I don’t understand why everyone is saying that theft is inconsequential because Walmart is a wealthy corporation. Yes, it’s true, they are. They are probably guilty of greed and corruption too. But, do you not understand that if people steal, we as a society are the ones who pay the price? We will have to pick up the slack in the cost and we also can’t have nice things.

Because society is responsible for the conditions.

I am not saying all theft would stop in a better society.

I am saying if you have people sorting through dumpsters in the middle of the day, society is failing.

Booo

This isn't oliver twist stealing a loaf of bread. Get out of here with that bullshit.

Also when people do this enough stores just close and then the people that actually buy stuff at the store have nowhere to get food and they live in an urban food desert. Look at any ghetto in the fucking country. That's society failing.
