Both. Both are crimes and harm everyone.

I don’t get particularly angry at shoplifters, but as someone who’s hours were cut multiple times due to high levels of shrink in the past, it absolutely effects the employees
No matter what the real reason is, no matter what company you work for, they’re always going to blame cuts on customers or workers. Never has anyone said “we’re laying off your whole department because the CEO needs their $xx million per year. Because the shareholders said so.”

The same boss who got fired for trying to protect us from those cuts eh?

Bosses not boss. Blaming lower command is the batarang in a corporation’s utility belt.
Yeah it does. You rely entirely on the average person not being an absolute dick to get away with your supposedly moral ideal.
The moment more than like 25 percent of people think shoplifting is a good idea is the moment we can’t buy anything except from Amazon or the Walmart app and all grocery stores become delivery centers.

Not really at the same level, though.

Seems like the discussion started early in this post, usually that results in more comments. Please keep the rules in the sidebar in your mind before you comment. I would like to point a some that might be relevant:
- be constructive & empathic
- do not derail discussions with your concerns about morality or ethics
You can always use the pinned post Why a(nother) shoplifting community to talk about why you think stealing is wrong.
