    Honestly I don’t even really care that much that she’s shoplifting, I find it hard to sympathize with a multi-billion-dollar company losing a small fraction of their profits.

    But then she insists that she’s not actually a shoplifter, and brags about her income and how she’s a great person as if she’s trying to separate herself from “the bad shoplifters”, which gives me the same vibes as the article “The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion”.

      I know right? If anything she’s worse; she’s the one not doing it out of necessity. She actually has a realistic choice.

      Not that I have much sympathy for the supermarkets but fuck me, don’t pretend you’re better than the next person doing it, especially when they might only be doing it out of necessity.

      The multi billion dollar company loses nothing. If shoplifting increases they’ll just raise the prices for the rest of us.

        prices will be raised regardless. record profits? raise prices. record growth? raise prices. cost of production goes down? raise prices.
