What is a five finger discount?

The term "five finger discount" is slang for stealing or shoplifting. It is used to refer to taking items without paying for them. This phrase likely originated from the idea that one can steal something with just their hand (or five fingers) without being noticed. Engaging in a five finger discount is illegal and unethical, and can result in consequences such as fines, criminal charges, and damage to one's reputation. It is always best to pay for items legally and support businesses in a fair and honest manner.
