Organized crime groups are behind grocery store theft across Canada
The Retail Council of Canada is calling grocery store theft a national crisis, with losses now approaching $10 billion annually across the grocery sector and it’s only growing.
Honestly it sounds more like a crisis for the retail council of Canada rather than a national crisis.
“Eastern European organized crime has certainly been involved, and this isn’t just a big city problem, it’s happening straight across the country,” says CTV News crime specialist, Mark Mendelson.
It’s Canada so of course they’re going to be racist about it as well.
Watch out, Canadians. Eastern Europeans are causing a national crisis by taking advantage of our assault on labor.
“People are running away, going to a car right away and giving that product to whoever’s in the car, in exchange for something. Its either drugs or money,” according to Ottawa Police Chief, Eric Stubbs
Eastern European drug addicts.
This month, Guelph police arrested a man who they claim swapped out expensive products for cheaper ones at self-checkouts. Police claim that the individual in question, would scan items that cost less than one dollar, in exchange for baby formula priced at $97 dollars each.
BABY FORMULA COSTS $97 FUCKING DOLLARS????
They’re right, this is a national crisis.
Just last August, in Windsor, Ont. more than $220,000 worth of beef was stolen from a parked tractor trailer. The large-scale heist is another example of lucrative grocery crimes on the rise.
There are differing opinions on where items like black market beef are ending up. Mendelson and others who spoke to CTV News believe that some restaurants struggling to turn a profit are likely purchasing stolen goods. In some cases, smaller grocery stores and restaurants might not even realize they’re purchasing stolen food for their establishments.
Yeah sure they don’t realize this. They’re honest businessmen, buying misc meat off the back of a trailer in an alley. They wouldn’t be the “organized” part of this crime. Actually, they’re victims.
Walmart is a mad max scene just not the reasons they think. Everyone there from the workers to the shoppers are poor and desperate mostly and pitted against each other. Hell in Muskogee Oklahoma the entire landscape of the city changed when the Walmart moved.
Its a fucking nightmare. But the cause is the ruling class, not the people like boomers think.
It's like that at big box stores, too.
Oh for sure. I just have a particular beef with Walmart because they are kind of the only ones in Oklahoma and they have not only destroyed a lot of people's lives around me but also my moms.
However I understand that they are all like that, and this is a deep seated biases. Not as many other box stores outside Tulsa and Oklahoma City in that state, so the grudge is very real.
I understand you. I avoid Walmart like the plague it is.
