      It’s not whataboutism. You said shoplifters drive up prices. That is objectively false, as demonstrated by the disparity between what is lost to shrinkage (less than 2%, and that includes all shrinkage, not just shoplifting) and food waste, roughly 30-40% of all food in the USA.

      Your anger is misplaced, and you are actively making society worse.

          you said (wrongly) “shoplifters are contributing to rising grocery prices”, and then, once corrected, doubled down (but now without any clear reasoning as to why) that shoplifters are somehow affecting your life and are worse than any one else (?!?!).

          So I drew attention to how you’re similar to a character from classic French literature who has a similar motivation, and yet I’m the immature one?
