A couple years ago I saw a (non-food) shoplifter in a Lidl store in Europe. Lidl is not a large exploitational chain like Wal·Mart or Amazon AFAICT, and Europe has a bit more control over capitalism than the rest of the world. So it seems like an unlikely target for anti-capitalist action. I spotted a shoplift in progress as I was exiting. I went to the Lidl website and tried to use the feedback mechanism to report the shoplifter. The website tried to force me to execute non-free Google JavaScript in order to solve a fucking #CAPTCHA. Fuck CAPTCHAs and fuck all those who would force me to solve a CAPTCHA esp. when forcing me to feed a surveillance capitalist like Google at the same time. I’m not going to use phone credit to call it in. And even if I could have called for free, CAPTCHAs need some negative consequences on the CAPTCHA pushers.

So I did not report it. Call it poetic justice.

Lidl are a massive chain and people need more than food to survive.

No, you didn't.
