GeorginaS said:So your opinion, then, is that lower-income people have a larger portion of criminals or people predisposed to crime in their population. I think there's some bigotry there.
it's only one element, but it's not bigotry if it's true. i actually worked in a grocery store once, one that many of the customers walked (not drove) to. you would not believe the number of people that shove steaks under their clothes and run out the door.
Not when they're the only large-chain grocery store in the area. There are several examples scattered through the city where I live.
there's obviously not much profit potential where you live.
Why is "captive audience" an invalid reason? Ever check out the cost of a very bad sandwich on an airplane?
i've never paid for a sandwich on a plane. whatever wasn't part of the package, i waited until my destination.
Earning maximum profit by any means available, including using information such as demographics, has no moral compass. It's simply capitalism. There is no assumption of "nice" or "mean" involved.
And again, those are big box stores, are they not? And where are the located? And what is the best way to access those stores?
i think cities have these things called buses and trains.
