It would be tolerable if it was one or two people. But as recent news have shown once people see there is little consequence in stealing up to a certain amount then it emboldens people and it happens in large numbers.
So a bunch of mouth breathers think stealing from the rich corporation is ok. It happens in numbers and then draconian measures that punish employees and/or law abiding, tax paying and merch paying citizens are enacted.
Always.
So no, this shit ain't victimless in the long run.
And the worst part is that this mentality does not stop a big retail stores. This sordid mentality that it's ok to steal doesn't prevent thieves from stealing from smaller business that cannot handle the loss of inventory as easily.
These stores pay the ultimate price by firing staff and/or shutting down.
Why? Cause thieves rarely differentiate. If you steal that's pretty much your life. And that's your thing.
