Stealing


I always wondered why "Troy" stole all that garlic and one little package of meat from the grocery store cause she didn't want to use the food stamps? I've never seen anyone eat garlic like that, and she was suppose to be getting dinner. Although I don't condone it in reality- if you're going to steal, at least steal well.

Yeah I know I saw the movie. But ya can't eat just garlic and one pack of meat for a family of 6 (cause the dad wasn't there at the time) she would have just been sent back to the store to get some more things with the stamps. So why steal it in the first place?

Yea, i'm not sure why she stole such a little bit of food, because it would seem that her mother had sent her for more than that. Maybe she knew she was supposed to buy more, but just chose to steal a smaller pack of meat so it could fit in her shirt... but then, like you said, wouldn't her mom just have sent her back for more??

She felt embarrassed because her family was living on food stamps. She stole out of habit. Remember she did steal from the latino.
