Shoplifting is a complete joke in the UK. Eat as much as you want everyday for free without consequence lol.

This very issue is shutting down stores in the US. More shoplifters than people with money.

Walmart has closed 3 stores near me due to theft. Other walmart stores now have off duty cops in uniform that will detain you if you commit a crime. I don't scan some things that the self checkout occasionally, but I always make sure I have cash to buy it if caught. I agree that it's not really hurting Walmart, but they can and do close stores that have high theft. It seems like the perfect victimless crime, but in the end you may hurt the community if they close stores close to people.
Megacorps are closing stores and blaming it on loss from theft when they really just made some stupid and greedy decisions about where to build new stores and then have to close them. But they can just blame the poor for their folly and then we get the blame for destroying their business when they didn't need any help from us.
Not saying stealing shit from groceries is a smart idea or anything, but the stories we've been told about multi-billion-dollar corporate stores closing due to loss from poor-people theft are false.
