Question:
Aaron is a man of limited intelligence, he frequently does not think like others and has strong views such as a disbelief in private property rights. He doesn't see it as problematic when a person with limited means takes advantage of a corporation worth millions of pounds. Whilst doing his shopping in Tesco Aaron picks 6 Tesco's finest piccolo tomatoes. When he gets to the self-checkout he deliberately keys in 1 large Tesco basic tomatoes when weighing the Piccolo's. At the same time he keys in that he has had one small plastic bag but in reality has taken 1 large hessian premium shopping bag. Whilst on the way out of the store Aaron spots a clothes collection bin and decides to help himself to a rather nice looking "Childish" hoodie. He is stopped about 100 meters down the road by a police car that had been summoned by the store. He is interviewed and claims the following in relation to the food and bag "everybody does it, it's accepted as normal". In relation to the hoodie he states that "it was thrown away, today's society is a throwaway society and he was only ensuring that it was reused rather than dumped in a landfill".
