Reply #2: That's right, like sacking out families from the reservation

[Warpy]

in the waiting room, illegally giving them blankets so they can catch a few hours' sleep because there is no way anyone from the rez can afford a city hotel room. Or sneaking in life partners after hours when the phobe family has banned them. Or looking the other way when someone you know steals from your store because you know that person is living on the street and has mental problems. Or looking the other way when kids you don't know steal the condoms you keep on the shelf instead of in back of the counter like management wants because you know those kids are poor but trying to be responsible. If you're running the store for a soul sucking corporation, you're allowed a certain percentage of "shrinkage" from shoplifting and spoilage. If you're running it for a friend, you tend to make up the difference out of your own pocket if that friend isn't looking the other way, too.

Sometimes a higher morality is at work and causes us to break rules and look the other way and I would hope most of us here on DU have had an occasion to do it and have done it. I know I have.

I'm glad there's enough of it going on in our corporatized world to fill a book. It gives me hope.
