If I see anyone shoplifting anything from a big box that makes millions or billions in profits, no I didn't

Honestly I don't care if they're walking out with a shopping cart full of tvs, it's just not my problem.

Yeah, besides the fact that people might have to shoplift to even be able to eat at this point. YOU ARE NOT A FREELANCE SECURITY GUARD Don't go jumping on people stealing shit from Walmart. It's not your responsibility. People who do this are such psychos!
Avatar
Especially considering that a lot of people's idea of "freelance security guards" include chasing down any black person who has a full cart, regardless of whether it was all paid for.

Gotta pay rent somehow.

Indeed I didn't, unless it's from a local grocer which surprisingly exist in the far reaches of WNY. Otherwise, steal away. Especially from Walmart because fuck em'.

Let him go. He or she has apparently no money to buy food. #CapitalismDoesntWork.

I'll be 100% honest. I've never seen anyone shoplift. Only CCTV seems to be able to.

And now you all have to live like this

My Target spent a bunch of money installing those. Then they refused to change staffing so no one could access anything. Now they are all just left wide open at all hours

They will probably just shut their business down and take it somewhere else eventually like many have been in areas where theft is not prosecuted like in CA

Weird, I thought they had stores in California. Guess not

Yes, because a greedy big box store wouldn't raise the price to cover the shrink... Your mentality is infantile. You end up stealing from the paying customers. It would not be in their best interest to let you do it.
Avatar
You think someone acting against their “best interest” out of empathy is infantile? You sound delightful.
Avatar
Don't put words in my mouth. I can't steal so you can't either. If you're empathetic then buy it for them. I'd you say nothing then you are abetting and take responsibility for the fallout. So while you won't mind $0.10 more for a loaf of bread, I do and others might. You don't speak for us.

How could I when they were already there?

Quote the original text, exactly as I have written it and then demonstrate your point. Otherwise you're just twisting words and making stuff up like it was a fact.
Avatar
Do you really think they weren’t going raise prices anyways?
Avatar
Defeatist. It factors into it, yes. Can you go kill someone who is terminally ill and argue that they were going to die anyway?
Avatar
We’re talking about multibillion dollar corporations who still made record profits over the last couple of years even with shoplifting factored in.
Avatar
And what does that have to do with encouraging theft?
Avatar
Because you’re defending multi-billion dollar corporations who steal way more between wage theft, subsidizing low wages with welfare, and price gouging from people who are finding it harder to afford to live.
Avatar
As someone who's worked retail, and specifically had to be concerned with shrink, that's not how this works.
Avatar
They absorb the cost but if it reaches a certain level then they will find a way to recoup the money in the long run. This is not usually a decision made at the store level. They don't need to tell the store any of their plans. I won't give anyone ammo to steal things.
Avatar
They get it back in wage theft
Avatar
They never factored that into their liabilities. So untrue. For example, if I never give you money and never promised to then how can I say I'm going to improve my margins by saying I'm not going to give you money? It was never a factor. Back on point, stealing is not an option. Never was.

Stealing is always an option

Yeah, children should just starve. It's fine

See something, say "good job" quietly under your breath.

I ratted out a shoplifter in a grocery store once. He was a douchey looking teenager stealing energy drinks. I have no regrets.

God (greatest shoplifter in the universe) will strike you down with the force of ten thousand suns
Which is why the prices will go up.
Avatar
Buddy the prices were going up before I started shoplifting
