I don’t know about your context, but in my country people say the same thing… but grocery store profit margins hover reliably around 3%. That’s not price gouging, and it doesn’t take much theft to seriously eat into it.

I mean maximizing their profits by trying to prevent shoplifting. More shoplifting, stores will do more to prevent it.
