You hear a lot more about people stealing a stick of deodorant from a drug store than corporations stealing millions from their workers

I was never told that in advance. I thought the increase will be a few dollars.

Then I filed a consumer complaint with my state's Attorney General office.

I was lucky to know where to file a complaint, otherwise I'd be out of luck. The company was, IMHO, trying to legally stealing my money. It knew what it was doing & didn't care.

Shoplifting is not okay, but our focus should be on fixing much bigger problems.
It's going to be more of a problem next administration.
I wish it was the other way around.

Greed sucks.
But Burger King and Popeyes, yeah, I can see them ripping kids off.
People stealing basic necessities = straight to jail
Who steals the goose from off the Common
But let the villain run loose
Who steals the Common from under the goose

Anyway, the MSM elevated the corporate lie about shrinkage. What wasn’t covered as much was this part
They just pay a traffic ticket.
I've seen lots of funny men;
Some will rob you with a six-gun,
And some with a fountain pen.
And as through your life you travel,
Yes, as through your life you roam,
You won't never see an outlaw
Drive a family from their home.
