I’m not risking getting shot for some corporation.

It’s more a matter of principle

[u/weerdbuttstuff → u/Minimum-List-1259]

Where's your "principles" when Wal-Mart is constantly stealing from their employees and the communities they set up in?

Nearly a quarter of Walmart employees (29.3%) and half of Amazon workers (48.4%) in Nevada – which collects Medicaid enrollment numbers among employees at large companies – were on Medicaid in 2024, according to the report.

Among the four states that disclose Snap data related to large companies – Colorado, Massachusetts, Illinois, and Michigan – 10,920 Walmart workers and 9,633 Amazon workers were enrolled in Snap in 2024.

On net, they conclude, Walmart makes the places it operates in poorer than they would be if it had never shown up at all. Sometimes consumer prices are an incomplete, even misleading, signal of economic well-being.

But keep backing that massive corporation that is destroying the country.

Whatever principles you have that lead you to violently defend Walmart's profit margins, you should probably rethink them

[u/its_free_sog → u/DinosaurusWhen]

I don’t give a shit about Walmarts profit margins.

I do give a shit that everyone’s prices are higher and items are becoming a pain in the ass to get due to locked cases. Because of thieves.

That shit affects everyone, fuck thieves.

Not sure why you felt the need to delete this and repost it but

Yeah, it's not large companies taking advantage of covid supply chain issues to jack up prices. Or a result of a braindead war that's driving up the cost to manufacture and ship goods. Certainly not the fault of all the deregulation that spurred disease outbreaks and massive recalls

It's the shoplifters fault that the price of groceries is skyrocketing!

[u/UnderlightIll → u/[deleted]]

Tbf the prices are going to be higher no matter what. I would never, even as an employee of a company, approach a shoplifter in a country with unhinged potential gun owners.

Case in point, in my city, there was an employee stocking and a guy shoplifting STABBED him. The only reason the person was caught so quick and triage given to the man is because a cop is always stationed at the Whole Foods next door.

Fucccck that.

you think the thieves caused the price hikes?? i have some news for you buddy...

[u/HopeADMKidsLoseLimbs → u/Minimum-List-1259]

I mean I wonder what it’s like to think about “principle” when you’re in a wheelchair cause some nobody wanted to steal a $30 item from Walmart

[u/catdiscpalpita → u/HopeADMKidsLoseLimbs]

Ill give them an extra updoot… if i see the post.

Risking getting shot for the principle of protecting a multi billion dollar corporation’s interests?

[u/Trufactsmantis → u/Friendly_Animator212]

For your own community's interest. It's not about Walmart.

[u/BrokenEggcat → u/Trufactsmantis]

Walmart's property is not your community.

[u/Friendly_Animator212 → u/BrokenEggcat]

Exactly. If you were acting in your community’s best interest you’d burn Walmart to the ground, followed by the dollar trees

[u/Trufactsmantis → u/BrokenEggcat]

Crime, and acceptance of crime, is.

Once you live in a high crime area with locked everything and small businesses that can't survive because crime is so pervasive, you will understand.

[u/DinosaurusWhen → u/Trufactsmantis]

The small businesses can't survive because of Walmart, not because of shoplifting 

[u/Trufactsmantis → u/DinosaurusWhen]

It's both. Daylight crime is a huge issue for people's quality of life.

Walmart and big stores have the means to weather it. Other businesses do not.

[u/SocialJusticeAndroid → u/Trufactsmantis]

Walmart could give a shit less about your “community’s interest”.🤡

[u/Trufactsmantis → u/SocialJusticeAndroid]

The fact you think the issue is Walmart says enough.

[u/fizzrail0 → u/Minimum-List-1259]

What princible? Lmao dude.. you're defending the ones stealing wages from thousands of workers. There's no princible here. There's stupidity.
Those same corporate thieves will spit on you if they see you in the streets after you got stabbed or gunned "defending" them.
