There is no such thing as shoplifting sandwiches. Nobody saw it. It didn’t happen. This is the code we all should abide by until social security improves.
That is great and all, but now because of the increase in theft you are going to see more products locked behind the counter. Welcome to the low trust society you took part in creating.
Shoplifting was rife in the 90s and 2000s, and it was an acceptable business loss that most small business and retailers alike just shrugged off.
This new narrative that shoplifting is the reason that security measures and prices have to go up is just the latest strategy in corporations once more fobbing off blame on the end-consumer (a la “carbon footprint”) for why they need to jack up prices again.
It’s greed, plain and simple. We used to have high trust soceities and rampant shoplifting not too long ago, but we’re being distracted once again

Companies already don’t trust their customers. I have had no hand or say in that.
They used to have enough trust that you wouldn’t steal everything on the shelves. Now in some places they don’t even do that.
If only there was a social solution… An -ism of sorts. /s
Capitalism!
