To all of the folks who think shoplifting is valid means of protesting against unfair and cruel labor practices: it most certainly isn't. The from corporation to factory to store is more complex than "hurt a little bit of their profit and they'll respond" entails: for the most part, garment corporations outsource production to independent factories abroad, which are only loosely bound by local laws and the corporations' own informal "codes of conduct" -- so the link between lost profits on the sales floor and labor conditions at the factory is fairly thin. Moreover, corporate executives have no idea that you're stealing from them because they abuse their workers abroad, so your "protest" comes across as a weak excuse for wanting to get cheap stuff without technically being a part of the harmful global supply chain.

If you really want to make a stand against the corporations, you ought to complain to them directly and spread the word about their labor practices around. Get more people upset about it!

These are good points.

Thiiis. The way people are trying to justify theft is amazing. Easing their conscience is all i can see - not actual care about sweatshops.

It's a similar level of rationalization you see in discussions about illegal downloads.
