Question: Why is changing a sales tag shoplifting?

Answer: It is considered shoplifting because the person switching tags is paying less than the true purchase price for the product and depriving the store of the rightful amount of the product. Arizona Law is defined in A.R.S. 13-1805 (a) (3).

People don't stop using drugs because they run out of money. People stop doing drugs when they have the will pwer to quit or end up in jail and jial doesnt always stop people. When junkies get a craving and they are broke, they commit crimes to get what they need to score that next fix. And if food was free people wouldnt suddenly become fat. You have to work at over eating. When your body says its full you stop eating. Eating disorders are a different story. Usually people that are overweight are simply because they use food as a freind or a way to supress feelings. I'm sur eyou are fairly yo

Changing the price on a tag IS shoplifting, because you are not paying for the entire product. If you change the tag to half of the original price, you only pay for half of the item. Stores charge more than they pay to make a living. This is called "profit".
