“This wasn’t just a case of someone trying to ‘meat’ their budget. This was a calculated, ‘high-steaks operation’ that left two stores with significant losses,” Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said on January 30

Glad the sheriff is steaking this seriously.

But the rest of the article was butchered. No point beefing about it now.

A Publix no less, a company valued at $50 billion, who is currently facing a federal class action for forcing hourly workers to work during breaks and off the clock, and who settled a separate lawsuit in 2000 after stealing $1.1 million in wages from its employees. No arrests made for any of these thousands of thefts, yet this guy is facing felony charges for stealing a few hundred dollars in product (actual cost not 'retail value').

A $1,000 theft is a felony, so, yes.

My conspiracy gland wonders whether that limit is ever adjusted for inflation, and since it's (probably) not, if it's intentional to funnel more money/people into the privatized prison system.
