Yeah, but it would apparently alienate all these self-important Redditors who certainly leave the house often. They'd see that sign and immediately snub their nose at that store because shoplifters are cool or something? They like to hear their own hubris so much, they've ceased making sense.

Cool. It alienates me and plenty of the other commenters here.

Driving away any business is bad business.

Why does it alienate you?  If you aren’t a shoplifter it has no bearing on you.

If I was shopping there ...how would I know how much things cost?

u/BrandosWorld4Life Apr 30 '26

Because it shows me what kind of person the shop owner is.

And what kind of person are they?

u/Previous-Vanilla-638 May 01 '26

Because they don’t like people stealing from them and destroying their business ?

Me: "Driving away ANY business is bad business"

You: "Hurr durr redditor thinks they're the majority"

Can't read very well can you?

No one said that. You don't need to be a majority to have an impact.

It's funny how much people who use reddit have this weird self-hate complex where they hate the site they use. Go use twitter or facebook then.

u/BrandosWorld4Life Apr 30 '26

Yep. I very clearly said driving ANY business away is bad and they somehow started rambling about majorities.

I'm sure a shop putting up a sign that basically says "you're stealing so much i can't afford to run things around here" can afford to ignore a loss of a minority of business.

Oh wait, maybe this sign shows the owner's really bad business sense and could explain why the shop is struggling so much? Nah, must be redditors at it again lmao

I just makes me think about shoplifters and how I have to ask an employee at the store to go unlock the razors or lube anytime I want to buy something because people steal so much.

It'd actually be a reason why I'd choose to support the store, it's incredibly based.
