Explain how you get your answer?

$100. He left with $70 of goods and $30.

Store owners' actual loss is close to Zilch.

Closer to $10 than you might imagine.

Retail PRICES for honest shoppers already

include about a 10% surcharge ...to cover

LOSSes due to thieves, shoplifters, etc.

PLUS another 10% to cover the Super Store's

own BUNgling mistakes - as in UK's TESCO

selling Horse Meat under the guise of BEST

British Beef...ffs !!! ???

Year on Year...Tesco - Asda (Walmart) and even

Waitrose assert they make LITTLE profit...from

Milking Customers, Farmers and Dodging Tax

Gatherers...in their Off-shore registered Island

Head Quarters.

$100, because I stole $100 and went back to buy goods for $70 with the same $100 bill I stole. So far he lost $70 because I essentially gave $30 back when I bought the goods. However, the cashier gave me $30 in change so overall the cashier lost $100 in total.

Think about it. The cashier lost $30 in cash and $70 worth of goods which totals up to $100.

The store owner lost $100, but he made some profit from the second purchase. Just think of the thief as 2 persons. For the owner it is the same outcome as if one person steals $100 and then the other person makes a purchase or if one person steals $100 and makes a purchase. $30 is a regularly given change on the order.

It is a dumb question. Why would he shop at the store that he stole the money from? Even if he did, why would he pay for the stuff, when he can steal it like the money?
