    Ex-retail worker here that spent a lot of time in aisles, counting inventory, etc.

    Steal whatever you want; I don’t care. Not my job to look after that shit and I wasn’t paid enough for it anyway.

    YOU’RE STEALING OUR TRASH! REEEEEEEEE!

    If you clip a healthy plant without asking the owner first, you’re a dick. But if I see you do it at a store, no I didn’t. Cause the store made $2,550,000 while I was typing this.

      Just do it at places like Home Depot or Lowe’s. Don’t do it at your neighborhood garden center.

    Maybe it is illegal in the sense that some succulents ARE invasive species

    I do know that people go to garden shops looking for free material for growth lying on the ground, which id argue is unnecessary. Most people who own plants or a garden will happily share with you the fact if you show the ittyest bittiest piece of interest in them, and also share plants as well.

    Hell I regularly give out succulent saplings for free or as a gift to friends and people I meet.

    So yeah, you can just ask man, it’s no biggie

      Someone in my town has a big clump of some kind of tall ruffly flower that stands on a stalk amidst tall upwards-sticking blade leaves. Very neat and it seems to grow quickly to fill the area every spring. I’ve been too nervous to ask for a bit of it, but maybe I can buck up some courage and ask.
