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.

And yet Google tells me that M&S has a revenue of £11.93 billion.

So why are you caring about them losing a few hundred of that?

Because others can't buy meat because some bellends wanted to steal it to sell during Christmas?

I don't give a fuck about M&S losing profit. I do give a fuck about obvious crime that puts people out...

Are you unaware of the amount of meat that gets thrown out by grocery stores? In the US, it’s billions of pounds a year.

I highly doubt they ran out of the store with an amount that did more than make someone’s job easier that night, or force someone to pivot their dinner to a different cut of meat.

Like, I get it. I do. It’s a lot of money, and it’s against the law. But the idea that someone is going to go hungry because of the action is ridiculous.
