    Edit: Oh, do the thieves not like the comment? Too bad. Stop stealing. No, you’re not fucking ‘The Man’, you’re fucking all over the hard-working and overworked retail workers and their stores. So fuck you.

    Yup, incoming more salty responses from illogical dipshits with their mental gymnastics.

    Here’s an idea - stop planting your stores in places where crime is prominent. Threaten towns that if they don’t clean their crime act, they won’t get a store that’ll be convenient for people living there.

    Pulling back on self-checkout too? Self-Checkout can actually still be of use, if it was more modernized and monitored. Also, if people adequately did their jobs too.

    Other than theft, people are online shopping for other reasons. Maybe they don’t want to spend too much on gas going to a location an hour or longer away, find out that the shit they want isn’t available so they’ve gotta now go around town just picking store after store until they get even a quarter of what they want.

    Maybe people don’t want to put up with all of the shitstains that manage to collect enough braincells to get up and go out, with their wailing stupid kids and their need to obstruct anyway they can while they motion around like fucking zombies.

      They won’t have a big box store come in, starve out all of the small businesses, and force their town into indentured servitude where everyone has to work there, they’re not paid a living wage, and they can only afford to shop at the big box store, further increasing the problem in a vicious cycle?

      The horror, I tell you.

        How often do more ethical businesses swoop in to rent out the spaces formerly occupied by indentured servitude corporations? If these businesses aren’t replaced by something, what will the people formerly working there do for an income?

        Lemme tell you the amount of plaza chains and stuff that are built around and near big-box stores. Do you just live in a town where it’s just one big box store? Please…

        The ignorance of your comment.

          Your ignorance is showing. A hell of a lot of people do live in towns where the only options are a big box store, or equally shitty dollar stores.

      But how will Americans survive without shopping?

        Doesn’t everyone everywhere need to shop unless they’re subsistence farmers that weave their own clothes?

      I don’t know what you all wrote, but the first couple paragraphs just scream asshole.

      I think whatever responses you don’t like are more in reaction to your tone.
