I don't approve of shoplifting, but their cute new word makes me want to try it.

My father enjoys grafting plants, he has an apple tree with 15 types of apples on it. Come to find out he's been snipping tiny branches off apple trees at Home Depot....

I love how their primary focus here is teaching you the term and only secondary concern is anti-theft.
Theft of garbage. Sure, store owner, whatever.
Great… the pirates now have a new argument to beat everyone to death with.
Sounds like a them problem.
this is legal.
Shouldn't have given it a fun portmanteau name, then.
Truly it should be potlifting though.
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.
Are we talking about the 450 square meter store that looks like an industrial warehouse, or the 12 square meter handcrafted-everything boutique?
Cause if it's the former, I didn't see you shoplift a whole ass plant and if it's the latter and I see you clip the tiniest part of a plant, I'm calling you out loudly.
It's a dick move to pinch leaves if for no other reason that someone else may want to buy that plant, and you're damaging it. Enough people do it, it's a dead plant.
Leaves fallen to the floor? Boutique or not, fair game. If you're willing to propagate from a leaf, you're probably not going to be buying whole plants anyway, and it doesn't hurt the store.

This sign is giving me ideas
If you're already buying a plant, add the leaf / trimming into the soil of the plant you're buying. It helps obfuscate it from staff.
So I have been told....
Life inherently steals. We steal each others carbon when we die.
Hand over your carbon, and no one gets hurt!
No hydrogen, no oxygen. Just the carbon.
I'll give you my entire carbon stick up the ass....its fun, hold on...no, that's my ass. Hold on, I know this one. Oh man! I need some help. Could you please? With your lips is better, no teeth. Hey! I'm in charge! That's my ass again! Fine! Have it your way!
It’s one thing to ban snipping off nodes and such but fallen fuckin succulent leaves? Get the fuck out of here lol

I fully support this sign. I think I'll print up a few dozen copies, and post them at every garden center in the area.
