Unless you live where I do, where people steal mass amounts of junk food from convenience stores and then resell it at the nighttime markets to our struggling, marginalized, population of unhoused folks at an exploitative mark-up.
Because that is actively harming me, and the community I live in.
Though even with all that, confronting or reporting them isn't helpful. But if asked, and I saw it, I would say so.
Hey, this is a thread about supporting shoplifters not price gougers.
nah still fine. if its cheaper than corpo prices, and nobody but corporate ghouls loses, why risk hurting someone over that?
They sell it at higher prices to the mentally ill and drug addicted people who are at those markets which are usually referred to as "open air drug markets." I don't like that term but it may give you reference to how this harms the community, though.
what's wrong with drugs?
They mentioned "exploitative mark-up". They arent cheaper, they are just more convenient.
yeah that's not great, but also, these are people the stores wouldn't allow in in the first place? so while shitty, its not worse for them.
Why dont those people just buy the food from the Store ?
Stores close and you can't get fentanyl at those stores as easily.
