i understand security doing their (shitty) job. but it boggles my mind how customers inform on each other for free. just for the joy of licking boot (slrpnk.net)

making it your job, you’re just as fucked up as the company you’re stealing from.

Thats a bold statement. Its pretty hard to do wage theft, disregard work place safety, dodge taxes in the billions, spy on your employees, etc as a (professional) thief.

Also someone mentioned stealing baby formula in this thread. Stealing it does not make you as bad as Nestle, one of the biggest producers of baby formula.

If you're just stealing it to resell? Maybe not as bad as nestle because that's hard to achieve, but it's still profiting off of someone else's labor.

Stealing /anything/ from Nestlé is doing a good service to the world. Doesn’t matter if you use it, resell it, or just trash it.

Stealing a Nestlé something from a shop is a bit complicated but you could say fuck that shop for having Nestlé in their supply chain. If a shop has enough stock “shrinkage” in #Nestlé products, it could drive a good outcome: stock discontinuance.
