Shit if they're stealing a TV from major corporate retailer that has pushed out all the local competition: I didn't see that shit, either.

Oh and people who need baby formula from Walmart: The locks used on those cabinets use a universal key. Obtain one and even if they lock up the baby formula, you can still get it. Even if you intend to pay, it's a time saver if your Walmart is like mine and nobody ever shows up to assist you at the locked cabinets.

The health and baby stuff sections are like "am I even in the same store?"

Ahh yes moral licensing. The finest of ethical theories...

The rest of us proceed forward, and you are ignored, as usual. 😎

When there are no real arguments to support your dribble 🙄😬

You think you're hurting the corporation, but you're hurting its employees. If a location becomes unprofitable because of too much theft, it just closes, and now all those people are out of a job because of entitled thieves' greed.

Also, the formula is locked up because people steal it to turn a profit fencing it, not to feed anyone who needs it out of the goodness of their heart.

Those people being out of a job could very well be a blessing in disguise. If you work in retail long enough, you know what this means.

Oh yeah, I agree. Those "jobs" they provide are burden on the taxpayers, as well as driving out small businesses.

I'd bet anything you don't have the guts to say this horseshit to one of their faces.

He doesn't have to. I worked in retail before and I felt like celebrating after I quit.

It's not the thieves fault that people need to sell their soul to a corporation to live.
