There is nothing morally wrong with shoplifting from multi-billion dollar stores like Walmart

[WelperHelper99]

Walmart for better or worse is one of the biggest employers in the nation. Stealing from them is stealing from your neighbor, which goes against this:

>"thou shalt not steal"
Yeah from my neighbor. And I don't consider faceless corporations my neighbor. (Greed is sin btw

If you steal from them too much, people get fired, the store closes, people go homeless. Good job bro. You just contributed to the unemployment statistics. Just ask Chicago, they shuttered those Walmarts because of all the theft years ago.

There is something wrong with shopping at Walmart. Not the idea, just the company, or companies like it.

I understand it's convenient and cheap, but it has such a huge impact on the supply chain that people don't understand.

Independent farmers cannot survive the prices given to them, and find themselves with very little alternatives. They have no negotiation power because the production will just rot if it does not sell. You first sell to the central, which then sells it back to supermarkets.

If a farm is not owned by a giant company with horrible practices, it's mostly only maintaining afloat because of government subsidies.

These massive supermarket chains are convenient, but they are a massive threat to the food industry. Any loss they make, it will be either the customer or the supplier who will suffer. And they are in a monopoly that makes it really easy.

At the end of the day, they really profit from the lack of organization on the supplier side. Of course, you have coops and farmers market, but they have not yet figured out that they can completely eliminate the middle man.

I don't think much about the morality of it, it just seems more stressful than necessary and sort of embarrassing for an adult.

Walmart isn't gonna close down they are just gonna double down on locking stuff up and other anti stealing shit, god forbid we have a high trust society, but I guess speds like you just wanna come online and confess to shoplifting like some retards facebook page.

Ultimately that's what would happen.
It's not like stores can't do anything to stop people from shoplifting, they simply don't because they get more sales by trusting people than they lose. If that changed, then prepare for your shopping experience to become (even more) dystopian.

There's a screenshot floating around of two twitter posts, one where someone says they don't do anything to stop shoplifters, then another where the same person is complaining about how local stores keep locking everything up. If anyone knows what I'm talking about pretend I put it here.

Like homie above me said, you're probably better off just minimizing the amount you spend with these types of soulless megacorps.

More than 3 billion dollars worth of Walmart's merchandise is stolen every year.

One time I found an empty box on the floor of an aisle. It said "Tush Tucker" or something on it. I was like, "what is this?" Whatever, I thought, someone stole something. I took it to an employee who then informed me it's a butt plug. Somebody stole a butt plug from Walmart. Apparently Walmart sells a variety of sex toys in the Pharmacy section and have for years. I bet that's what OP stole.

Thieves deserve to have the shit beaten out of them like in this clip

 

[Irrational Bounty Hunter]

If you give a shit about prices being raised for the average shopper, the job security of the people working at the store, or the continued presence of the store in your area, you shouldn't steal things you don't absolutely need. I'm personally apathetic because all the energy you put out will naturally return to you (including thieving shoplifter energy, you thieving shoplifter) but I can't fault others for calling you a nigger. That being said pirate all software suck my dick Adobe

 

[Soup Sammiches]

Sorry nigger or jew, whichever sub-race wrote this but morality has a meaning and part of the meaning is don't fucking steal.

This is what I do not like. My nearest Wal-mart is clean, organized, there are no security guards anywhere, and nothing is locked up behind glass except for things you'd expect, like guns.

I went to another Wal-mart about an hour and a half away when I was out traveling. There was a security car patrolling, and two security guards at each exit. The store itself was dark and not clean or organized like the one back at home. Some aisles had items on the ground, and the employees there looked dead and didn't care.

There were blatant cameras and monitors in almost every aisle. And to my great annoyance, lots of things were locked up. Makeup, perfume, medicine, LAUNDRY DETERGENT, etc. I couldn't believe it. I ended up not buying anything because fuck waiting around for some wage slave to come and unlock it for me.

So grateful I live in a high trust city.

If you think like this you lose the right to complain when these businesses shift the increased cost of overhead due to theft onto the customer by raising prices.

This happened in Portland too, if I remember correctly.

It's sad to think that millions of people are losing the cheapest place to buy essentials like paper towels, trash bags, toilet paper and medicine.

 

[Hateocracy]

Why can't we steal from an objectively bad megacorps like Microsoft or Alphabet?

Why are we always stealing from places that provide food or critical-adjacent services?

 

[JamusActimus]

That's only if you get caught thoughever

I could say the same about rape, murder and pedophilia.

It is sad and its preventable. Don't be a nigger and don't steal or else you ruin it for everyone

 

[Coldgrip]

Stealing is wrong, unless it's from communists. But then it's not really stealing.

Reminds me of this

would you download a car.

that would be some sick technology. free car!

after all, life is basically a video game, right? Stuff just appears. "Work"? What does that word mean?

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

You're right but your argument is absolutely awful.

HERE'S why it's not immoral to shoplift from stores IN YOUR ENEMIES' NEIGHBORHOODS.

Every one of these mega corporations is a full throated supporter of Globohomo. They all donated to BLM back when they were destroying cities and they support censorship, political repression and the full-fledged invasion of your country.

Very early on in my somewhat varied career, I worked as a store manager for a very large retailer .

The hours were stupidly long, the pay was really not that good, but we were paid a small percentage of a bonus related to profit and I suspect that arrangement hasn't changed much in the intervening years.

Stealing from my store had a direct impact on my pocket and any idea that it's a "victimless crime" to steal from a large store is a fallacy.

That's cool and all, But the local farmer's market in my town closes when I'm still at work on weekdays and isn't open on the weekends. There's a Sprouts in my town which I'll go to for produce and other stuff but sometimes even if it sucks Walmart is your only option.
