Big business has always had the ability to write off millions in tax losss against, shoplifting, theft by staff, and theft by customers. They are insured against the losses too, so its a win win if a shoplifter steals something.
Im pro shoplifter. they are necessary for society, they provide moral guidance through the ten commandments. Thou shall not steal, unless we are hungry, or desperate to feed our alcohol and heroin addiction.
The campaign against shoplifters has been going for quite a while now.
Its the same as taking away out rights in the name of protecting our children.
Sainsbury’s can’t say they are installing a surveillence system to protect our children. So its the next scary thing, “shoplifters”.
I feel sorry for the granny’s watching the BBC news, frightened to go out in case a shoplifter steals their handbag.
Can’t be that many out there roaming the wild streets of Airstrip One. Lurking outside multimillion pound annual profit supermarkets.
I am 69 years old and have only seen one shoplifter in all my life.

At certain point taking food is a correct choice and i have zero issue with it.
I never seen nothing 🐸
If they push me down far enough, I will do it.
I treat like piracy, people should what is right for them economically or ideologically.

Haha, it’s been coming for ages. I’m pretty bored of being treated like some kind of cattle criminal in Sainsbury’s, having to go through their gated self checkout system (because it costs too much to employ a human) and obviously scan my receipt to get out because goodness knows after getting absolutely rinsed on prices I have to prove that I’ve paid too.
Fucking scumbag execs, hope they choke on the profits 👍

In US, you can just skip all the bullshit security legally.
It is a them problem, they need to prove you stole.
I generally tell security politely I get that their owner makes them do this but I don't have to comply with the request. If they got a problem call the police and I will wait to sort it out.
They just wave me out.

Mm but then you’re in the US which I think is worse than Sainsbury’s
