      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.

          (I’m not a theft advocate, btw.)

          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
