I used to wonder how Amazon (et al) could survive with a biz model of hand-delivering your goods when Walmart (et al) is convenient for all to get to, but uses the economies of scale for "delivering the goods". The great equalizer may be theft. It may be cheaper to hand-deliver things, with zero theft, than to efficiently distribute them, and have half of them stolen. The "smash and grab" gang thefts get all the attention but there's plenty of individual shop-lifting too. Talk about a breakdown in trust.

I am paying $24 a lb for rib eyes at safeway where I live. I think the overhead of a physical store will never beat internet done by a conglomerate. That being said crime is out of control and gets passed onto the consumer. Add to that the supply chain issues due to covid and over seas issues. Then top that off with pete buttlicker the bain of Notre Dame and South bend running the transportation department and WALLAA instant inflation.

They should lock the thieves in cages instead
Problem is the world we live in. They are afraid to go after them because they might sue you. As an example at Home depot, people can walk right out of the store with 100ft of 16/2 wire and the employees are not permitted to stop them. They had to lock it in cages to stop, same as walmart, and if the price is high enough the employee will walk you to the checkout with them carrying the product, to make it harder to steel.

Sad for sure. I miss America
 
Heck shoplifting is not even chargeable in some states until its like a $1000. If your ballsy enough to walk out with a stack of steaks and no ones gonna stop ya who wouldnt? And its a crying shame that those of us that work and pay taxes etc are stuck with the bill of this theft.

It's sad when a certain group of politicians get elected and are in charge! Sure glad I live in a flyover state! If that shit happens here there would probably be customers chasing people down. Glad there's still some respect left in the heartland!

It's not only happening here in the US. Look at Canada. Push enough people to the breaking point and try to take enough freedoms and eventually "the people" push back and re-take their country. We are on the cusp here in America. Anyway that's pretty much all I have on that topic without getting banned.......FREE THE BEEF, FREE AMERICA!
