    I’d rather “work” than wait behind people with 100+ items. I can be out the door in 2 minutes.

        Why bother going through the checkout at all, the fastest way out is straight through the door. Unrelated, the weather is changing so I’m thinking of buying a really big coat, and I’ll want pockets for my keys and other essentials.

        I don’t know where you live but here theft is a crime and very antisocial and despicable.

        Someone has to pay for the thieves and prices rise because they have to compensate for theft. Even if prices in reality do not need to compensate, because margin is already big enough, it gives retail a free card to jack prices, which, in essence, is yet again against consumers.

          I don’t know where YOU live but Walmart is one of the biggest thieves in the USA. People working there still have to collect government assistance because they pay too little to live on.

          I genuinely can’t tell if you’re being facetious.

          I thought you were fully serious, but then I hit the line

          Even if prices in reality do not need to compensate, because margin is already big enough, it gives retail a free card to jack prices,

          And assumed you were just poking fun and the poor widdle corporations and their giant profit margins, but then you continued with your paragrap, and now I’m not sure again…

            No, I’m serious in all statements. Corpos will jack prices on any occassion that offers itself, so keep the number of those low.

              Don’t worry, even if we don’t give them the theft excuse they’ll just lie about it anyway and do whatever they wanted to do, regardless of our input or reality. If a retail corporation wants to raise prices, they will raise prices. There is nothing you or me or anyone else can do about it.

              The only winning move is not to play the game.

            But maybe you can explain where all the downvotes come from, because I don’t understand.

            Is thievery good? Only when thieving from companies? Is is socially acceptable to take what is not yours from others? Only from companies? Or from a stranger who has more than you? From a friend? What’s this all about?

              Yeah, it’s completely ethical to steal from big corporations. They steal from you every single day. Their entire existence is based on the amoral exploitation of other humans. Other people, small businesses, a very very very few medium-large corporations, it’s not ethical to steal from, they’re not a disgusting blight rotting away the foundations of society. Nor a friend, or stranger, or small business, etc. for the same reason.

              I feel like this isn’t a particularly hard concept.
