If I saw someone shoplifting anything I wouldn’t lol none my business

[-] maynarkh@feddit.nl 58 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I'll start caring about shoplifting as soon as it becomes remotely the same magnitude of a problem as wage theft.

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

for as long as wage theft has been an unrecognized unremedied problem.

Only time I'll say something is a mom and pop store. Then the thief is being shitty. Go steal from a Walmart, not here.

[-] daltotron@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I dunno. Oftentimes desperate people are more liable to steal from those stores than to steal from Walmart because the security is more lax. people like to say that, oh, Walmart builds it into their budgets, the theft, so they do nothing about it, but that's totally false, there are plenty of instances where Walmart or whatever other shitass big box store will call the cops or try to detain you with their personal security. Not to say that people should rob local businesses over Walmart if they have the choice, right, but that's why people might do it.

The right answer. You never know what people have on them. I personally don't want to get shot or stabbed. Corporations have insurance, AND make enough profit for me to care.

Only time I'd disagree with this is if it was a local family/co-op ran store. I couldn't care less about the bottom line of a corporation

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

I might if they were bad at it, to try and help. I certainly wouldn't snitch
