#3: Life Lessons at Kmart
This person actually learned a valuable life lesson when they were banned from their local Kmart back in the day. As a kid, they learned that smacking the handle of the twist-turn candy dispensers would cause some of the candy to jostle loose and fall out, free of charge. The Kmart management found out about what they were doing, and they were none too happy.
This poor kid was accused of stealing and permanently banned from entering the Kmart. The store even took his photo and everything! Looking back on the event, our storyteller openly admits that they knew what they were doing was wrong. They’re honestly glad they got caught because it taught them the consequences of stealing in a very low-stakes way.
