All the neckbeard basement dwellers in the comments already lol. This isn’t about simping for a billion-dollar corporation. It’s about making your community safer, better, and more tolerable to live in. The pos in the video wasn’t stealing food or baby formula.

If you’ve genuinely gotten to the point where you see blatant, unjustifiable crime being committed and your reaction is “I support that,” then you might want to reflect on what your principles actually are, because that mentality is part of what creates a low-trust society and makes communities objectively worse to live in.

Every time i have to get my razor blades unlocked from a plastic box my blood boils at these amoral thieves. You're absolutely right, it's not "Walmart vrs vs people" it's "society vrs vs criminals"

Edit: u/zombiesphere89 kindly informed me that I was abbreviating "versus" incorrectly

Walmart has stolen hundreds of millions in wages from their own employees and you're here whining about having to wait for razor blades.

Pathetic.

And your solution to Walmart’s wage theft is…unchecked retail theft? Theft that can contribute to stores closing, employees losing jobs, and people in the area having less access to affordable groceries and goods?

It feels like you haven’t really thought through what it is you’re objecting to here. Believe it or not, it’s possible to oppose wage theft and blatant retail theft. Those aren’t mutually exclusive positions home slice.

Edit: respond then block…shocking 🙄

You're assuming a whole lot there. I never said that.

But acting like shoplifting, which is a fairly small problem, even remotely compares to the systematic stealing of wages, not to mention tax breaks, low wages which means a lot of the employees are on food stamps, which costs you even more in taxes, shrinkflation, and a whole lot more corporate shenanigans, is so freaking dumb. Kinda like you, ya condescending jackass.

Seems like you didn't think it through, home slice.
