As an extreme example to make the point, a store that had half its sodas stolen cannot just double the prices of the remaining half to make up the difference as the customers will go elsewhere.
In the case of a publicly traded company, you're stealing from the stock holders, because there is no "owner" per se
What in the flying fuck are you talking about?? I get free gas the boss KNOWS about.
Sorry I have perks in life I guess. I'm faithful and commit ZERO crimes. You've committed more crimes against humanity than I have.
Maybe utopia for you is where you are at so you can watch it BUUUUURN. After that, move to a beautiful place like Shenandoah and remote work.
I must politely interject here. When one steals or pilfers from a proprietorship or a franchise you are stealing from the owner, same as if you picked his pocket. Prices are determined by the market - if you raise prices you will lose sales. As an extreme example to make the point, a store that had half its sodas stolen cannot just double the prices of the remaining half to make up the difference as the customers will go elsewhere. How about a gas station that had its tanks pumped by a midnight thief, or had excessive drive-offs, think they can just raise prices? The owner eats the loss. Even a firms like Walmart or Walgreens cannot raise process to cover theft - they will just shut down stores in areas where theft eats too much into profits.
I haven't commuted any.
I just find you to be distasteful. I don't hang out with pedophiles in power. You do.
We can completely eliminate viruses, trivially. Did you know that?

contrast to Eman's California economic prosperity narrative.
One thing is I do see federal tax increases on the near horizon which will impact Eman.

Read the above about 1000 Dollar Tree stores being shut down.
Family Dollar will close 600 locations this year and 370 stores over the next several years as store leases expire.
I was told by staff that Dollar Trees are becoming Super Dollar Trees with expanded grocery and clothing offerings. They have boxed milk which is terrific at $1.25 and lasts for months if not years unopened.

The stated policy of management was to "let them go and do not confront them."
What is the point of checking receipts at the door then? Just to keep track of how many people stole things?

SB 553, introduced by Silicon Valley’s State Sen. Dave Cortese (D-Cupertino), is described as a bill to prevent and monitor “workplace violence.” But it also includes a provision that “every employer shall establish, implement, and maintain, at all times in all of the employer’s facilities, a workplace violence prevention plan for purposes of protecting employees and other personnel from aggressive and violent behavior at the workplace” that “shall include … [p]rovisions prohibiting the employer from maintaining policies that require employees to confront active shooters or suspected shoplifters.”
As San Francisco Bay Area Fox affiliate KTVU reported, retail associations are furious, believing that the bill will tell potential thieves that they can steal goods at will:
[O]ver 50 organizations, including the California Retailers Association, (CRA) don’t support the bill.
“This bill goes way too far, number one, where I think it will open the doors even wider for people to come in and steal from our stores.”
…
The CRA says if SB 553 becomes law, it will need to apply to all industries and not just retail. They also say most retailers already prohibit regular employees from approaching anyone about stolen merchandise and have some employees who are trained in theft prevention.
“It says no employee can approach someone who is shoplifting. So even if someone is trained on how to deter someone from doing that, now they’re not allowed to approach someone. So, what does that mean? We are opening up the door to allow people to walk into stores, steal and walk out,” Michelin said.
