themeatbridge, in Target says it's closing 9 stores due to theft. The crime data tells a different story.

Corporations lie about their successes and failures. What else is new?

WarmSoda,

Still a good thing to call them out on lies.

UniDestroyer, in learn to mind your own business

Step 1: rob grocery stores while complaining about billionaires Step 2: blame anyone but yourself while complaining that you are in a food desert

Sethayy,

Tell me how much is in your savings account rn.

You really believe this system is sustainable?

andymouse,

Whenever I rob a grocery store, I usually do not have time to complain about billionaires. Those things are implicitly understood by the folks around me who are blessed with average and above intelligence.

I complain about billionaires afterwards on the Internet.

Based on my statistical analysis, the take-home share of myself and my fellow robbers are too small to influence the investment decisions of large grocery chains. So no, I do not fault any of us for the predicament we are in.

athos77, in Banksy Encourages Fans to Shoplift From Guess Since Company 'Helped Themselves to My Artwork Without Asking’

Nov 18, 2022

punkisundead,

Does anyone have a follow up story of this?

Five, (edited )

Guess panicked and shut it all down. Brandalized, the graffiti commercializers, had a predictable shit take.

SirQuackTheDuck,

That myartbroker site is the weirdest thing I’ve seen today. Ending with a “no commercial use is allowed” banner but featuring many “buy Banksy” links intermixed with the article.

Almost as dumb as Brandalized’s reply to Banksy calling for a justified raid.

Five,

Adblockers are killing information industry profits. You can help.

SirQuackTheDuck,

I have an adblocker, they’re ads for the company themselves so they’re not being picked up by Ublock.

paraphrand,

Wow, this old shit has been posted in multiple places.

WhatAmLemmy, in ‘Maybe we cried too much’: Walgreens hints it exaggerated shoplifting surge

Coordinated attempt to blame the poor for inflation, when it was simply monopolization of global supply chains and corporate greed.

I don’t shoplift mainly because I avoid shops but I’ve never seen anyone shoplift food and neither have you.

Hard to tell, but this looks like a lot of really out of season and/or tropical fruits that were likely shipped (or even flown) half-way around the world. I am honestly fine with that being very expensive.

(Yes, I know that that wasn’t the point).

At least the bananas are not wrapped in plastic as well …

I’m not American, surely this is a joke or I’m missing something?

MrMakabar,
Ilflish,

I meant the $100 for that. They going to wholefoods or something?

This looks like AU$120 to me, just at a regular grocer. Dude shit’s been going through the roof the last 2 years…

Grocery shopping ROI is a skill issue, amirite?

$0 if you’re really good at self checkout.

Maeve,

Dead giveaway.

Five, in Why Lidl is a good target for shoplifters (Israel)

It should be noted that not only buying their food benefit Israel, it is often grown on internationally recognized Palestinian land stolen with violence by Israeli settlers. Centuries old olive orchards could have been uprooted to bring you those pomegranates.

stabby_cicada, in lifting expired food

To a capitalist, there is no good shoplifting. Nobody’s going to check the expiration dates on what you stole before arresting you. You took stuff off their shelves that they could have sold - come on, do you really think stores pull expired product the day it expires? - and that makes you the bad guy.

Conversely, to an anarchist, there is no bad shoplifting. Why should it matter if the store owner could make a profit off the item or not? If you’re willing to steal from the owner you’ve already decided you don’t care about his profits 😆

You’ve misunderstood the thesis of the post.

Nobody’s going to check the expiration dates on what you stole before arresting you.

Only cops can make an arrest where I am and there is only an occasional security contractor at the shops.

You don’t think the moment store staff sees and reacts that I will be able to get a word in edgewise about the date before police are even called? You don’t think the value of stolen goods is relevant when a judge enters a judgment?

You took stuff off their shelves that they could have sold

Nonsense. Not in the face of the law.

I once asked if I could get the zero waste pricing on something that was a day past expiry. They confiscated the food from me and told me they cannot sell it to me. Don’t you think it might be illegal for a grocer to knowingly and willfully sell expired food? Do you think they would actually try to present as an argument to a judge that they could have sold something that expired?

In the US, I once discovered I bought several things that expired and brought it back because I was not happy to pay regular price for expired food. They would not negotiate a markdown but took it all back and refunded the price I paid times two, and the CSR asked me to bring her to where that item was so she could remove the other expired packages.

come on, do you really think stores pull expired product the day it expires?

It’s not a conspiracy. You either have an absurd amount of confidence in their competency or an unrealistic and unhealthy presumption of malice toward customers by min wage workers just trying to get through their day. I’ve seen enough to know that they pull items when they notice. I sometimes see them carting off food and marking down food near expiry. They don’t have an inventory system that tracks expiration dates and sends notifications. This isn’t Wal·Mart – It’s a manual human effort to check all those dates which are not well visible. The reason food makes it to the date of expiry is because they sometimes miss things days earlier that they need to mark down 30%. I’m not sure how to convince you there is no conspiracy. They are busy. I never see them standing around or idling.
