Anarchy really gets a bad rap, at times. I mean whats the harm in helping the less fortunate? I bet the store was really steamed over it though.

It's a good idea.

Charities either pay for their handouts from monetary contributions to their cause, or get the items from willing donors for the purpose of the charity to give to others. What they done is called theft, and they all, 100%, should be jailed and have to pay back at least 100% of what they have stolen. You have made this question rather unclear. If they 'stormed' the supermarkets to pass out groceries they already own, and not steal from the store, then they should all be arrested for tresspassing, attempted sabotage, and theft of business. If they are to give out free items to consumers, they should do it on their own property, and not someone elses property in attempt to ruin someone elses business.

And do they think this is going to make prices go down? Prices charged the next day will go up to cover the cost of goods given away. Or the supermarket will close down and no one will have food at any price. if ever there was a case of killing the messenger, this is it. It does no good in its own right, and distracts attention from the real problems, which are a long way upstream. The real problem is complacency in agriculture. After the surge in agricultural production in the 60s and 70s people assumed that food was basically a solved problem, and stopped investing in agricultural research. But the world population has been rising, and also been getting richer and wanting better food, while stupid politicians have firstly been paying farmers to produce the wrong food, and then paying them not to produce food at all. Demand has now caught up with supply. It is not far out of balance, so it can and will be corrected soon, as high prices prompt increased investment. But it takes two or three years to get new land into production, and five to ten to develop new varieties, so we have a few years of rough riding. If consumption = 99% of production, we have gluts; 101% of consumption, we have shortages and rising prices. So it won't take much to get back on an even keel (though the causes of increased demand are still operating, so it is a tail chase).

When I visited Greece, I didn't see any massive "grocery stores"...instead, there are little markets run by families. This is their income. Now how are these people going to pay their bills and care for THEIR children. How will they afford to restock and serve the community's food needs further? Why would they even want to? Anarchists are idiots.

Variable, big chain supermarket or small one? If big then thats fantastic, if small then not so much.
