Yep, it certainly is, but hardly anyone ever talks about it, especially not in mainstream media. Why? Because the ones doing it, i.e. the corporations, own the media. They're not going to tell on themselves. Instead they'll gaslight and lie about supposedly "rampant" retail theft that is nowhere near as widespread as they like to claim and constantly report. And gullible people believe them because it's on the news, it must be real, right?

I love seeing Cody’s Showdy getting talked about on Lemmy, all my favorite vibes.
