Thats petty theft or larceny. A person commits petty theft (sometimes referred to a misdemeanor theft) when the value of the item taken is less than a specified amount, such as $500. The guy told my friend, they actually come in with a list, get everything they need and walk out.
Note, $500 is the old $25. Everything costs 20 X more. On average. The manager even told the assistant manager to help them carry it out to the car.
The thieves these days are not bothered because they are VICTIMES of the US economy, globalization, off shoring jobs, and a minimum wage that is too low to live on. The old $2 s/b $40/hr today.
We all know the Media used to claim 2% inflation for decades to screw Social Security and minimum wage when we all knew it was 7% inflation. Also all the small businesses used gov’t numbers of 2% for raises.
PS Remember that idiot convenience store manager that called the Police because a drug addict named George Floyed tried to pass a fake $20 bill??? The poor cops ruined their lives are in jail, and numerous destructions, burning and looting.
