“shoplifters won’t be charged unless they steal something like $1,000”

I think they have that same problem out in San Fran. The shoplifters will actually add up on their calculators the amount, walk out of the store, pass it on and then go back into a store to continue shoplifting. The storeowners are drowning in debt and cannot get any relief in sight.
I thought it was only in CA.
Amazing. I knew it was bad, but I had no idea they were that methodical about their shoplifting.
The only thing the merchants can do is lock everything up. It’s so depressing to go into a local store and see everything displayed with electronic buzzers attached or locked to the shelves. Not to mention that the costs of security and “shrinkage” are killing stores.
