Yeah, I mean, it's insane -- I've actually seen signs in convenience stores lately that say "no more than 2 students/teens allowed in the store at one time."

Sure, I saw those signs as far back as the 1980s as well, but I've seen them recently too!

When did anyone say retail theft isn't happening? I'm starting to think you're actually as stupid as you act which would be pretty impressive, really.

i have seen this troll drawing a few times. while i fancy myself up to date with the kids on all their idiotic political memes, can someone explain the significance of the guy with a bizarrely contorted face crying with the surge protector growing out of his head and plugged into itself?

i have no doubt it is clever but i'm missing what is connoting about the inadequacy of the person arguing the opposing viewpoint and their ability to reason.

Lol. Go back in this thread dipshit.  
 

I’ll get you started. The linked CNN article was referenced ad-nauseam as proof.
 

Quote

This article revisits the one that I think you based this thread upon. It includes the following:

”In a major shift, Walgreens, which said it saw a spike in shrink during the pandemic and cited organized retail crime in its decision to close five San Francisco stores in 2021, is backtracking.

“Maybe we cried too much last year” about shrink numbers, Walgreens finance chief James Kehoe said on an earnings call earlier this month.

During its latest quarter, the company’s shrink rate fell to around 2.5% from 3.5% of total sales last year.”

That story neither says nor implies that retail theft isn't happening. It says that Walgreens was lying about organized retail crime rings being a big problem for them. That is not nearly the same thing as teenagers shoplifting from an easy store target. 

You basically just proved my supposition about your intelligence correct if you can't understand what you read.

I once stole a pack of baseball cards from a convenience store when I was eleven years old. Thread hits close to home.

Organized crime rings are recruiting young participants you colossal fucking dildo.  This isn’t teen rebellion lifting a pack of bubblegum

This largely doesn’t happen outside of the hood.  I find it hard to believe anyone gaf if said residents steal from their local stores until they are forced to close their doors.

Is this the new self own GQP rage thread about how our country is going to shit without realizing their policies created this issue? They will "own the libs" while not owning anything but themselves? 

GQP, start with the deficit your folks created and then look at who the tax cuts for the last 50 years benefitted. You might have an IQ point left to figure out the issue.

Everybody should go back to their own country.  I'm currently deciding which of the 6 countries my people are descended from that I should go back to.
