If I see someone shoplifting necessities, no I didn't. If I see someone shoplifting stupid luxury items, maybe I did, maybe I didn't. Depends on the situation. If it's a dumbass white kid who thinks they're being funny, I sure as fuck did.
White people can be poor, or motivated by any other force motivating any other ethnicity thief.
And then low cost grocery stores close and neighbors starve. How about you help them pay for it since you are there? Is a little personal ownership over the things you see too much for you?
How about the government does better to ensure that it’s people don’t starve? Or maybe companies should pay their employees more instead of funnelling money to people who are already more than set for life?
We're talking about you and your actions. Additionally, you are making the problem worse.
What does this even mean?
While that might be the only direct result, you're also assuming that A) it's only taking place in major chain stores and B) that the effects won't include price hikes for everyone to compensate for that slight dip in profits.
In reality, corporations have showed us they're never going to just "take the L". If something negatively impacts their bottom line, they'll make up for it by forcing that financial burden onto their customers.
And if you see someone shoplift food/formula then no, the absolute fuck you didn't.
This only applies to food and basic necessities
Yeah nah fuck those guys. More shrink means my hours get cut.
"Shrink" is just another way to spell "your boss is part of the system that bleeds you dry".
Shrinkage is already taken into account as a business expense.
But more shrink isn't.
If you would take the boot out of your mouth for literally one second, you would know that shrink is decreasing in almost all available metrics in the entire retail industry.
Facts don’t care about your feelings, corpo dog.
Lol I was responding to a specific comment. Take a deep breath, baby boy.
