So you are okay with people stealing from you, as long as they're poor?
>Let the market fix their broken supply chains
There is resistance in this thread to instating armed guards, stating that it's dystopian to enforce property laws.
- dls2016 5y agoShoplifting is the act of stealing from a retailer, not an individual. Yes, I make a very big distinction between the two. I just don’t see why corporations in the US can get away with so much (shoplifting and wage theft are both estimated to cost the economy $40bln per year) and I’m supposed to feel bad someone is stealing from Amazon or Louis Vuitton? Doesn’t mean I’m “ok” with shoplifting, I simply feel it should be a civil matter like wage theft. Railroads have always had their own police, so I’m not sure the reluctance. Retail/supply chain theft is a cat-and-mouse game… always had been, always will be. Step up enforcement, improve the locks, house the homeless and move on.
- dallashoxton 5y ago>Shoplifting is the act of stealing from a retailer, not an individual No. You can shoplift from a small business or a family owned convenience store, which is essentially stealing from an individual. Those packages on the trains belonged to individuals btw.
- dls2016 5y agoYes, and mom-and-pops commit wage theft, too. Shoplifting should be a civil matter. > Those packages on the trains belonged to individuals btw. And?
