Wah... thieves are getting stolen from. Billionaire store owners that are destroying jobs for more profit find out it is not that foolproof.

the crisis is these stores are stealing from us, lying to us and treating everyone like criminals.

take OUR food back... if you see someone taking taking food, no you didn't...

I don't give two flying fucks about Loblaws, Walmart, metro, Sobeys... whatever .. they are all criminals and should be fined to high hell.

Robin Hood and Luigi have risen....

Yeah, I am crying a river for the oligarchs that are systematically starving us out of existence.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 week ago

It's like people don't realize these costs just come back into the prices that the customers pay.

[–] sns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 2 weeks ago

The main crime organization is called Loblaws.

[–] CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

baby formula priced at $97 dollars each.

The criminals behind the criminals.

Why is no one having children!?!?!

I know why...

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm trying to care but I just can't.

Take what you want folks, I know I do when I'm in a loblaws, shoppers or metro.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Same. After all the price fixing, and the state of capitalism at this point where all the money is up top, these whiners can just get fucked.

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

bingo. I live in Toronto and do all my grocery shopping in chinatown on spadina. it's cheaper, better quality, and i'm supporting local businesses. When I want a snack I go to loblaws and "shop" for it.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Remember kids, if you see someone stealing, no you didn't. Unless they are bourgeoisie fucks

[–] asg101@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"...in exchange for baby formula priced at $97 dollars each. "

The REAL crime here.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

Totally. It should be more like $158 each right?!

[–] BloodMuffin@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure I steal a item or two every time I use self checkout.

i swipe everything across the scanner, if it doesn't scan, oh well

[–] TheBloodFarts@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's been my rule. If after 2 swipes it doesn't scan, it's free

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

🀣

This probably happens by accident all the time also.

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

I was never trained on the operation of that machine.

[–] cheat700000007@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Nothing to see here, these are Christmas gifts, you have no right to look in them

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 8 points 2 weeks ago

Remember during the pandemic, when managers over-ordered, or product arrived out-of-season, stuff got spoiled, and all of that shrink was blamed on "shoplifting" because it was more palatable and profitable for management and the corpos to blame the customer and claim insurance money, rather than admit they'd made errors or there were flaws in the system that would force them to eat the cost?

sorry, fixed it.

But the original title sucked.

[–] Kichae@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

Sorry, Galen, what were those record profits again?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Organized crime

To billionaires also know collectively as "the poor"

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

A tale about a bunch of robin hood's. Nice.

[–] vane@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Edgar Friendly is their leader.

[–] Zaraki42@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Oh, no! Anyway...
