The funny thing is after I got called a cop over the fight over IP piracy, my position is that shoplifting isn't nearly as big a deal in the grand scheme of things It's priced into the cost of running a store and has never forced some kind of sea change on how retail workshttps://twitter.com/Ettin64/status/1248809400342441985 …

Ironically, the Internet, by replacing brick-and-mortar retail with delivery services, has made shoplifting of the traditional kind much more difficult (and by so doing imposed a certain degree of burden on the poor) but people don't seem to really complain about that

Anyway of course I don't think shoplifters as a general class of people are somehow heroes but the sheer amount of Internet rage over someone drawing a comic *depicting* shoplifting from when they were younger is just very... interesting to me

In philadelphia, the clerk who witnessed a theft would only show up to the trial if the store paid them for the time (duh). The store would only put their money where their mouth was for large value thefts/repeat-thieves. The market… actually sends a valuable signal!

(Probably other places too but I haven’t done criminal work in retail theft elsewhere)

There is a joke about the dreamcast. The consoles were quite common; nobody bought the games.
