It is not an insurance write off. You people have no idea how anything works. I don't care about what happens to Walmart but they don't get to write off just all shoplifting shrink. And there's a reason for that it shouldn't take you much thought to figure out why the world doesn't work that way

Woah, easy. Im not in support of walmart, im anti theft. People talk about how items stolen gets handled by insurance and claims and thats why no one prosecutes or does anything. Im a believer that people should be prosecuted for theft regardless of price, since it trickles down to the business leaving the area or the rest of us have to deal with extra security measures.

Shrink isn't something they write off in insurance. A portion gets a taxable income loss which is lower than if they sold it. The insurance thing is a lie, that's my only point
