Well maybe... Concerned citizens might tackle him, hold him down with as many people as it takes, and hold him until the police get there to exercise their public mandate to him into custody. Just a thought. Kind of old fashioned. That still legal?

Theft increases prices for the rest of us. If they file a claim with their insurance, it increases insurance rates for them and every other business in their zip code, which increases prices for the rest of us.

More capitalist propaganda you took as “common sense” that isn’t. Market pressure will always ensure that retailers keep prices competitive (assuming commodification), so companies eat the vast majority of shrink. The same for insurance.

They can only eat so much of they are going to stay in business. That's why homeowners insurance goes up after a bad hail storm year. The point is, destructive behavior like this, in the aggregate, affects all of us.

The amount that they could eat is far beyond what could ever occur. Look, I’m not advocating for shoplifting. But focusing on this microscopic drop in the bucket vs the oceans of impropriety that corporations inflict by design is a distraction.

I would caveat that not all actions by corporations are beneficial. But capitalism is simply about people being free to make choices about who they interact and transact with. Theft, in aggregate, is destructive to that relationship.

I appreciate your civil approach to this discussion. I believe you’re describing free market commerce though, not capitalism. Trade and business can be conducted under socialism just as well as capitalism; the only difference is who owns the companies.
