I have no respect for people shoplifting non-essential items (like makeup, etc) but essential items like food is a different story.
Makeup is an essential item for professional women. I'm not saying it's right that it's essential, I'm just saying it is.
What about all the women who get by without wearing make-up?
Lots of people get by without wearing glasses too, but that doesn't mean that my blind eyes don't need them.
Lots of people get by without a therapist, but that doesn't mean my crumbling mental health doesn't need one.
Everyone needs different things to lean on -- don't shame others for having their own needs, even if you don't understand what it's like to be in their head. :-)
This is my emotional support 4090. I need it.
I personally have to lean on my private yacht to get by, so im glad people who judge me for it are in the wrong
They don't get jobs as flight attendants. If you already work in an industry that mandates make up use, and you're doing it tough, shoplifting make up seems like a smarter financial choice than getting fired over a lack of make up and having to find work in an entirely new industry.
As someone who currently doesn't even own a single article of make up (unless you count tinted zinc), yes, you can get by without it, but not everyone can, and loosing your job over other when you're already struggling financially isn't ideal.
stealing is always the smarter financial choice
They're just casual women, they don't go in the professional circuit
I missed the professional part of that last comment
Good for them, but a desperate person is going to look for any edge they can get.
