Grocery prices were up 11 per cent year-over-year in October and they’re not expected to ease any time soon

. The total cost of groceries for a family of four is expected to be $1,065 more than it was this year, according to the most recent edition of Canada’s Food Price Report.

Charlebois said inflation and grocery theft are affecting one another, meaning when prices go up, shoplifting surges, and to offset the loss, businesses have no other option but to further increase the prices. “Retail crime, including theft and arson, is sadly higher than it historically has been at Walmart Canada and across the entire retail industry,” she said.Fefer said the company is implementing measures to prevent and reduce theft in order to keep prices low and keep its employees and customers safe.

“There is great concern among Canadian businesses right now about crime, and crime in Canadian workplaces,” he said. “Shoplifting is definitely being felt more, especially as we’ve come out of lockdown and restrictions.” “Fewer people on the floor … makes shoplifters feel a little less intimidated to go in and take something,” he said, adding that employees and customers alike feel more “intimidated and nervous” walking into the stores.

She pointed to the economic downturn, a growing resale market for stolen goods and an increase in organized crime as other factors behind the surge.

Dear Globe and Mail. Your continued overuse of the term 'experts' is really annoying.

In Winnipeg at the Super Store on Portage Ave West you have had the City Police pulling security duty in the store. Uniformed police officers at entrance and exits. Its been happening for the last few years.

Shoplifting is good, people need fed. The wealthy don’t share so next best thing, start now and you should be through court and have a one , bath, bed like a bachelor pad.

Galen Weston isn’t worried about being able to afford Christmas dinner with all the fixings this year.

Well DA! If they can’t afford it, steal it! Greedy corporations, will suck it up!

Let me fix the title: Groceries shoplifting is happening because Grocery corporate greed is on the rise. Groceries are unaffordable for many Canadians to purchase,

People dem gotta eat

Libflation.

Hope these crooks are eating the food not selling them

You didn't see anything.

This is sad 😞

Trudeau is like Biden. Beware Canada, vote conservative.

Almost like people can't afford to eat or something

But Canada is not broken

Actually not new even before the pandemic, my brother runs a grocery store!

Maybe they should consider not profiteering so people aren't desperate enough to steal food

Grocery shoplifting on the rise in Canada amid inflation, industry insiders sayShoplifting has surged to an alarming level across Canada, industry insiders say, with inflation and labour shortages cited as major factors behind the increase. Must be the anti vaxxers. Crashing cars. Stealing groceries. And breathing global warming. Always remember...if you see someone stealing food, you didn't. It has always been a huge problem. Most of it is done by organized crime groups, and people who make a living through theft.
