No, they'll sell it cheaper than the store
That doesn't make it not theft
True, but if it ain't a mom and pop sized shop then it ain't my business. Go on down the road to the store that came in underpriced in order to drive out ma and pa so they could raise prices once those stores are out of business.
idk for you but in my area the "ma and pa" stores are all like 2x the price of the big names because they all have a weird gimmick like "all we sell is gluten free"
I've seen a lot of those and tend not to go there. Good luck to them, but I hate the gimmicks.
I visit the farmer's market pretty often where it's families selling things they grew or made. I like the tomatoes there and I get to buy better meat that isn't factory farmed. There's a regular independent grocery store where my parents live. The prices are a little higher but the produce tends to be better (mostly fresh and local) and there's actually a butcher in the meat department. Those kinds of places are dying.
