This should be interesting.
A few years back, the Dollar Tree in Destin was burglarized.
The one question that was on everybody’s mind:
WHO IN HELL ROBS A DOLLAR TREE?..........................
well as we know it’s no longer $1, but $1.25 per most items.
the store nearest me just added $2, 3, 5 dollar items.
I haven’t seen them lock items up yet.
The loss of basic morals is rampant and has reached every corner of the country.
We were a moral people and “shrink” was not a huge problem in the past. Now it’s forcing stores to close, cities to lose markets and pharmacies, products to be locked up all over the place. Employees who do the courageous thing to stop this out-of-control problem get fired the next morning. Police just don’t respond. If they do collar the perps, the DAs let them go.
We need a Great Awakening Revival in the USA. Without that, morals will continue to collapse and the Republic is done for.
For one...It’s Dollar and a quarter Tree. Two...who would steal from a Dollar Tree when there’s Gucci, Nordstroms and Macys?!
The once great U.S.A. is descending into a state of total chaos. Looting stores doesn’t even raise an eyebrow any more. As DJT has said, if the Dems win in 2024, we’re finished as a nation.
Is this nationwide?
It’s a $1.25 tree now, but seriously what $1.25 items do they plan to hide behind the counter?
Instead of locking up the criminals they end up locking up the merchandise.
Going back to to early 1900s grocery store model before Piggly Wiggly established the first self-service grocery store. Before then you gave a clerk a list of what you wanted and they gathered the goods.
Due to inflation, Dollar Tree should change its name to Five Dollar Tree. /s
Odd that there was no mention of specific locations, or if the theft is being experienced nationwide.
If you try and steal a $1.25 item near my Dollar Tree you have an excellent chance of getting shot by an armed citizen.
What, people can’t help themselves to whatever they please anymore?
What they gonna lock up, the purple drank?
I stayed at the Bellagio in May and laughed myself silly that all the condoms in the CVS across the street were behind glass.
At least condoms in Vegas and not wanting to be seen next to the person you’re going to use them with makes sense.
“I’ll steal that for a dollar!”
Their primary customer base these days, right?
In the not-so-distant future, walk in retail stores, under the current economic paradigm, will essentially cease to exist in certain urban areas. One will have to use a phone app to purchase items online, and then pass a secured entry point in a store to simply pick up their preassembled orders. Most, if not all, retail endeavors, including restaurants, will become pay-first transactional businesses. Is this what they mean by ‘progressive’?
I used to go to Dollar Tree two or three times a week. Now they are $1.25, $3, and $5. The price rise doesn’t keep me away, the fact that they no longer carry the things I bought a lot of aren’t there any more. and one item that was $1 is now 1.25 and 10 cents more in sales tax. I can get that in Dollar General for a flat $1 with no sales tax and the DG is nearer. I buy a lot of those B12 shots because I work at night and don’t get much sleep in the daytime.
