Are there pro-theft communities that support stealing directly from other (not super rich) individuals? I don’t think corporations are victims of the oppressive system, so stealing from them is still ethically congruent
Seriously, the amount of people who assume that insurance will take care of everything is astonishing. Like have you never dealt with a insurance claim before? And not to mention the premium increases. Small businesses get fucked over by theft.
To be fair, if much of the money goes straight up the chain to corporate, then stealing is still hurting corporate’s bottom line. It’s just that it’s also doing a lot of damage to the local branch, which could be hurting locals and creating food deserts.
It’s common in restaurants, but not so much in supermarkets. I think the biggest/most well known supermarket that franchises is sav a lot.
Safeway, Kroger, King Sooper etc are not and in fact own multiple brands. Kroger for instance owns not Only Kroger stores but Fred Meyer and King Soopers and a few others.
They’re free for the pickings as far as I’m concerned along with Walmart, I might not steal myself but I’ll be turning the other way rq if I see someone else doing it
You’re still shafting poor people when you steal stuff from local shops, even if they belong to large corporations. They usually start locking up items that are frequently stolen and sometimes even close down entirely. This is how food deserts are made.
I don’t think that’s the main problem contributing to food deserts. In my city, zoning regulations and anticompetitive contracts have created them… so, shitty business practices and nimbyism.
It’s not the main problem by a long shot but it’s certainly impacting existing businesses. For some of them it’s just the final nail in the coffin.
Dumbass nimby boomers and zoning are a whole other can of worms. If you can spare the free time to annoy your city council with your pet peeves (which said boomer nimbys often can) you can get a lot of things done.
The pro-theft communities are not going to like that bottom left panel.

Small businesses can be such victims.

Which is why you almost never see them advocate theft from such places
That is a good example, thanks!

(I’m not a theft advocate, btw.)

Franchising big supermarkets is totally unheard of in my country.
