Note the actual figures in the article; shoplifting has only just risen to match or slightly exceed pre pandemic levels. This is a manufactured narrative. There is no pandemic of shoplifting happening.

If you see someone stealing groceries, no you fucking didn't.

Hey man, I'm being asked to act as a cashier with no pay and with no training. If I accidentally punch in the code for peanuts when I'm buying macadamia nuts, or accidentally forget to scan my items, I don't see how that's my fault.

The real crime is the robbery of consumers by these grocery stores.

"In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread."

I wouldn't even consider it all intent to steal. Our Walmart is nothing but self checkouts and they put the oldest slowest dude at there only checkout. My friend walked out without scanning the cat food at the bottom of her cart and we didn't realize until the parking lot. No one has training so you can't expect 100% success.

Using googles AMP is a threat to the open web.

Also hire cashier and floor employees.
