  And then raise prices after because, "We have to account for that loss!"

    Corporation bosses want to increase profits again:

    “We’ve already used Covid.”

    “We’ve already used war in Ukraine.”

    “We’ve already used climate change.”

    “How about increasing looting… to increase prices?”

  You’re right that they’ll take it into account, but there are other steps they’ll take before shutting: more stuff going behind the counter, etc.
  I think the logical conclusion, if things get steadily more dystopian, are supermarkets that look like a giant off-licence: all staff and product behind barriers.

  Unfortunately that will come eventually. Shops that have too much loss just get closed
