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.
This is the Trudeau economy at work
I thought poverty. Would be a major cause of this. If you’re not shoplifting food, at least the items you steal can be sold.
If you can’t beat them ... Steal from them .
It's called a Anti-inflation Clawback
When you do it, it's stealing. When they do it, it's inflation.
Crime rises with inflation. A is A
Well Loblaws made $556 million in their 3rd quarter, up $463 million from last quarter.
When the citizenry has been beaten down it will surge.
Why not a government mandated price freeze? The prices today are the prices 6 months from now. Just chill everyone out.
Steal everything you can from corporations. Give generously to your friends and family.
Stop trying to be like San Francisco.
The parallel between California's and Canada's decline are stunning. It's almost like it's a leadership and policy issue.
It’s going to get worse
Thanks JT! We love you
Western societies are declining morally🥲
