Taking the money and purchasing pot from Frank. [Spoilers]

[Lilothestitch16]

Why are Taking the money and purchasing pot from Frank the Unpopular Decisions in Life is Strange Before the Storm? I thought that’s something Chloe Price would do since she is a rebel.

I absolutely agree, but to be honest, stealing merch and cash from your "favorite band" is a ♥♥♥♥ move even for Chloe :D

It's unpopular for a few reasons I'd say.

1. Stealing is wrong, and even though Chloe is in her rebelious stage, I expect a lot of people will still believe her to be at least decent enough to not steal from people (The handicap fund in S1 is an entirely different matter, much later into her life when things have gotten even worse for her)

2. You see that it'll have consequences, which could mean any number of things, but there's always that lingering fear that it'll be something bad.

3. The preview for Ep.2 is someone shouting at Chloes door for his money, not the same guy but the same could happen for that situation as well.

4. They'd rather give it to Joyce

5. They'd rather keep it to see if they can pay off the guy in the Ep.2 preview

I'm with OP on this. I stole the money and bought the pot because that's exactly what Chloe would've done.

The thing is, if people don't take the money, they don't get the opportunity to drop some in Joyce's purse.*

*This action may have consequences.

Episode 2 will be a cross over with breaking bad with the "wheres my money ♥♥♥♥♥" being jesse pinkman

It is not stealing from your "favorite band" instead it is stealing from someone who is very likely making money off of that favorite band and not sending any of that to the band itself...

Besides that is what the different save points are actually for, you can have one game going where you didn't steal the money and buy the pot and another where you did...

People just choose what they think is right, even though Chloe may actually wants to take the money to buy pot

And TBH, $20 is a ripoff.

No wifin' in the club!

Which is exactly what I did.

Are there any clues that guy is not affiliated with the band? Because usually, if you go to a free (!) concert and there's a guy in the entrance area selling merch, he's most likely working for the band, and this is how the band makes (any) money (at all).

Anyway, it's not important, but to answer the OP's question: that's why I didn't steal from him the first time around.

[Maviba]

Because its not honest. Chloe might be a scrounger, but not a thief

[xabungle]

I stole it and gave it to her mom. But yes stealing is bad , but Chloe is no Angel. I am sure this decision will bite me in the bum .

[BloodySin]

I think for many people the case was like mine: I just didn't know you could steal the money. I saw the handbrake thing, but it just felt like way too much trouble and risk, even for Chloe. She had just got to the concert, getting caught and kicked out would be a major bummer.

[CZBGR Icepick]

Either way, if you steal the money, you already stole the shirt.

By the same moral implications, you don't steal the shirt, then you don't get the extra outfit and the special dialogues that go with it.

Not sure but I just got the feeling that the guy was not legit and I immediately wanted to steal one of the shirts when i found out he wanted $20 for one...

[RE-L124C41]

Taking the shirt and the money from that waste of skin ripoff d1ouchebag was ok. Didn't see it as stealing. Just a reminder that he should look for a decent job once in a while.
And considering the LiS handicap fund, Chloe is totally fine with leaving it where it is after Max encourages here to do so. I don't see Chloe as that rotten as OP. She is still a pretty decent person (admittedly deep inside her).
