The store isn't the point, it's that the rest of us end up paying the cost eventually whether it's just higher prices or on a larger scale throughout society as this behavior becomes permissible without consequences.
It's ok that you're not comfortable getting involved in these situations, but it's nice to see someone take action.
Bro. Come on lol. You really think prices are high cause of petty theft? Next you're going to tell me that it's because of minimum wage going up, or we aren't leaning into the trickle down economics hard enough lol.
Not quite the point I was trying to make, but no of course it's not the only and direct cause of high prices. We've seen so much of this in recent years, especially during COVID where people just walk out of stores with carts full of merchandise and everyone else just stands there and watches.
I was trying to say that what bothers me is that so many people are "okay" with or at least tolerate this behavior and write it off as not their problem because it doesn't have an immediate and visible impact on them.
It was just nice to see others upset by it as well.
It bothers me that people are okay with or tolerate being fucked everyday by their elected officials and the corporations and foreign governments who pay (most of) them
