“shoplifting hurts workers!”
the workers are already being hurt, compañero
When you shoplift the company takes the price of the shoplifted object out of the employee who was workings paycheck. So it really does hurt workers because companies don’t care as long as they’re getting their money at the end of the day
This is called wage theft and it’s literally illegal to dock a worker’s pay for lost or stolen items. If your employer is doing this you can take them to court if it results in you being paid below the minimum wage.
blaming lack of workers rights on poor people who resort to stealing, rather than capitalists, is one of the most despicable thing tumblr discourse ever did tbh
