Benetton should use these in an ad.

Hooray for higher prices for everyone else because retailers have to make up for all the theft losses

Need to go back to the general store model where there are display items out and the stock is in the back, and you tell the clerk what you need and they bring it out for you.


Obviously some people can't be civilized

Avoid those stores.

It may not be easy, but it's simple as hell and effective en mass. It's also literally your only means of impact - moaning and bitching, writing your congressman, even voting won't do shite.

Here's the problem. The more acceptable criminal behavior becomes and the more it is ignored, the more it will spread. Eventually you won't be able to avoid it.

Rocks don't get too exhausted to give a shite.

What do you want the casual observer in that store do? Attempt to stop them? WHy? So the perps can beat the good samaritan half to death? So the "woke" store can sue or fire the observer for daring to do what's right?

To hell with stores that allow this. I hope they all go bankrupt.

The fact that nobody has the balls or conviction to stop these frickers is as sad as them stealing……. Look at those faces

Zero fricks given.
Almost daring somebody to do or say so thing to them about their criminal fricking actions.


I couldn’t wouldn’t just stand there and watch…. But I’m not a pussy so there's that.

I don’t think that’s what he’s saying, Bug. He’s acknowledging that it’s becoming commonplace for this and it feeds into itself.

Early definitely supports this. Those kids have similar 401ks to his

or just go 100% curbside.

i think that's the more likely option. that way you've got local stores and not everything has to be shipped. they just won't have doors for the public. you order online via an app. pick out of pick time/date/location and they bring it out to your car in the parking lot that's heavily monitored.

it sucks. but something like that is coming, because we can't have honest conversations.
