Video: Opinion | Would You Steal From Whole Foods?
I want to start with a little exercise just about our own morals. Would you share your Netflix password? I do. I also do. Well —— With anyone. For the longest time I actually had someone else’s Netflix password, and that was my primary access to Netflix. And now you share your own? Yeah. Would you get around a paywall on an article you’re trying to read? Do it every day on my stream. Every day. I support it when people do it for my own work. I say go off. Use the Wayback Machine. Would you pirate music from an indie band? Is it 2005 and I’m using LimeWire? Because, yes. I feel like every millennial has at some point done this. I mean, I feel fundamentally Spotify is kind of like deleterious to the musician livelihood, and I use that. But then I go to the shows. Oh, yeah. No, I’m pro piracy all the way, like across the board. Would you pirate a car? Yes, if I could get away with it. If it was as easy as pirating I.P., I would do it, yeah. Would you dine and dash from your local diner? Never, never. Tip 35 percent. Mike’s! Come on. No, I wouldn’t do that. And if I saw somebody doing that, I’d probably pay for their meal. Yeah. Would you steal from Whole Foods? You want to go first? Yes, and I have under very specific circumstances. I think that stealing from a big box store — I’ll just state my platform: It’s neither very significant as a moral wrong, nor is it significant in any way as protest or direct action. But I did steal from Whole Foods on several occasions.
What the Hell Is Microlooting?
When one of my sisters was a tween, she was walking down the street with my grandparents when some change fell out of her purse. She didn’t turn back. “It’s just pennies,” she announced. “It’s worthless. Who cares?” My grandfather had her turn around and pick up each one. “We don’t just throw away money, and we don’t act with casual indifference to things of value, even if they’re of small value,” he explained. He didn’t take this stance because he worshipped the almighty dollar, nor because he grew up very poor—though he did, living above another family’s garage with his widowed mother—but because he considered it careless and fundamentally ungrateful.

Anti-capitalist New Yorker writer brags she stole from Whole Foods 'on several occasions' in NYT podcast
A longtime staff writer for the New Yorker known for bashing capitalism bragged that she has stolen from her local Whole Foods “on several occasions” in a New York Times podcast.
Jia Tolentino, 37, made the shocking admission while joining left-wing streamer Hasan Piker and Times’ opinion culture editor Nadja Spiegelman for a Wednesday episode about so-called “microlooting” from mega-corporations.
Examples tossed around by the trio ranged from everyday consumers sharing passwords for streaming services to brazen criminals pilfering paintings from the Louvre Museum.
When Spiegelman suggested pocketing produce from Whole Foods, Tolentino confessed she already had “on several occasions.”
The scribe said one of her duties as a member of her ritzy Brooklyn neighborhood’s mutual aid group was to buy groceries for one of her neighbors, Miss Nancy.
