I ran across this at lunch today while listening to a song on the Hot Summer Night bootleg by Steppenwolf. They had a song called '5 Finger Discount', which is a phrase you used to hear quite a bit in the days of my youth, but not so much anymore. I don't know why, it's much cooler sounding than shoplifting, though just as illegal. When I was in college in the early 70s, I used to like calling it "Liberating in the name of the people", which of course is still illegal, but sounds as if you're doing it to make a political statement.
And of course, it's much better than the wholesale raping of the middle & lower classes by Big Oil , Big Insurance, & Big Anyone Else With Lots Of Money.
