I’m obviously of the opinion that artists shouldn’t undervalue themselves, and I hope for the day where all freelancers can work for at least minimum wage,  but telling people not to buy underpriced art is kinda ???????????

If you want to commission a certain artist and you feel their prices are low, you’re very welcome to give them a nice tip. Giving them something is better than giving them nothing at all. 

Not to mention if a artist is starting low, could be they’re trying to get people to start buying.  Hard to gain commissions if you’re unknown.

I mean christ I’ve had people tell me a drawing that I’d spend 2 hours on for 10 bucks was too much money, so you don’t win either way.

ok my opinions on shoplifting and dumpster diving are as follows:

1. shoplift all you fucking want from big corporations, all they do is take your hard earned money for fucking bullshit anyway and you don’t owe them anything. they pay their workers shit and they ain’t nothing but a cornerstone of capitalism. don’t steal from the little guy tho, that’s uncool. steal from the big guys, they’re sitting on shitloads of money and won’t miss a fuckin candy bar anyway bc with their money they could buy about 3485903485903485904850934850943850934 million candy bars ok

2. don’t dumpster dive if you don’t actually need to, that food is for people who are too poor to buy food.

So I work retail and every quarter we get a little bonus cash based on performance, store’s overall sales, and fright lost (Expired, broken, or stolen)

Out store is very high risk for shoplifting and the bonus is like half of last time. I can’t tell you how many wrappers, half eaten hot and ready food items, and opened drinks and all sorts of stuff I had to report stolen. Less sales, less money earned, hurts our bonuses, we get reprimanded for not catching it more often,  and everyone’s been getting some hours cut across the board.  Oh dont forget wasting time filing claims for the stolen stuff I find.

Oh, more than once I’ve found half eaten rotisserie chickens shoved in the back of shelves too, I only caught it cause it smell awful.

Not to mention electronic items, pharmacy items(Emptying a bunch of pill and putting the half full bottle back), whitening strips (Like 30 for a small light box, we had to start putting them in cases), or beauty products(Small like item in a small box, it was hard to tell when I went to move it that it was empty)

sooooo yeah that has an affect on the little guys too sadly.;

i spent 6 hours editting css until i remembered i didn’t know how to do that.
