Excerpt:
Banksy isn’t happy with Guess’ latest collaboration.
The legendary anonymous graffiti artist had a directive for his followers on Friday, encouraging them—possibly tongue in cheek, possibly not—to visit the Regent Street Guess store in London and steal the brand’s new collection that features his artwork.
“Attention all shoplifters. Please go to Guess on Regents Street. They’ve helped themselves to my artwork without asking, how can it be wrong for you to do the same to their clothes?”
The people that will be affected most are the front line staff who is already working on minimum wages…not the multinational corp
They won’t, they are encouraged to let the shoplifters shoplift, because it’s just collateral.
In turn the company will seize operations in that area and the cashiers will lose their jobs.
Great job.
You think Guess is going to let their flagship London store go over some shoplifting?
Yes, at enough volume in theft they will just close the shop.

You just advocated for it. If you dont want it becoming the norm, why would you recommend people to do it. And yes. They will close even the biggest store, if the lost revenue rises high enough.
Especially if it becomes the norm and morally accepted.

So what’s this?
If the company is paying you minimum wage you really struggle to give a shit about people stealing from them
