When I was in loss prevention I caught an old lady stealing tide. She would come in with empty vitamin bottles and fill them up with tide. She told me she was sampling it because she has sensitive skin and wanted to see if the detergent would agitate her skin... I explained to her that if a customer happened to pick up the bottle and realize it wasn't full, the store would be liable for a $10,000 fine from weights and measurements.
I didn't believe her and processed her like any other thief. Besides she took far more than a 'sample.' Nice try grandma.

What the hell?!? Why are people stealing Tide? Can't they just settle for some cheap knock off laundry soap from like the dollar store or something. geeez! Wouldn't it suck to be caught and convicted of stealing soap. Hahaha

It's only a $500 fine and misdemeanor. Unless its a second offense, then its just a felony

It is used as currency for drug and other black market purchases. Stable resale market (about 1/2 face value) on an item everyone needs. Tide is very recognizeable and (until now) didn't indicate anything criminal, no way to trace it (unlike electronic items and cash), doesn't spoil (unlike some other commodities) and is safer to deal in than cash. Nice side benefit for a drug dealer who may face stiffer penalties if caught with a large amount of cash - Courts convert the cash found into equivalent drug amounts and sentence based upon the large total. This could change a misdemeanor count into a felony with mandatory 20 year minimum sentence. (See, e.g., U.S. v. Henderson, 254 F.3d 543, 544 (5th Cir. 2001) (upheld converting $1,560 into seven grams of cocaine base); United States v. Perkins, 94 F.3d 429, 437-438 (8th Cir. 1996) (upheld conversion of 1/3 cash seized from defendant into crack); United States v. Tokars, 95 F.3d 1520, 1542 (11th Cir. 1996) (upheld conversion of money from drug sales into equivalent amount of drugs); United States v. Sepulveda, 102 F.3d 1313, 1319 (1st Cir. 1996) (upheld converting cash into crack rather than powder cocaine).

All anyone who wants cheap detergent needs to do is:
1) Find friend with Sam's Club membership (or equivalent). 2) Purchase largest store brand detergent for roughly $15. 3) Use about 1/2 - 1/3 the recommended amount specified. 4) It will last a family of three for more than a year (ask me how I know). Even if these people get three months out of a $5 bottle of black market Tide, they are still spending $20 a year. More than likely they are using and spending more than that. They should have stayed in school.

I also caught a guy stealing 13 bottles of head and shoulders. He said he could sell them at the flea market for half value. Interesting thing about this guy is that he ratted out all of his (friends?) Basically, one guy owned a house and he would let other people stay there if they would steal merchandise for him from local chain supermarkets and drug stores. The guy I caught was one of the ones staying at the house. He told me his story I told the police and they investigated it and arrested 5 people total. Fun stuff

I'm going to have to go steal a sample of some Charmin Ultra now and explain to people that I'm stealing it to sample which type of toilet paper prevents chafing on my butt.

So next time you want to take a dump at Lucky's, go grab some nice Charmin to grace your buttock with as opposed to that super thin quick disolving crap they provide.

But they don't have it on their person, so they aren't really stealing it
