      yeah someone smarter than me can remind us how much money walmart workers lose to wage theft each year vs how much walmart loses in theft

      honestly im mad at people who dont steal. i steal all the time. just trying to get back some of those tax dollars that pay walmart’s employees for them so their shareholders can go take trips to epstein island. tbh tho i see nothing wrong with stealing from ‘mom and pop’ shops in a lot of cases either. unless you know or can visibly observe they aren’t treating their staff like shit a lot of the time it’s even worse than working for big corporations. mom and pop drive 50,000 dollar vehicles each while their workers cant afford a highway worthy used toyota newer than 1995– and im speaking from life experience.

      i object to stealing from individuals. when i was younger and didnt know better i did that sometimes and as an adult i feel bad about it still

      please no need to call us heroes. i’m only doing my part to serve the proletariat. any dollar taken back by the poor from the capitalist class is a small victory for all poors

      plus im not paying 10 bucks for deodorant when its so easy to steal. they’re literally asking for it to happen by the way. when i was a kid deodorant had those magnetic strips that activated the sensors on their labels. they dont have those anymore lol. companies cheaped out on labels and now they’re just there for the taking

    If you can show me a Walmart where shoplifting has caused them to lose money over time, like, in a month a Walmart made a large loss because of shoplifting, I’ll show you a Walmart that’s lying about their numbers.

    That’s not a thing. Shoplifting is a negligible cost to almost all businesses, especially ones as big as Walmart.

      yeah you have to think, with how much any walmart makes in profits in a day, how much would mfs be having to steal out of the limited amount of realistically shopliftable goods in the store, almost all of which would be under like 30 bucks an item cause expensive shit is usually big or locked up. there are exceptions but generally speaking.

      lets say even like 5000 dollars a day in loss to theft at a walmart, which is obviously nothing to that single store and even less to the walmart corporation; there would have to be literally dozens of shoplifters a day if not over a hundred stealing higher priced items. and how often do you see people getting caught stealing at walmart? almost never. either it’s not happening or their security is absolutely useless. it just doesnt add up.

      and i don’t even buy that shoplifting is going up. these mfs raised prices like crazy so even if shoplifting remained the same or went down their amount in loss could be explained by that easily

      its all theater for the already indoctrinated to add material “proof” to enforce the capitalist charade

      yeah when i was 19 or so my dad was out of work, i couldn’t find work, so i was stealing USB drives from walmart to sell on craigslist (this was back when they were like 60-75 bucks for the 64gb ones)

      as a kid i stole video games because i wanted them but we couldn’t afford them. same with yugioh and pokemon cards and shit. a lot of people see a group of 4th graders stealing pokemon cards and think they’re bad kids but the rich white kids at our school got it handed to them by their parents and then capitalist society expects people like us to be deprived of joys like that even as children. ask any poor child in america before they’ve been brainwashed by all the bullshit what they think of poverty and their situation. being poor sucks and you either fix it or people need to get theirs however they can and we’re only reacting to our circumstances

        These type of people are hilarious because they often chase thieves and then gets fired by manager because Walmart doesnt want to get sued.
