Almost like the cost of living is unachievable for those on the lowest wages.

    Premium cuts maybe but in my experience, meat is honestly one of the first things you steal if you’re poor and hungry.

    Eating nothing but rice, ramen, flour/water, and $1 bread all the time makes you tired and anaemic, and it just sort of feels like stealing some mince or a steak is going to fix that.

      Meat products are also reasonably easy to conceal, too.

        Yep. Must be a lot harder these days with all the cameras but still, they tend to be located in an area where shoppers do a lot of bending over and rummaging.
