Why is it considered a felony rather than simple theft or shoplifting?

In the thread, they describe how the company waited until they had recorded multiple instances of theft by the suspect until the total amount of stolen goods had exceeded the threshold for a felony.

This is the kind of work and effort you have to put in when the legal system stops caring about small dollar value theft. This isn't some anti-california thing either, I don't believe the cops when they say they don't go after small dollar crimes because of the DA because cops having been ignoring small time crime my entire life. They're just too lazy.

When my job gives me a task that's hard and complicated and has lots of paperwork, I don't get to say "naw I don't want to".

Screw these people. Low ethics, theft raises prices over time.

Although these self checkout machines reduce low skill employment opportunities, I think helped by reducing prices to a small degree .. at least until people began to feel entitled to steal
