      The grocery stores are as well when there’s record inflation and people struggling and they are all posting record profits.

        I agree if I was starving I would steal too but a lot of the comments in this thread are talking about stealing things that are just expensive because they’re expensive

      Most businesses are too, so why should we be the bigger man?

      If they can’t handle Capitalism, which includes theft, they should try to change it.

        most businesses are not thieves that is such a silly way to look at the world. now if you’re talking about large corporations in large enterprises I would be a little bit more understanding of your statement. when you’re talking small and medium and even large size businesses it’s hardly the case.

          Wage theft is significantly more common than petty theft and occurs because the victims often don’t have the ability to fight back.

          I see where you’re coming from but you can’t deny that these corporations don’t prey on the very people they employ.
