    Well insurance only pays out on the value the retailer bought their inventory for, not the sticker price. Yeah they’re getting a lot of money but rebuilding inventory and a new warehouse is probably more money. And Insurance companies might start considering underpaid employees as an insurance liability.

      That’d truly be righteous but I suspect they’ll start expecting more surveillance, security, and fire systems instead.

      Assuming it wasn’t a company owned warehouse, the landlord will probably be making an argument that their disgruntled employee makes the fire their fault.
