What other things did they take that you would consider a necessity? In this photo it's pretty black and white on what they took food and convince items.
Bullshit. Shoplifting accounts for less shrinkage than expiring products. We throw away more food than is stolen. Let that sink in. More food goes to a landfill than to shoplifters.
It's not whataboutism. You said shoplifters drive up prices. That is objectively false, as demonstrated by the disparity between what is lost to shrinkage (less than 2%, and that includes all shrinkage, not just shoplifting) and food waste, roughly 30-40% of all food in the USA.
Your anger is misplaced, and you are actively making society worse.
you said (wrongly) "shoplifters are contributing to rising grocery prices", and then, once corrected, doubled down (but now without any clear reasoning as to why) that shoplifters are somehow affecting your life and are worse than any one else (?!?!).
So I drew attention to how you're similar to a character from classic French literature who has a similar motivation, and yet I'm the immature one?
I have already responded to the "points" you brought up, please read the comment tree. I have not responded to the points you came up with tho, such as, "shoplifters are worse than anyone else", which is not something I said. I understand you have to build strawmen to respond anything but please keep it more subtle than that.
Please do sing me something though, I'd appreciate a quick musical piece

Looks like the corporate propaganda really works well on some people. A large part of the reason for recent price increases is due to corporate profiteering. But sure, blame the people who are stealing a bit of food to survive.
This thread isnt about corporate though, this is about a selfish sweet tooth who'd rather have me pay for their pancakes than go to work and be beneficial for the society they live in.
Both can be true, both are bad. Even if 1% of the price hikes are due to these shitpeople its still a price hike I'd rather not pay.
I dont really get this strawman, there is plenty of jobs you can get to by just applying. Janitors, serving staff, burgerflippers, all valid jobs you can get to without specific education or prior experience. Literally walk in.
But these people prefer not to work for the pancakes they cook, as they are selfish and just shit humans. Would be sad if it wasnt me who's paying for the lifestyle they made the conscious decision to live.
Where does it say she doesn't have a job???? There are lots of people who are working jobs that barely pay rent and don't have money left over for food. This woman could be working double shifts for all we know and is struggling to make ends meet. We honestly don't know anything about her situation beyond the fact that she stole food. The whole point of this post was that instead of criminalizing her actions we should provide her with resources to help prevent her from starving.
If you work yet have to steal essentials like syrup, you really need to have your skull pushed into the pavement until you understand what personal finance means and how to manage it.
To me personally that sounds like a bigger problem than the stealing tbh
Deciding that employment is difficult when its not is a strawman. Please read into some basic literature into logic and argumentative errors. Thank you.
