FUCK ALL SHOPLIFTERS!!
People who defend shoplifting from stores. I had a minor debate with someone who was pridefully going on about how we should steal from stores to affect the profits of the CEO and “The Man”.
I had to inform them that stealing from stores won’t necessarily affect the payroll of the corporation. It will only harm the stores and the employees inside. Because each and every store is operating on a budget of their own and what they sell determines said budget.
So if groups of people decided to steal from that store, sapping up the budget and hurting sales, then it’s going to hurt the pay of the people working there. Making shoplifters look both like an asshole and a dumbass in one.
Yes it does matter. Thieves affect that too. Man, this is what I’m talking about, these idiots going out of their way falling over on eachother to defend shoplifting. Your arguments suck.
You are making moral conclusions, and making factual statements that are untrue or exaggerated.
How much do you think this affects prices? The higher operating costs and losses are absorbed across all of the products on the shelves. Do you think that’s noticable? Do you have any real idea of what the operating costs of a grocery store are?

Prices being higher drives theft more than the other way around.

Show me some numbers. Until now it just seems like you made a snap judgement and have no real basis to your beliefs.
