Mother fucking GUARANTEE it, you have never once in your entire fucking life put even a modicum of thought towards corporations committing wage theft in the literal billions per year, absolutely dwarfing their ENTIRE shrinkage (theft, loss, damaged in shipping, expired, etc). You don't give a fuck about the victims of this kind of wage theft having to choose between paying their heating bill or buying food because they already don't make enough to live off of even before the corporations fucking rob them blind. To you that's all "white collar crime". It's hidden, it's numbers on a screen in an office. it's not "real crime", so when FINALLY a corporation gets caught and fined and has to pay the money back, that's good enough! They don't need an actual PUNISHMENT, just give back what they took, after they made additional profit off of it! Where were you when it Walgreens fucking ADMITTED that they massively exaggerated their shrinkage to theft as an excuse to close stores in areas they already planned to close, because "we had to close due to theft!" is better PR than "this location was less profitable than others even after we ran it on a skeleton crew, bled it dry for a few months until it was no longer profitable at all without actually investing money into it, then closed!"?

Payzmaykr 01/12/23 4:45:00 PM #197:	Warning! Safeway is currently taking extra measures to steal from customers, outright. They mark something as one price and it rings up as three times whats advertised. I had to get them to fix that the other day and a few minutes ago, I saw this happen to the guy next to me in line. They also price gouged energy drinks from 4/$5 to $3.60 each. Four packs of other drinks went from $7 to $11. So theyre outright lying about the prices and you literally have to call them out to get the discount. Then they have to go verify it and it slows down the line even more. Boycott Safeway until they start to honor the social contract we once had.
