Re: morally reprehensible stuff

Local transportation in my city is rising prices constantly (I think we have the most expensive service in the continent as now) thanks to all the people that sneak in without paying and the fact that they haven't been able to stop that.

In this case they don't even lose anything by carrying a few (ok, more than a few but it's not even 2% of the users) extra passengers, but all those unpaid tickets are being paid by the people who do pay for the service.

Thinking corporations (whether retail ones or other kind) just "take the lose" is naive. They care far too much about their profit to not make someone else pay.

Re: morally reprehensible stuff

But that's a completely different situation, both morally (it's a public utility, not a corporation) and economically (it's a public utility, not a corporation).

A public service like transportation probably has some kind of mandate or goal of keeping prices low and ensuring wide access, and it's a question of getting necessary funding to keep going. A corporation doesn't give a shit about any of that; it's (for the most part) a question of maximizing revenue. Of course they'd like to make someone else pay for shoplifting, if possible, but price increases would not be an effective tool. If they were an effective tool, the corporation would probably already have implemented them regardless of shoplifting.
