Re: fraud
Always looking for an opportunity for name calling.
Why is it name calling to call some one who admits to breaking the law a criminal?

Re: are you one of those French Canadians?
A criminal is someone who commits a crime, you admit to breaking the law, therefore you are a criminal. It's a simple statement of fact not an insult.

Re: YAY back on topic.
I think it is dishonest. And I know it is illegal, but I do not think it constitutes theft. I think the crime is Fraud, if the crime were theft then I would not have an argument.
If by fraudulent means you pay $1 for something that is priced at $10 you are stealing $9 from the store.

Re: fraud as theft
Not if the cost of the product is $0.50, they are still making a profit, instead of the gouged deceptive (fraud) price of $10.
The cost of the product to the store is irrelevant. By fraudulently not paying the full price you are stealing from the store. Any non-criminal customer would pay the full price for the product, by not paying the full price you are depriving the store of money, you are stealing through fraudulent means.
​
I could say I out frauded a frauder.
You could say that, it wouldn't be true, but you could say it.
​
Not a fan of capitalism?
Are you? By avoiding paying the full price for a product you are denying the store it's profit on that product.
