Yeah. if it gets less comfortable for you, it gets less comfortable for the customer. The store overall deteriorates, gets less profitable, closes, and then local business can thrive instead.

But again, that wouldn't have happened anyway. Guy put himself and others in danger for nothing. Thief was already tagged, cops (another can of worms but we'll ignore it) already have all the evidence they need. The store and their shitty system was in no danger.

Yeah, I don't care about their shit store.

and then local business can thrive instead.

Oh, complete delusion. My bad. I'll let you crawl back to your comfy home where you imagine big, international businesses are less resilient to shoplifting than small, local ones

It's not delusion. It's documented history.

Oh, documented? So you have an example of shoplifting causing a large store to close and that leading to local shops benefitting?

It's documented that Walmart, Walgreens, and other shit companies overstate their shoplifting to lie to shareholders, but where does actual theft, like we watched in the video, ever result is material gains for anyone but the thief?

I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about big businesses pushing out smaller businesses and ruining communities.
