      Nobody lives in a food desert (not sure why you felt the need to do scare quotes there) because of customers ringing up avocados as bananas.

        I guess overall theft can be a burden to stores so areas where that happen more often (poorer areas I’d guess) are more burdened by that and less profitable. But of course it’s not just because of a singular thing.

        This is 1000% the same meme as the “States rights to do what motherfucker?”
