#Amazon would theoretically be the best candidate for shoplifting. Obviously anti-capitalists would have a bone to pick with Amazon. But even those who don’t outright condemn capitalism, Amazon is still probably the most unethical retailer in the world nonetheless.

Amazon has reportedly designed its brick and mortar shops so that the normal way of shopping is just to grab your stuff and walk out, and let facial recognition sort out the billing. Does that mean shoplifters can cover their face and get away with it? Surely Amazon must have thought that through. Has anyone looked into that?

      They also own Whole Foods. Perhaps an ethical shoplift would be to take animal products from there.
