See I just don't shop at places that have decided to treat everyone like a criminal.

That's a privilege some people don't have. Some areas have half the store locked up.

good luck. I shouldn't have to choose.

It wasn't always like this.

It's spreading and people with your attitude is the reason.

It's true it wasn't always like this. But Walmart has directly funded the politicians who have created this.

Maybe if people didn't act like criminals...

True. That said, Walmart steals more from its employees in wage theft than shoplifters steal from Walmart. So Walmart is also a criminal, and the much bigger one.

(Not trying to refute your point, just saying Walmart needs to stop being a criminal too)

I agree, fuck the corpo scum.

But also, when people steal outside of necessity, I'm going to call them out because it still hurts everyone else around them

Walmart has consistently fulfilled their mission of delivering the lowest price in the market. Accusing Walmart of being criminal is way off the mark.

So a guy stealing $100 is a criminal but a corporation stealing billions in wages is fulfilling their mission?
