    This is what happens when 100% of shoppers are treated like the 1-4% who steal.

      Not to mention that employees are responsible for some of the theft too

      Theft is a huge problem in some locations. Some people have no problem filling up a cart with whatever they need and walking out the door. Employees don’t get paid enough to get involved. Cops only show up afterwards. Even if they catch the culprit, there arent any repercussions.

        And yet theft rates are the same as they have pretty much always been.

        With the increase in prices for everything from food to housing, and the greed of large corps being completely ignored by governments, I honestly don’t gaf about shoplifting food or clothing. If I see it happening I walk away.

            True. I may have just been remembering back to when I was a kid living on the streets and stealing food to survive.
