    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.

        Humans weren’t meant to be office workers. It’s not surprising that some people mentally break, when you look around and most people’s body’s are broken down.

    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.

      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 did it to just see if I could. It was 30 years ago. But we stole t shirts or magazines. Nothing horribly expensive. It was “can we get away with this?”

      She stole $1281 of stuff over multiple shopping trips.

      Target can ID faces and track thefts across multiple store trips.

        One thing that any would be shoplifter should take away from this is NEVER steal from Target. Target waits and tallies up what a person has shoplifted until that dollar value exceeds what is required to charge them with felony theft, in Florida‘s case a dollar value greater than 750, and then has that person arrested.

        I’ve heard that target waits until you hit some amount that makes it a felony then busts you hard

        Which basically means you can steal from target, but only once.

          Yeah, there is usually a dollar amount that you need to hit in order for charges to actually be meaningful in a number of states. For example, in CA you need to steal over $950 for a judge to have the option to make it a felony. If it’s under $950 it’s a slap on the wrist.

      In each instance, Weiss allegedly fills a shopping cart with hundreds of dollars in merchandise, then scans and pays for a few items to generate a receipt she can show to a store associate as she walks out.

    I’m surprised that more people don’t know not to FAFO involving Target. When a company has a lab that’s sophisticated enough where LEOs ask for assistance on unrelated investigations, that’s never a good sign.

      It’s the bright red lipstick on thin, downturns lips. Also the “oh shit” look in her eyes as she realizes she’s completely fucked up her life. No bank will ever hire her again.

      She looks like someone trying extremely hard to keep it together. This is unsettling to see because it reminds us how complex and delicate a set of circumstances it takes to keep a person sane.

    It took me a good while, but I FINALLY figured out who this woman looks like.

    It’s absolutely Martha Kelly.

    She played the drug dealer boss in Euphoria.
