-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It was an obviously manufactured claim written in order to support their bill for harsher punishments for shoplifting (and likely hide some profit loss in a fake theft tax writeoff). It would be nice to hear if it failed in its purpose now that the lie is exposed but we'll see
So they're gonna take the laundry detergent and underpants out of the locked glass cases right?
They claimed it was organized? And people bought that? I can see how a narrative of an uptick could be believed, but organized shoplifting gangs?
shit the vast majority of my shrink in my dept that i am happily quitting soon is from the insane price increases causing us to donate like 50-60% of everything that comes through, plus shitty packaging and quality control (which is getting worse likely due to overworking manufacturers because i'm sure they are getting just as overworked as we are).
instead of increased theft mostly i just see more people taking markdown stickers off and moving them to fresh items. this is just because i basically have to markdown everything to even sell it before it hits dates.
so yeah greed and capitalism. lower your fucking prices and maybe you'll sell something. but you won't.
