To no avail if the policy of Walgreens is to let shoplifters steal unimpeded.
Walgrens is like NATO. Won’t stand up for itself. No cops filmed. The guy will go free. What if he was black and had fentenal in his system? Probably not get involved.
That explains why crap at Walgreens is so much more expensive than walmart
In the Soviet of Washington if any retailer’s employee “assaults” a thief doing his career work, the retailer can be held liable. The Republicans have tried the past two sessions to pass a bill stopping this, but the dim supermajority bottles the bill in committee.
This year a friend of mine who is a Representative from the 35th district wrote a bill that just allowed a clerk to ask “are you going to pay for that?” as a thief is rolling out the door with stolen goods. Of course even that was too much for the Marxists.
We are one of the few states that allow convicted felons to serve as a representative. We have one from Bremerton who actually tried to get a bill passed that reduced the penalty for drive-by shootings due to the “equity” issue. Drive-by’s are done by predominately black/brown perps and it’s not fair to make them suffer for their crimes. https://www.foxnews.com/us/washington-lawmakers-introduce-bill-to-reduce-penalties-for-drive-by-shootings-to-promote-racial-equity
If I were CEO of Walgreens or some other National retailer, I would pick one of the 3 west coast states and I would close every outlet in that state until they fixed or allowed me to fix the problem. That’s the only way this is going to stop, along with people understanding elections have consequences. I see that starting to happen here, people are starting to awake from their blissful ignorance.
