in our area, people are just smashing in grab at a grocery store, because they arent even allowed to give them "customer" service anymore. these people are not hurting for money, but to fuel thier addiction(very high area of people doing various drugs. not even allowed to lock up the expensive stuff, because idiot regionals think the store needs to have all items available for customers.
Grocery store? So are the drug dealers in your area only accepting hotdog buns? Or are they fencing them first?
Eitherway, as long as somebody is eating the stolen food then I like that outcome better than the stores just dumping them in a locked dumpster when the date runs out. That's what happens to an obscene amount of food anyway.
nah they were selling them for money for drugs. its expensive coffee, icecream, tp, SUPPLEMNTS, collagen powder. because im hearing from other people in the area they all hit other stores at once, and gather in one nearby place and selling them. its also organized crime. many of them have thier coke torches on them. they were not eating them.
the ones that steal to eat dont take 10+bags of coffee 15-20$ each, or the 50$+ of supplements and powders and bottles of expensive olive oils. i dont think these people are brewing coffee or making supplement drinks. yes they sell it for drugs.
