When the food is multiple grocery bags full of steaks I’m a little less inclined to a charitable view.
That said, I’m still not going to do anything about it. Intervening on the behalf of a grocery store is insane, even if I were opposed to what’s happening. Not my monkeys, not my circus.
I also don’t do anything to be clear. But I do get annoyed when people steal more than they could consume clearly to resell it for profit… because that expense is passed along to paying customers who actually pay for their steaks.
Like, there isn’t a chance in fucking hell the major grocery chain is just taking that loss right? So they will ensure profits remain high, regardless of the rate of shoplifting taking place. So my steak costs go up.
But I’ll take that to being a snitch any day. Just trying to provide a more balanced outlook as to why paying consumers might get upset when they see a shoplifter at the store they pay for stuff at. Because it actually does impact them in some way.
Stealing food? I didn’t see shit.
Absolutely yes, but also, choose your targets. Walmart ain’t gonna miss it. The local bodega will.
People who shoplift are only considering a single factor: what’s the likelihood this store ends up caring and puts me in jail eventually.
Turns out, plenty of stores will NEVER stop you provided you dont exceed a certain dollar amount or try to walk off with large appliances.
Its not hard to find a stores policy around theft and prevention.
Its a coincidence that big box stores are stolen from more, not a moral thing.

“Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat, otherwise we’d get along!”
Riffraff! Street rat! I don’t buy that! If only they’d look closer… Would they see a poor boy? No, siree They’d find out there’s so much more to me
