    Not that it’s my place to say, but preferably people shoplift from Walmart and big retail rather than Mom and Pop stores.

      My objection is that shoplifting contributes to food deserts. But hey, I’m just some capitalist shill or something.

        How does shoplifting at Walmart contribute to food deserts? Srs question

          Retail outlets will tolerate a certain amount of product loss (shoplifting) as just a cost of doing business. But if an area has so much shoplifting that the location is losing money, it will eventually get shut down. It doesn’t matter if they’re a massive big box retailer or a mom and pop store. Stores cannot stay open if they are being bled dry by shoplifting, and they will leave eventual.

            If frippa’s efforts leads to any store shutting down I’d be impressed. But yes you have a good point. However it isn’t limited to food deserts. Like it could lead to tech deserts if ppl keep on robbing an apple store

              Alone, of course one person wouldn’t. But if shoplifting is rampant in an area, it absolutely will make a difference. There’s a mall near me that has slowly been hollowed out because the area had an increase in shoplifting. Retail typically runs on very low profit margins, so it’s surprisingly easy to push them into being unprofitable.

              I focused on food deserts because (1) food is a critical human need and (2) food must be bought frequently. Traveling to a consumer electronics store is something one would typically do only occasionally. Grocery shopping tends to be somewhere around weekly. But yes, it would equally apply to consumer electronics or other stores.

                What stops the store from stepping up security similar to the way gas stations operate? where you tell them what you want and they bring it to you, and the staff don’t let you into the store.

          They are still buying and selling commodities produced with the exploitation of the workers, and even if they have let’s sya 1 employee, According to the labor theory of value, that’s an employee exploited (paid less than what he produces) AND EVEN if they don’t have external employees, F- .

            In hydrarchy, the captain is paid x2 of regular crew (iirc). In worker co-ops it varies, but the highest pay worker is paid x5.

            In like amazon i heard jeff bezos makes x364 ish of the lowest paid worker.

            If captain pay = regular crew pay, then no exploitation?

        Sure but one has far more means to exploit far more people, whose employees I would assume are far less motivated to catch shoplifters.

        Can we establish a hierarchy of targets to shoplift from?

        1. Tesla, anything Elon owns

        2. Amazon fraud, anything Bezos owns

        Basically write out all the billionaires in order of richest to poorest and that should be the lift list

    I work in retail and we have shoplifters all the time because we are in a shady area. Lots of arrests but some people get away. I have doubts even with the rampant shoplifting the place will ever shut down. I don’t see a huge issue about having a community for it. It’s not going to enable more successful shoplifting.

      If you work for Amazon and they don’t pay you $100, legal.

      If you work for Amazon and you take $100 extra, illegal.

      It should be same rules for both.
