A life of hard work and dishonest business practice more like it.
Some people never watch the price of what they buy that is being scanned and you pay for more.
Corruption in the Walmart association is worse.
Example..A $56.00 fishing pole combo scans for $9.00
Would you report the wrong price or go back and buy another pole for $9.00?
The move is too buy as many as you can then the markup is scanned right after they've wiped them out.
The hit person then resales them on the street or flea market and splits the profits with the Walmart employee responsible for the inputting the scan.
To pevent from being caught the proper price is then marked upon to its orginal price and then move on to the next product.
They choose items in the 50 to 60 dollar range to intentionally steal from Walmart and then we as cutomers pay the mark up price for their loss when Walmart realizes they are losing more money not from shoplifters, but from a corrupted inside job.
Dateline would love to catch these guys at work.
I got this information from a private source.

A life of honest hard work or a life of crime ?.........
It would appear that your average crininal shies away from both honesty and hard work. I would say that lack of hard work is a trait of idleness, but that doesn`t generate an income. Consequently, a quick, easy income is available through crime and dishonesty, with very little or no physical exertion involved.
Even the penal system now is portrayed as "holiday camps", unlike years ago when a prison sentence did involve hard labour.
So basically, one could construe the criminal element of society as lazy no-gooders. There are genuine exeptions to this rule i hasten to add, when in extenuating circumstances of extreme poverty, someone is forced to commit a minor misdemeanour in order to feed a hungry family, when all other resources have failed. There is a certain amount of forgiveness and compassion tolerated then, but other than that, any form of crime is inexcuseable.

A life of crime only works for a little while until the law catches up to you so i would say honest hard work at least you wont have a guilty conscious or always having to look back.

Hmm... my mother used to say that if I had opted for a life of hard crime, I was smart enough and devious enough to make it #1 on the FBI wanted list. She hoped I would "always be good." I opted for a life of honest hard labor - never made the Wanted List but never got rich either. Just the same - honest hard labor works well for me. At least I don't have to look over my shoulder every two minutes and I can sleep nights.

a life of honest hard work is just that HARD, but it pays off in the end, you get the satisfaction of building a life, supporting a family, learned family values, trust with your neighbors and friends, etc....
a life of crime is easier, and it usually pays out really well. You can have the toys and stuff, but you risk being caught all the time, and looking at jail time. then you will have a criminal record that will haunt you the rest of your life. You will not be able to get a good job, apply for credit, etc....

ive tryed both, and i would go with a life of honest hard work, when you get paid and but something, there is a much better feeling within that you earned it, you worked hard for it, when living the other way, i think you just expect to get it when you it instead of working for it, thats how i used to feel! i would never want to go back to a life of crime, it really isnt worth it

i prefer the honest road but the life of crime seems to work for some.

I guess the criminals will say crime and the honest people will say hard work.
Hard work never hurt anyone... but crime does.

i should imagine a life of crime is hard work for most petty criminals trying to think up how to get some money every day and not knowing if your going to get anything or not
i think a life of honest work even if its boring is easier

Honest hard work, is my choice each time! A life of crime gets you nowhere except prison and you never achieve anything worthwhile!
