Reply to comment by DirectorBeneficial48 in Thieves walk out of Downtown Jersey City Best Buy with $20K in Apple products by imaluckyduckie

Dumb take, all costs get passed to consumers eventually. Or they close. Or security gets super annoying for regular customers

Yup. Insurance for retail has been through the roof. Those costs are part of the consumer inflation we’re seeing.

Makes online only businesses look more and more attractive.

This is the dumbest bullshit I've heard on this topic in possibly ever. Current prices are rising nearly solely on corporate greed and insurance companies are no different.

If it weren't, then their profits wouldn't be rising. Companies are taking advantage of any and every possible excuse to bilk people and anyone parroting their bullshit is a corporate bootlicker.

Go talk to me about the 17 million dollars in wage theft and employee misclassification lawsuits that best buy's lost and fuck off about 20 grand in product theft.

Theft is wrong. Is it that hard to understand?

That's an infantile thought process you've got. Steal from gigantic national retail outlets, they 100% deserve it
