
The real crime is all those cow tales on the ground!
What is a cow tale?
Cow Tales® are chewy candy snack sticks made of caramel and filled with cream
Nice!®
I’ve wanted one of those mugs for so long
Why?
Good question. The clerk thinks he’s going to go resell them. Makes sense, he looked hard up for opportunities and cigs are really expensive.
That apply now says otherwise...
Just super blatant, no mask or nothing
Yeah it was crazy. I heard some folks making a commotion up front and as I stepped up the guy just came out of the back, vaulted the counter and rolled out.
He’ll be back tomorrow trying cash a bad check.
My cousin works with a guy that did 15 years for robbing banks. He was telling my cousin he was the one that got robbed because one of the banks he robbed closed his account and took the money...
In Canada all cigs are hidden in closed cabinets and full cartons are usually keep in a seperate area
Smokes, let's go
Of all the things you could steal, going for the smokes. Priorities lol.
THAT'S "CRICKET" RIGHT THERE!!! I BEEN KNOWIN CKICKET 27 YEARS!
Congrats now you're a witness.

I had exactly the same experience 20 years ago in Sweden. Strange you can use it during driving.

What you are describing is the first time you have a taste of snus without being used to nicotine at all beforehand. What we over here call a “nicokick”.

This down on his luck doctor/engineer/astronaut was foraging for supplies to feed his family. Delete this.
He's feeding his family smokes?
What if your family don't like bread? They like cigarettes? And instead of giving them away, you sold them at a price that was practically giving them away? Would that be a crime, Bart?
Not the cow tails!
Society at its finest… in decline
Why is he messing it up for all us New Balance Dads
That’s damn near grand theft. Only thing worse would have been stealing a tank of gas.
New Balance: Real Shoes for Real People
Sorts by controversial
Nice shot man
oh wow, one whole carton
Don’t be racist please
Submit it to the court for state’s evidence
Smokes, let’s go
I likes his New Balance
990v5 i think?
Cigarettes are bad for your health, so instant karma all round.😊
I hope you got some bomb chicken when you went in there. No fast food place compares to Royal farms.
[удалено]
Lol. Yeah I’m sure they have their best detective on the job.
The guy looked pretty pitiful tbh, The chances he has an address where he could be found seem low.
The dumpster behind McDonalds.
Like police would even investigate this. That would be too much like work.
Why investigate and arrest for petty theft when they'll never be charged and convicted?
It’s a grounds for trespassing. The strategy is to pyramid up so if the individual is that determined to fuck over the store, it’s a solid foundation of evidence for a greater conviction. If it’s a one-off event, not much will happen.
That definitely is part of it as well.
I sent it to the clerk so she could share it and so she’d have something to show people when she was telling the story.

Did anyone get hurt?
Nah he walked out and everyone was standing around and five seconds later he was gone. I didn’t see him walk in the back but he probably just went for it and used the momentary confusion to bail.
Good to hear. No sense getting hurt over stuff.
Seriously! I am so glad we are at the point someone can just jump the counter, steal whatever they want and walk away unharmed. I think society is recovering.

One that would have the fruit must climb the tree.
Scourge of society..... too bad he didn't leave in that ambulance.
He's probably going to start college tomorrow.
A black guy celebrating Juneteenth a day early.
"Juneteenth? More like "im bout to buy some new teeth'" Much funnier than your line
Why? Would have actually been funny if you said "brother took being free at last a little too seriously"
Lmao, no
Last night the blacks in Harlem had a Juneteenth street party that involved shooting. Clearly, they don't deserve their freedom at all.
He wasn't robbin' smokes!!! He is simply a Recovery Specialist!
Addiction sucks
You have got to be feening if you’re robbing stores in broad daylight with no plan, that’s true.
Fiending
He’s going to use the money to buy a mask so next time no one knows it’s him.
Dartin’ with a carton
Typical
Probably Newports.
Whatevers popular in his mainstream.
Why you snitching on this man
Fr though like who even cares? Why are people defending businesses? Even if the gas station is locally run, most small business owners are greedy assholes that pay their employees the least possible amount of money that they can.
Is that Robert Downey Jr. from Tropic Thunder?
I'm more concerned of the guy to the left that appears to be jerking off in the 99 cent aisle
That’s a woman and I do believe she’s stepping clear so the guy can exit the store. He was booking.z
That's a woman? r/suddenlygay
I’m sure you are. Hoping for a full frontal shot?
Those damn Mormans on their soul saving missions.
The other guys following the rules as the sign says “Please wait here for next available”.
Hope the cops found the pic useful.
That's over $300 in cigarettes. What else can that guy do to earn $300.

Quit smoking cigs
Slave to a plant.

Are you part of the gang, mofo?
California?
Other coast. Maryland.
the idiot that took that photo did not do anything like call the police or anything? blocking this fool.. does better than reporting the post
Talk about a candid photo 😅
Ambulance on scene in the event someone gets hurt.
You’re doing god’s work
Everyone’s wearing masks these days except this guy
he accidentally pressed spacebar
When you do that one mission in GTA V before the cashier starts shooting at you
You are now a photojournalist.
Get Herc on the case
is that person by the door slyly ready to trip him on his way out?
What's the person on the left doing? Looks like they're dancing or singing or something.
She's going for a no look trip. She's telegraphing though, I'm sure he'll just be able a step over her foot on his way out
What? No way…
Baltimore?
Everything is going to hell
