This is really rich coming from the NYT, which is about to shut down the Boston Globe and lay off hundreds.

What’s wrong with you? Supermarkets are rich and can absorb the loss the person stealing might be poor.

Just kidding. But that was his rationale. As I pointed out in my letter to AmSpec super market managers are responsible for inventory losses. Also the cashier might be suspected of aiding and abetting. If I see someone trying to sneak product out of a store I would inform the store management being that I’m more ethical than the jerk.
