So one of the girls I work with, her brother-in-law works for pizza plus. We were gonna order a pizza, and have it delivered but they were done closed. About an hour later her brother- in-law comes through were we work, and I start telling him all this and he tells me he can get us a pizza tomorrow because he gets them quite often. So I asked him if he got free stuff; I pretty much already knew he didn't, and he said "no not technically". To me that is stealing because he isn't supposed to do that. Instead of me saying that's OK I don't want the pizza I just responsed oh OK. I was afraid of say that because I figured he would ask why and then I would have had to tell him I think its stealing and wrong. I was afraid of being made fun of. So anyway I know I can fix this because I am gonna tell the girl I work with to just tell him I don't want the pizza. If she asks why I will just tell her. But have I still sinned by not telling him I didn't want it in the first place?
i messes up again

Paul healed and delivered so many people, yet he was unable to heal himself of his thorn and thus lived with it for some time. I often wonder if he might have been healed sooner had someone had the ba--s - 'scuse me I mean faith to walk up to him and lay a hand. Employees may get free meals but it's intended for EMPLOYEES. You know what he is doing is stealing, now it's time to man up and in faith tell him so. Who cares if they laugh? Because you know God is smiling. And who do you want to please more?
Your assuming he's stealing, but maybe he's not? He said "no, not technically", which could mean he gets a discount or maybe he's just a nice guy who volunteered to get you a pizza. There might be situations where a customer doesn't pick-up a pizza, or at closing time the pizza bar has left-overs, in which case they let the employees take it instead of wasting the food by throwing it out. I kinda doubt he would risk his job to steal a pizza, its more likely that its 'not technically free', but there are occasions or situations when he can get one? Just tell him to get it, but don't steal it.

I too have worked in many food service industries over the years, and some offered free food (most actually) while I was on shift, or at least at a greatly discounted price, but some didn't. Your experience may be different from mine in this. Based solely on your words within your original post and this one.....the "no not technically" could mean he is willing to give you his free or discounted pizza for that shift, so that he "looks cool" in front of you as well. You don't know his full meaning, you're only assuming, and while you could be correct, you could also be wrong......
With that in mind, if you're feeling guilty, then talk to him and offer to pay him for the pizza....who knows, he might truly appreciate your integrity there. Only by talking to him will you know his intentions.
Peace!!
