    No one shoplifts formula to feed their own baby, they steal it to literally scalp it to those who actually do need it, at a fat markup, after conveniently draining the store’s supply so they’re the only source.

    They’re not Robin Hoods sticking it to the Big Bad Corporation. They’re profiteering scumbags.

      Bold assumption that no one shoplifts baby formula to use it

      There will be people who are desperate enough to do so (I’ve even known a few)

      The amount of people I’ve known who have stolen food for themselves or their kids is more than those who haven’t
