    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…
