Everytime, and i mean EVERY SINGLE TIME, you have been told prices have increased because of shoplifting it has been a lie. Its propaganda and will continue to be propaganda. These companies will do anything they possibly can to siphon off as much as they can. Wage theft exceeds shoplifting.

It is absolutely propoganda. It is misinformation used to turn shoppers against each other and use them to protect corporate assets. I can recall multiple videos of security agents being unable to physically stop shoplifters at the door, but another shopper(s) came to the rescue and joined the scuffle. Why the fuck is that anyone's business but the business in question? It's not. But they love that you think it is.

If you see someone stealing, no you fucking didn't.

If the security guard/door greeter isn't being paid enough to stop them then I certainly am not going to stop them for free.
