Canadian grocery shoplifters brag on social, feeling justified
January 17, 2023
Dalhousie University professor Sylvain Charlebois recently decried the level of shrink in Canadian grocery stores in a Twitter post, castigating consumers who somehow feel that spiking food costs justifies the crime. “According to some industry data, an average-sized food retail store in Canada can have between $2,000 and $5,000 worth of groceries stolen per week,” he wrote. In response came a barrage of retorts from many who implied it is consumers who are being victimized, not stores. “Some of you have never seen Les Mis and it shows,” wrote one Twitter follower.
