None of these companies are worried about me when they jack their prices up while people are struggling. I don’t know why I would ever give a shit about them. I’m just here to buy moisturizer and stay in my lane.
Here is some of the Loblaws grocery store markup that was leaked.
I’m not in a position to tell if someone can afford to eat. They might look like they’re employed or be dressed expensively, but people can fall on hard times suddenly
So I’m not going to report anyone for anything except crimes against individuals
Thats what food banks are for. Theft is illegal and unethical.
Letting people starve is worse, throwing food and faking shortages to raise prices should be punished by death.
I agree as long as the death part is a joke
The only way you think stealing to live is unethical is if you value property more than life.
Unless you live where I do, where people steal mass amounts of junk food from convenience stores and then resell it at the nighttime markets to our struggling, marginalized, population of unhoused folks at an exploitative mark-up.
Because that is actively harming me, and the community I live in.
Though even with all that, confronting or reporting them isn’t helpful. But if asked, and I saw it, I would say so.
Hey, this is a thread about supporting shoplifters not price gougers.
What?
I’ve watched people shoplift food several times, and they weren’t poor people just looking to eat. I watched someone run out of a M&S store and into an awaiting car with a huge bag full of meat around Christmas time, probably several hundred pounds worth.
If someone was stealing a loaf of bread or something for themselves, I didn’t see a thing, but let’s not pretend that people aren’t stealing to make some money. Lots of people steal stuff to resell, or because they’re just dicks…
let’s not pretend that people aren’t stealing to make some money
When you rob one grocery store of a 10 lb brisket, its called shoplifting.
But when you rob every grocery store of 10% of their net revenue, its called paying your shareholders a dividend.
You can give a shit about two things at once. Imagine that lol.
but let’s not pretend that people aren’t stealing to make some money.
Perhaps it’s safe to say they’re poor. Poor people often don’t have enough money. Still sounds like a job of desperation.
Desperation to avoid getting a real, legal job, maybe.
Perhaps it’s safe to say they’re poor.
It is not. I’ve seen these scumbags’ subreddit, I’ve seen their Tumblr tags. They’re not poor, they’re just scumbag thieves.
An actual poor person stealing necessities because they have no other choice does NOT have this ridiculous entitled mindset.
If I saw someone shoplifting anything I wouldn’t lol none my business
