      Man if I’m dead and the lad or lass who had to take care of me in my final hours wants a Snickers, I certainly won’t have anything to say about it.

      well, idk, family members might want to have a word with her?

      but probably, somebody told her to get something and sadly she got there by the time the owner of the card died, and also sadly probably somebody was already fighting over the inheritence if any… im pulling all of this out of my butt btw, in case you cant tell by the probablies and idks and stuffs

        it’s likely that… I mean, you know, it’s always possible, in the event where… anyway, I would take it into consideration

        Oh, you’re right. In that case, the nurse is stealing from the patient and not an evil, faceless corporation. This changes everything.

          Even if it were a credit card, wouldn’t the estate still have to cover all debts before inheritance? So it would effectively be the same thing.

    If you see someone stealing food for themselves or a small group you ain’t seen shit - or you are shit & you are just mistaken what/who are you smelling.

      Imagine your mum died and her nurse pulled that shit and the hospital just shrugged it off. It’s not about the amount - demeaning someone posthumously should have consequences.

        I would literally not care. It’s a Snickers. I have enough empathy to understand that these people work hard and their job sucks. Of course it would’ve been better to not steal the money worth a Snickers, but these people have to endure so much. I could really not care less about that snickers. Of course if it had been more I’d be infuriated, but I value that persons job, to work for our society so much more than the snickers. We get daily robbed by so much more than that tiny amount of money. Is it disrespectful, sure it is still.
