Customers are fed up with anti-theft measures at stores. Retailers say organized crime is to blame | CBC News

Loblws is quite likely doing this deliberately, and not as a response to theft, but as a way to deflect from their record high profits. It’s all about finding someone else to blame for high prices. They need another villain in the piece and a convenient one is ‘thieves’.

In order to maximize profits and avoid hiring actual workers who want fair wages, Loblaws decided to use a system that is open to theft. Still they raked in record profits and continue to do so. Their oh poor me narrative is simply another way to justify charging you more and blaming it on anyone but themselves. ‘Look over there. It’s thieves who are making us charge these exorbitant prices, not us! We’re the victims here’. Well that is bull. . As long as we let them distract us this way, they can go on gouging us with our consent.
