It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

This is were the Judge Dread PUNISHMENT complex just gets in the way of effective business management.

There will always be some amount of shoplifters, and they generally fall into two categories: shoplifters of necessity, and shoplifters of thrill. Shoplifters of necessity tend to only engage in shoplifting for as long as it is the only option. Looking the other way and eating the (marginal, minuscule, rounding error) loss gives customers a chance, albeit as small one, to find their footing and return to normal shopping habits.

Thrill seekers tend to think of about shoplifting tactically; they target small, easily concealable products and mask the theft with another purchase. If you own or manage a shop, you oughta think about it like a [high risk/low reward] loss leader for your customers -- a bonus secret all-the-time sale that, while decreasing inventory, still brings in more money than it looses.

I know this is preaching to the choir on hexbear, but fuck me if it isn't frustrating that i - an idiot pinko liberal communism believer - have a better business sense about this than most owners/managers

You're forgetting me, shoplifter of principle, coming out of the store with as many stolen goods as possible as both protest of and action against the commodity form

To avoid statistical error, Shoplift Nagarjuna, who shoplifts over 10,000 products each day, has not been included in the compilation of this analysis.

Recent increase of shoplifting rhetoric is due to the inclusion of hexbear.net/c/Nagarjuna
