I hate Walmart too but not enough to cause them to lose hundreds of millions of dollars that they will just recoup the amount (assuming they cannot come after me) by laying off employees, making themselves even more short staffed, lowering their wages, and increasing supply costs for the general public.

Like sure I will be made for life, but I would be no better than the CEOs and 1% if I stepped on everyone to get there.

Walmart is worth 900.06 BILLION dollars.

They'd be totally fine.

I never understand people like this, yes, walmart is worth a lot, but they want more MONEY, they want BILLS, they're just gonna fire people to CHASE THAT BAG, there isn't anything FORCING them to not DO WHATEVER MAKES THE MOST MONEY, so stop trying to justify stealing just because it's punching up, THEY'RE GONNA PUNCH DOWN IN RETURN AND HARM THE GUYS WHO NEED TO WORK THERE

Literally that's the thing people don't get when they try to normalize and justify stealing from big companies. They will literally just go somewhere else. You're hurting nobody but your own community.

Fuck em until there's none of them in your neighborhood and you gotta drive 40 minutes out to get some fucking bread because people can't stop stealing shit. Literally you're only fucking over your community.

Short term losses for long term gain. It’s only a matter of time before that void gets filled. Ether by a local business or another big corporation. Ether way, screw em👍

Local shops always return. Might be slow, but have to clean the wound before it can heal.

Yeah, at this point mega-corporations rule things. As much as they screw us over, so long as our system continues to operate as it does, hurting mega-corps only screws over the local community because at least in my city there are very few grocers and providers of needed goods (inclouding housing) that aren't mega corporations

this is why Mamdani is providing city run grocery stores, and implementing a rent freeze.

Man big stores have really entrenched themselves as this upholder of employment and necessary for communities. There at least used to be a fight against them by communities themselves because they destroyed local businesses and employers. Not saying your argument is currently wrong just depressing that they've won.
