      Because people who live in areas where this shit happens regularly dont encourage it. Its scum behaviour that destroys the community.

        Bro, it’s a little food. They’re not knocking over shelves and burning places to the ground. Walmart can get fucked, as far as I’m concerned Walmart created their own problem.

          Its not a little food people walk out with shopping carts full of meat and other expensive items. Its not just Walmart this affects every store.

            How do the losses compare to the profits? How do the profits compare to charitable donations? How do the profits compare to taxation? How do the profits compare to average employee wage? You recognize the side you’re taking, right? You’re trying to adhere to a moral line when dealing with a blatently immoral entity.

              These are not losses. They’ll just push up the price of goods based on their chance of being stolen.

              You’re not stealing from the store, you’re stealing from everyone else that actually pays for the products.

              Unless you’re stealing from a small shop that doesn’t have the time and resources to calculate price based on theft. In which case, you are an asshole for stealing from a small business.

                they’ll raise prices no matter what you do. in fact, having worked at walmart before, the pickup department generates more waste and shrinkage than people stealing.

                  Funny how that only works one way. It’s never “they are gonna tax me anyway, so I’ll pay double the taxes”.

                  If you are not fine with paying more than you should, why are you fine with prices increasing more than they should?

            Companies unloading customers pockets and not paying living wages. At some point it’s going to be expected you’re going to get shit stolen. Its also insured.

            You’re probably the same person to vote against SNAP and free school lunch, then still bitch when people who can’t afford to eat steal it. Either help them, or prepare to get fucked.

        Do you live in such an area?

        If you were make an ordered list of things that destroy a community, where does “petty theft of groceries” fall on the list? What other things are included?

              To feed people who dont have money to buy food… So they dont have to steal.
