A Fourth of the Population Has Stolen From the Grocery Store [INFOGRAPHIC]

I read that right after the melt down, shop-lifting shot up. The most shop-lifted items were high-end fancy cheeses and coffees, all the people that couldn't afford that stuff any more still wanted it.

I have never stolen anything, I would correct a cashier if I was not charged correctly, and I would return any incorrect change given me. But, the govenment has been stealing from me for a long time and calling it "taxes" and demanding I pay "my fair share."

This is no true its not even funny. The more money you make the more money the government takes. They even take a large sum of your money if you win the lottery.

The last one was so funny
and 4% use checks out of 1,371 people? That about 55 people! And this isn't the whole world who was polled! Who knows that the rest of the world says?!?!

I don't steal; I pay for everything.

wow,2% of people steal ciggarets?(i know i spelt it wrong) they need to quit and get a life

Wow, a guy behind the keyboard, with Obama pictures for profile pics, tells somebody to get a life cause he stole cigarettes... he must be way cool and an awesome role model

Gee that's insulting

infographics are pretty cool if I don't say so mysself

On the last pie charts, I think it's gotten almost even between the men and women with who does the most shopping. I see a lot of men grocery shopping.

I wrk part time in a grocery store. I see a lot of couples shopping . I noticed that younger shoppers buy more junk foods with food stamps. Older shoppers WITh or without FS bay more sensible food choices. Wren I shop for myself I find a lot of half eaten fast foods, chicken , empty soda bottles, candy wrappers etc......I guess a whole lot of people are eating away or a few that do it often ??

scarey

wow. i'm suprised cigarettes aren't higher because of their insane high pricing anymore

Kind of feel like I shouldn't have voted now, not being American, as it messes with the 'average American' results they're declaring.

Never that hungry, and I was a child of hard-working and virtuous parents.

P.S.--as for shopping, I do all of the grocery shopping--and most of the cooking. My wife shops for the big stuff and handles most bills. Works fine

I do all he shopping for me !

My grandpa put an Onion in his pocket the other day and stole it.

Well I am poor. When the going gets tough...I steal a couple of oreos from the snack aisle

OK....well is there a question here?...or is this just a general statement? Perhaps 25% of people are just thieves due to a bad economy.

Never stole anything that I can remember

I think what the pic about who does the shopping, is it fails to identify single sex households. I.e. apartment with one resident, or two of the same gender.

The bottom graphic is missing some information.

1/4th of SodaHeads maybe... We all know how SodaHeads are. ;)

I have popped the odd grape in my mouth. :)

You don't steal the even ones?

I've stolen eyedrops before. Well kind of, it wasn't intentional. Lady said it was paid for and when I left the shop they called me on my cell. Went back and paid. Also when I was realy little think I took a candybar. But that was like when I was 6.

same. if Ive stolen it was either by accident or when I was small.

I sampled grapes once at Walmart... But only because I had to wait for my ride home and received a call saying that my ride would come in 5 hours.

One time, when I was 10, my brother and I got caught stealing bags of candy. The assistant manager took us into his office and was in the process of asking us questions when a clerk entered the office and told the manager about some guy causing problems in the store. The manager left and locked us in his office. I immediately started opening his desk drawers, and lo and behold, a cash drawer filled with cash. We took the $350.00 and change and climbed out a window. We were never caught. Unfortunately, the very next day my Mother came in my room, walked over and picked up my jeans to wash them, and found the money. Because I could not explain where I got the money, she confiscated the cash and left me with the change. That taught me that lesson that crime doesn't pay.

I was brought up to know that it is wrong to steal.

Desperate times call for desperate measures
I don't blame them, I blame bills and not enough wages

It's tough to earn a Galleon these days.
:-D

True :)

The only thing i ever took from a store was a pack of gum when i was 5 and my parents made me return it to the store manager and apologize. It was horrible!

Who said that , tut tut, i think more than a fourth have and do
"All over the place " .... 8¬ ]

"The average American buys groceries once a week at a traditional supermarket and prefers to pay by debit. Where?"
This data has WHAT to do with shoplifting??? Splain me....

I love it when stores use racial profiling while their other customers rob them blind. Act like a jackass- I won't point out the shoplifters.

I would feel way to guilty stealing from a mom and pop store but a walmart I wouldn't.
