Like if the book's $3 and you can resell it somewhere else for $20 - pay the $3, don't hide it under the cart.
Like the lady Alan mentioned with the building supplies - source cheap, sell higher, make a profit.
Shoplifting isn't necessary.
I think there's a big difference between the most of the stuff you see on these gambling forums vs. the stealing from big business stuff that you mention.
If a casino advertises a promotion with rules that you can benefit from and you participate in it using the knowledge you have from going there all the time and knowing the machines and odds etc. and gain benefit from it, you aren't taking anything except what was offered. You're just being smart about it and not playing whatever machine, but playing the ones with advantage. Instead of being the ploppy they're trying to attract, who will come in and lose but feel better about it and come back to lose more because hey it's 15 point day, you're playing the better VP or the coin churner slots or the progressive that's in positive range.
There's a big difference between that and skimming chips.
