Really now? Allusions to slavery? I assumed you were a troll, but you're just a straight up lame; that was a horrible comparison.

I feel OP's perspective.
But, since he's willing to get political and sociological with the "house negro" reference, let me just offer a counterpoint.
You work at a chain sneaker store, you get paid peanuts, period. What do you expect most kids who make little to no money to do, if not to try to scheme on a come up? ...Even if you get fired, so what? What do you lose? Get a job at the store next to that one, making the same minimum wage...
Essentially, the employees have no incentive not to do whatever they can for a come-up. It sucks when that dynamic doesn't benefit you. But, on the flip side, on the employee 50, when you approach dude on some, I know the deal type ish and get yourself hooked up, I doubt you are complaining about them violating corporate policy then. The knife cuts both ways. (I understand one is essentially screwing the company and the other the customer, but it's same flouting of policy responsible).
So, you can pull a polorico and try to get cats fired. But, that's only going to address the symptom, not the disease. Unless the job somebody risks for some scraps or to look out for a friend is worth enough to them that they don't want to risk it, this behavior will continue. And, these jobs aren't worth that - so the "shady" employee is just acting in his rational self-interest. ...The same way a reckless cab who gets paid my maximizes his fares pisses you off as a fellow driver by cutting in and out of lanes, but is acting completely rationally in his situation. That's why I don't think this is something that's really within your power to influence. Even polorico is just playing whack-a-mole.

Are grown *** men really tripping about sneakers, this is why my interest is waining, I enjoy collecting but all this complaining from resellers to general guys is so petty. Get your paper up for resellers or wait for the shoe market to crash and just cop then. We are in a cycle of high materialism but everything has a down side, be patient and u will be able to cop with ease. Can we please stop with these lame thread, ninjas writing a thesis on why they butt hurt they can't get sneakers when people in the world can't have clean drinking water or food sources are tainted,#getalifeorkillyourself

No, I joined months ago, but opened a new account. My old name was Tiger Paw Raw. Even if I did start my account yesterday, does that mean I can't ask a valid question and share my opinion? No? Oh, ok.

My bad, guy. Say, what's up with everyone using all the cute little faces all the time? What is this, pokemon.com or something? I digress. Answer me this; how, exactly, was that a horrible comparison? I was trying to get across the fact that these losers who say "quit complaining" or "stop crying" or "it doesn't matter, you're not going to be able to make a difference", etc are, in my eyes, the equivalent of a house negro, because in my opinion, they know that something is wrong, but are too ***** to say anything. What's even crazier is that instead of just doing them (being silent), they seem to want to have other people do like them and sit down, instead of trying to make a difference. So tell me, was it a horrible comparison, or did you just not like it? While you're at it, explain to me why you assumed I was a troll? Because I asked an honest question, and gave my honest opinion? I wasn't trying to rile anyone up, I was just stating how I felt. Do you even know what a troll is?Really now? Allusions to slavery? I assumed you were a troll, but you're just a straight up lame; that was a horrible comparison.

See, this is the kind of thing I was getting at when I started this. If any person on here can read that post and say "Whatever. Who cares? Quit crying", you aren't right in the head.

In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have dropped the "house negro" comment. I was thinking about what else would equate to what I was feeling at the time, but just said "f it" and posted it. I was so heated with all of these apathetic responses, and I thought that "house negro" pretty much nailed how I viewed those guys leaving the "quit crying" responses. I wasn't trying to get political or anything like that; house negro is a phrase I thought described someone who is unwilling to stand up for something because they are afraid of riling the "powers that be". At least, that's how I viewed it. So if that comment offended people, that was not my intention, and I apologize. I'm actually going to edit out that comment, because I don't want the discussion to become about that instead of the original topic.
