She apparently couldn’t be satisfied by legally stealing from people in her day job.
She forgot she wasn’t at work anymore.
It’s honestly probably kleptomania. It’s a serious problem for a lot of people, and there’s no way this woman needs to shoplift, she could probably afford everything she steals.
I liked to steal stuff when I was a kid, but when I did, I always felt extremely guilty and gave the stuff back.
What I did was develop a career in IT Security over the last two decades. I can “steal stuff” and get paid to do it. Kind of. (It’s not malicious nor is it glamorous.)
It is the same, isn’t it? Finding cracks in procedures. Ways to sneak shit.
When I was a teen, it was the challenge/thrill. Not saying I stole but saying if I had… This would have been why.
I actually kinda feel bad for this lady. I mean, i know–she works for WF, they’re an evil company–so some sort of cosmic justice may apply… but i just can’t help but wonder what life must be like when you legit have that kind of disorder. There’s no plausible reason for the behavior–even she herself apparently recognizes that. From the article: “When asked why she repeatedly shoplifts when she has a good job, Weiss reportedly said she just didn’t have an answer.”
Maybe when your job is to sit in a glass office overseeing a couple dozen cubicle workers and your day consists of using various Microsoft Office products, useless meetings, and answering phone calls, this is the only excitement she’s able to get.
Didn’t she get to steal enough from customers at work? Dude, leave the office in the office.
