Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

To be fair, if much of the money goes straight up the chain to corporate, then stealing is still hurting corporate's bottom line. It's just that it's also doing a lot of damage to the local branch, which could be hurting locals and creating food deserts.
(I'm not a theft advocate, btw.)
It's common in restaurants, but not so much in supermarkets. I think the biggest/most well known supermarket that franchises is sav a lot.
Safeway, Kroger, King Sooper etc are not and in fact own multiple brands. Kroger for instance owns not Only Kroger stores but Fred Meyer and King Soopers and a few others.
They're free for the pickings as far as I'm concerned along with Walmart, I might not steal myself but I'll be turning the other way rq if I see someone else doing it
Franchising big supermarkets is totally unheard of in my country.
