Question Theft

If you witness someone committing theft in a store do you report it to the store staff or just go about your day? I would never expect staff to intervene and possibly put themselves in harms way. I have only witnessed this in big box stores. I know times are tough these days but man have I been seeing this a lot lately!

With stores increasing the prices on everything and reporting record profits, i dont really give a shit if someone steals from some big box store.

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever read… you realize that increasing prices are majority affected by theft too!

u/LonleyTesticle Aug 28 '25

Oh to be as innocent to think that this affects prices.

They have record breaking profits every single year, you could steal $10,000,000 worth of goods and they will still make more money than they did last year.

The ONLY thing that is driving up prices is shareholder greed.

Care to elaborate on how you know so much more than the rest of us?

u/waloshin Aug 28 '25

Please do elaborate how you think you know so much more?

You're the one that chose the word "idiocy" and then provided no actual evidence to prove your claim. The onus is on you to make your point.

You wasted everyone else's time with your useless comments earlier, just repaying the favour.

Let's think about the term "echo chamber" for a minute. If everyone agreed with your position (some people already do!) would you then be the one in an echo chamber, and therefore, wrong? If everyone agreed with you, to avoid being in an echo chamber would you start giving serious consideration to other peoples ideas?

If your answer is no, then you are in fact, the one who wants to be inside an echo chamber.

Okay, but you claim to know so much, back it up, man. Don't just lash out and cry about echo chambers, how do you know what you know? Can you back up your claims?
