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.
Inadvertently saw how much these types are making at my company the other day and been depressed ever since
I think about how, in the british empire like 1800s ruling india and shit, part of why it became more effective is that they ended the practice of being able to buy a position and replaced it with merit hiring.
And MBAs… that’s very very similar to buying a position. If you have $50-200k spare or the capacity to get that far into debt, you are buying yourself a rung in the corporate ladder.
Well-regarded MBAs openly advertise the fact their network is the bigger part of the value they offer. The seal of approval matters more than actual learning. And you can just buy it.
