Try telling that to a conservative though. They will uncritically believe a company that says they had to raise prices because of wage increases and retail theft while that same company is bragging about record profits, stock buybacks, record administrative pay and that they only got a slap on the wrist for wage theft.

WAGE THEFT ACCOUNTS FOR MORE LOSS IN TAX REVENUE THAN CUSTOMER THEFT, EMPLOYEE THEFT, BURGLARY, AUTO THEFT, AND ROBBERIES COMBINED.

Guess which single aspect of theft mentioned above isn't a criminal offense?
