Remember folks, if you see someone shoplifting food, no you didn’t.
I work for coles and I always give them a nod of approval then walk off like nothing happend when I see people stealing, fuck coles, they profited over a billion dollars last year off of ripping of customers and workers.
People taking fruit, cereal, milk… sure. But taking premium steaks, beer/wine/spirits, or anything else they can resell - no, that’s just theft.
Theft from billion dollar companies is a cool thing to do 😎
We’re all stolen from every day. The difference is that we’re told that it’s OK when it happens to us but that it’s wrong when it happens to the company stealing from us.
No, they’ll sell it cheaper than the store
That doesn’t make it not theft
I feel like you assume they’re reselling for a business. They could be buying baby shoes, or a gift for that nephew for his birthday, to make him forget how bad life is.
No, most people who steal steaks are taking them to the pub and selling them for drugs or similar. Huge problem in the UK at least.
If you want baby shoes you steal baby shoes.

Are you suggesting that nobody ever stole anything from a store in a socialist/communist country?

It’s the obvious followup to your statement “shoplifting is happening because of capitalism. Period.” You were very clear and I think my question is very clear.
Your logic is right, but what he’s meaning is that capitalism exacerbates poverty. When homes, food, healthcare become commodities the people that can’t afford the new norm HAVE to do what they can to survive.
Yes, some-to-most shoplifters may be shoplifting for less than survival reasons, but in the same way many would argue that capital punishment risks the many at the expense of a few, villifying and prosecuting shoplifters risks the legitimate survival of a lot of people.
They shouldn’t have to switch on the cameras - there should be signage posted at the entrances explaining body camera filming is taking place and that by entering the establishment the customer agrees to being filmed.
There is no reason for the employee to have to on/off the device - which may lead to further confrontation.
Imagine I sell a product that everyone needs to buy in order to live, but I’m a massive creep and like to take photos of people without their consent. But I put a sign up so now it’s ok. Cool and normal.
Or you know, maybe just don’t profiteer during inflation.
I’m 99% sure we’re gonna start seeing an uptick in employees “accidentally” obscuring and/or destroying these body cams
