I and one of the employee tried to stop the guy from taking it all when A lady in the line was saying "Their not doing anything wrong, they just need eat." I told her what happens when the store cant afford to stay open and this store will close if theft stays this high. Well not three days later, that store is now closed permanently.

Who’s the real thief. “The prices paid at the register do not match the price tags, according to a class action lawsuit working through the courts.” “Dominant discount retail chain Dollar General, which operates about 19,000 stores in the U.S., is being sued for an alleged “pricing scam.” In the class action lawsuit, customers allege that Dollar General frequently tags merchandise on store floors at a lower cost than what it rings up at the register. The case was brought on behalf of the class by Dann Law, a firm spearheaded by former Ohio attorney general Marc Dann. “These guys are stealing a little bit from millions of people every day,” Dann told the Prospect. “There’s no question that they’re aware there’s a problem. And [that] they’ve been aware for a period of time.” Dollar General’s practices, which essentially amount to false advertising, have financially harmed the “thousands if not tens or hundreds of thousands of consumers,” the lawsuit alleges. The suit, which was filed in New York, seeks an order declaring Dollar General in conflict with state law, as well as damages for the class.”

I'm not saying there is no one in the country who has needed to steal food to get by, but we need to be honest that the vast, vast majority of shoplifting is pure theft because most of the time you can see these people selling the crap they stole secondhand out on the street

Damn. Even the dollar stores are feeling the pinch.

[@OpinionFactChecker]

Clever.

It's hand-out culture creating entitlement. Welfare, Section 8, food stamps are for people down on their luck, not for lazy people who don't want to work.

[@jakkuwolfinsomnia8058]

So true, we’re grooming a generation of entitled people living off government handouts. It’s some big conspiracy towards autocratic socialism

[@slim420-e8v]

It's illegal immigrants.

[@magikindian]

[@edwardtelles1956]
