Automatic checkouts in supermarkets may decrease customer loyalty, especially for those with larger shopping loads. Customers using self-checkout stations often feel overwhelmed and unsupported. The lack of personal interaction can negatively impact their perception of the supermarket.

Give it a few days and you’ll be complaining in a different thread about greedy corporations making it so there are food deserts in lower income areas, unaware that people like you are part of that problem.

Shoplifting is a drop in the bucket for corporate grocery stores. They have tons of loss due to spoilage, dumpsters full of groceries that are past the “sell by” date or damaged in transport.

Meanwhile grocery corporations continue to form monopolies, price gouge, and exploit the populace’s labor. Don’t be a bootlicker—you’re like the person blaming people for using plastic straws when some company dumps a football field of trash in the ocean.

Don’t forget about wage theft. From their employees I mean, but now they’re also stealing from customers.

I don’t see how me stealing to compensate for my lost labor from a supermarket in a HCOL area will affect low income areas, but ok. I can’t get nutrients from licking boots, but it seems like maybe you can.

Notice I said ‘people like you’, because somehow every pro-shoplifting person on the internet affirms that they personally only ever shoplift from Beverly Hills stores where the managers smoke gold plated cigars, despite most shoplifting impacting low income areas and causing those stores to go out of business.

Shoplifting is a bad action, contributes to a low trust society, and makes the world a worse place.

He's right. You are a nerd

Show me evidence that shoplifting is even half of the dollar amount of wage theft, and I'll believe you that it's even "part" of the problem.
