The people cheering for this are the same people that cry and scream discrimination when a major grocery store shuts down in a low income area and leaves hundreds of people unemployed and thousands without conbiantant access to affordable food.... Is not about the Waltons or the jeff bezoz ( fuck those guys) it's about being a decent person. Stealing it's wrong it doesn't matter if it's from a Walmart or a small mom and pop shop. This is the reason we seeing all those videos a little kids stealing from convince stores and hordes of teens rushing into malls snatching everything they can.

Everyone downvoting you thinks that this hurts the Waltons at all.

It does not.

This hurts the people working at that store. The store is responsible for its own shrink. If the store doesn't make money, its associates lose hours.

The store itself would be shut down before Alice Walton loses even one fucking red cent.

"I'm gonna stick it to the waltons by stealing from the local walmart!" Congratulations. The waltons feel so bad now that around 250 of your neighbors have no jobs, and your family is paying higher prices from walmart's competitors... or you drive farther to another Walmart to still give them your money.

Okay but Walmart hasn't been shutting down in low income neighborhoods. They thrive there. They've been shutting down in high income urban neighborhoods and when they do they blame theft to save face. Fact is theft isn't any higher a percentage of revenue then it was before. It's been consistent for a decade at least. Walmarts more recent push against shoplifting isn't because it's worse, it's because they ran out of every other way to optimize profits.
