    By stealing you just encourage the store to raise their prices. You literally give them a reason as to why they should make stuff more expensive.

        Grocery stores have some of the thinnest profit margins out of any industry. If theft related shrink stopped happening it would eventually be reflected in prices.

          Absolutely. Theft, broken stuff, waste, etc. it’s literally all calculated into the prices. It’s absolutely crazy that people don’t realize that. Lol
