"If you've ever wondered why the left likes to identify certain areas of the country as "food deserts" this is the reason. Retail outlets are not in business to get stolen blind."

Wal-Mart recently discontinued locking only the Black hair care products in their cosmetics section.

My younger brother worked for Home Depot years ago. He told me that he was called into 'the office' and informed that he was catching to many people stealing. They told him that they already knew how much was being stolen and that the cost of those losses were already included in the prices of the products on the shelves.

They told him, let them have it.

This was to be expected, after the riots in which democrats allowed the rioters to steal, destroy, rape and kill.

I haven’t checked it in a while. Need to go back.

I’m sure you read the comments. Ever notice how many blacks are outraged he would record and post online how they behave......3rd world country is right.

And what is it with blacks and trash all over the place? Sidewalks, streets, their own yards. Have some respect for your neighborhood for gosh sakes.....sheesh

“Walgreens has over 10,000 (ten thousand) stores. All of them except the ones in SF work fine.”

Er, no, they’re seeing increasing problems elsewhere. See below.

“Why should Walgreens jump though hoops so they can do business in one location in one city?”

Because the “No charges for shoplifting below $950 in merchandise” and “Even if we do arrest them we will let them go” laws are appearing in other jurisdictions. The shop-looting is starting there too. It’s not limited to SF any more.

And yes, I watch (and subscribe) to Nerdrotic’s YouTube channel.

The locker system and a video system can take care of the pharmacy stuff.

“those losses were already included in the prices of the products on the shelves”

“let them have it”

I wish I could say that’s unbelievable, but sadly I’m not surprised.

What you described there is reparations by any other name.

I agree.

That happened to my brother in the suburbs of Dallas, Texas, 25-30 years ago...not SF today.

I didn’t say anything about a “legal” solution.

Theft is a major problem in retail, and not just in CA. You'd be surprised at what walks out of stores in broad daylight.

The same thing with Sears: They had the catalogue thing going on for 100 years, but rather than expanding and exploiting their advantage, they stepped back from that model, tried to go upscale, and died. All they needed to do was develop a simple website, and they would be bigger than Amazon and Wally World combined/

I remember Service Merchandise. The store in Jacksonville, Fla sent out catalogs. Grocery stores gave out coupons for Service Merchandise. My parents would save up the coupons and go redeem them for items we needed at Service Merchandise. Other grocery stores did the same thing with Green Stamps...

“If I were homeless, San Fran. would be my choice of locales. You can steal with virtual impunity and suffer no great consequences. Gotta love it! /s”

You can also poop on the streets!

Private guards won’t work when they are unable to enforce penalties on shoplifters sufficient to deter shoplifting.

There is no solution as long as Leftists run the city and state.

You can even poop in the grocery store while you pick up a few food items.

“......cutting the kids loose.” I’ll bet in this case more than half are adults, career victims with a sense of entitlement.
