    Your local Kroger isn’t robbing you. Neither are their suppliers in general, but even so you are not punishing them by shoplifting. The store already paid the producer for it regardless of whether the item is sold or stolen, meaning they don’t care either way.

    If you want to steal, that’s your prerogative, but don’t pretend that you’re morally justified to take out your frustrations on someone unrelated.

        Yeah they went from like 1-2% to like 5%… Which for a grocery store is insane and I precedented. Normal grocery stores have never been good profits. In 100 years they all basically barely break even

        So to see them actually turn a profit is fucking unheard of

        A few specialists grocery stores have better margins but it’s rare.

      Whatever a “Kroger” might be, but luckily the world has morally intact people like you! And I’m not frustrated, it’s not about the money, it’s the principle. Someone in the chain did raise prices for items I can’t boycott, I don’t care who. Also I don’t need justification. To whom should I justity? to you? lol.

        Kroger is a grocery chain in the US that is attempting to monopolize grocery stores.

        It is always moral and just to steal from Kroger.

          Monopolize? Great. Should I ever visit the US (no I would not), I’d go there and steal a lot :)

            The bad news is Kroger isn’t everywhere.

            The good news is you don’t actually have to go to a Kroger.

            You can go to any of: Bakers, City Market, Dillons, Food4Less, frys, Foods Co, Fred Myer, Gerber Market, Harris Market, Jay C, King Super, Mariano’s, Metro Market, PayLess, QFC, Ralphs, Ruler Foods, or Smith’s food and drug, and steal from them.
