not sure if it would be better, the current favorite strategy of the neoliberal market is the japanese 5S, of which one of its ways to cut costs is to have mininal storage via only selling as close to the demand of a product. aka they dont over buy stock anymore.

for example is why black friday isnt done with big discounts anymore (the big 90% off) because stores no longer buy so much stock to the point they cant buy anymore

so if you dont buy them they stay in store selfs forcing them to either stop re-stocking them since they dont turn a profit anymore or buy less of them and that ends up hurting the producers in the BDS lists because if they sell less then the shareholders will in return stop buying shares so the company loses value, and thats the only thing they care about.

Not to mention that if you steal x units of a product, the store loses money, but the company making it was paid for it already in most cases. And then the store will reorder x amount of that product, so to the company making the product nothing changes, stealing and purchasing is pretty much the same thing.

On top of that product is sometimes insured against theft/loss and iirc it's a tax write off too.
