    This article is written so your grandma reposts it to her Facebook page. It’s all right wing pearl clutching:

    “McHugh said these extra security measures to prevent thefts will only result in costs getting passed down to shoppers, which would make groceries even more expensive.”

    Grocery prices are up because teenagers made some posters!

      Theft is up? Raise prices to compensate.

      Increased headwind on distribution trucks? Raise prices to compensate.

      Mars is in retrograde? Raise prices to compensate.

      Supply stabilized and reduced our costs on goods? Raise prices to compensate.

      Its not exactly a threat if you’re going to do it anyway!

        People stealing food because the cost of living is high? Raise prices to compensate.

        People stealing food because the cost of living is even higher? Raise prices to compensate.

        People stealing food because the cost of living is too high? Raise prices to compensate.

        People stealing food because the cost of living is so high it becomes prohibitive to production? Raise prices to compensate.

        Why are young people not willing to work these days?

          This is how essex county was killing bus rideeship before. Rather than build additional stops and routes where people neeses to get to, they would complain ridership was low and raise ticket prices, which lowered ridership more, so they had to charge higher ticket prices…and so on

      "It doesn’t really make sense to me. I don’t understand what the motive is behind that. Why would anyone want to steal?” said Othman Ali, a regular shopper at Superstore.
