Corporate Control 💼 Gotta secure the...cheese?
It's hard out here for a multibillion grocery chain. They be taking the cheese. God knows what they're doing with it.

If I recall right, cheese is one of the most stolen items out there.

When I worked in retail it was batteries and vitamins. The elderly stole the most. That was about 15 years ago so probably had changed

I was at a department store the other day lookomg to buy a jacket and a few other things and they were locked up with a wire.
I couldnt even try them on so i left.

What’s stopping someone from just cutting the wires?
Do the wires even connect to the ground, or do they just wrap around the cheese?

It's an alarm system. Cut the wires and the alarm triggers.

I understand that there are some expensive cheeses, but that's not a wheel of Parmigiano regiano, or however the fuck you spell that shit.
Actually, I used a comma in front of or the correct way, though, according to the Guide of Style or whatever the hell that book from High School was called. The only other thing I truly remember is that it was written by E.B. White and some other douchebag that thought using punctuation was like super important. What the hell, guyz, I wish you'd be able to come back from the dead, and try to read a tiktok comment.

What? I have to know, what did the "Guide of Style" have to say about using the comma in front of? I was not clear what you were referring to there? And of course, I live to be stylish ;)

More than Walmart does anyway. Almost all of those proceeds probably went towards a store in the area.

Used to know a guy who would lift steaks all in a bag and everything. I’ll take my half price steaks my guy I appreciate the effort.

Investing in butter had a higher ROI than Bitcoin in the past few years so not surprised by this.

Those are such annoying fucking locks too. Guarantee the poor retail worker is cursing them every time they have to take one of them off.
