Costco Executive Meeting...

CEO: We’re getting killed in California with shoplifting! We’ve got no choice but to close stores.

CFO: We’ll take a beating on the drop in revenue - such as it is with California - and on our ROA.

CEO: Any ideas from the group?

COO: If you can’t beat them, join them. Convert stores to low income housing. We eliminate the shoplifting and we get guaranteed revenue from the state, to include reimbursements for any damages done by the lowlifes.

I'm not sure how badly Costco is hurt by shoplifting compared to Target and Walmart. Costco is a member only venue, and now they're cracking down on non-members trying to get in - Not that members won't steal, but probably fewer than the run of the mill Walmart clientele
