But there’s not another vowel between the ‘n’ and the ‘u’, why would you pronounce it “AL-yoo-MINI-um”!?
It’s similar to people who pronounce nuclear “nuke-yoo-lar”, those extra letters just aren’t in the word!

I hear what you’re saying, but we’re not talking about a single-mother sneaking diapers out because she needs them or a Jean Valjean-type taking bread because they’re hungry…
This is OCR (Organized Retail Theft) where a team of 3+ people coordinate with phones, distractions, and a driver, to quickly get as many high-dollar, shelf-stable items out of a store as possible to resell on Facebook marketplace/eBay/etc. It’s typically at least $1000 per store.
