As someone who stole from the supermarket all the time in college, I just wanna say that the need is starting to foment in recent times for me. The social contract is growing cracks now that I can’t see retirement and financial stability in my late 30s.
I consider it a public service to steal from businesses that destroy local economies, engage in union breaking and lobby against basic human rights.
They’re putting armed guards at supermarkets near me right now lol.
Yep, our kroger looks like a prison/school entrance right now. They call it Fred Meyer here and it used to be at least nice to go to. They've gone full walmart.
What value of groceries/items do you need to steal before they feel the need to use their weapons against you?
Depends on your skin color.
Yup. A cart full of groceries if you're white, a can of soup if you're anything a slightly shade darker.
They have to protect the hoarde from the people they stole it from.
Jeez, how much did you steal for this to make business sense for the supermarket?
However much, you need to double that amount so they can afford to hire a second security guard.
Soon, we will all be employed at the supermarket. That's when we turn around and point two fingers at their eyes and then at our own and say "we are the supermarket now".
Walmart hires the city police btw lol. Might have something to do with this.
