Comment on ‘It’s organised looting’: UK in grip of a shoplifting epidemic, say store owners

  Actually when they tried to install electronic locks on the carts so they’d lock up if you went too far away, and the next day someone had stolen all the carts was also a big moment of local pride.

    And I bet that same community rails over the unfairness when the company does a blanket price rise to compensate for the equipment losses. Good job guys, stick it to the man!!

        Of course, but there’s taking action and there’s shooting yourself in the foot

      The price will raise regardless, because thats’s how monoplies and price cartels work. They just blame their price gouging on the people trying to survive, same as always, and rubes with latent goosetepping instincts believe them, same as always.

      If they had done that I would hope my community would immediately steal everything not nailed down.

  Proud of someone for damaging property? What a shitty community, honestly.

    Whoever did it saved the rest of us a huge amount of hassle. The only thing hurt was the bottom line of the shop that decided to annoy everyone for no good reason
