    Even if someone did steal a mars-bar… Banning them from all food-selling establishments seems… Disproportional.

    Like if you steal out of necessity, and get caught once, you then just starve?

    Obviously not all grocers/chains/restaurants are that networked yet, but are we gonna get to a point where hungry people are turned away at every business that provides food, once they are on “the list”?

      No no, that would be absurd. You’ll also be turned away if you are not on the list if you’re unlucky.
