A CVS pharmacy in Washington DC has been forced to replace almost all its stock with photographs in an attempt to combat rampant shoplifting.

Framed images of items such as toilet paper and kitchen towels stand in place of the real thing, according to pictures shared to X, while customers have to press a button to request staff fetch the products from storage.

'This is how we live in America now?' questioned conservative commentator Joey Mannarino, who shared the images. 'This is the third world!'

The pharmacy's dystopian move comes just weeks after a CVS store in DC was ransacked by up to fifty teenage looters, who routinely attack the store and pillage its shelves.

Amid the shoplifting crisis, CVS has joined rival drugstore chains Rite Aid and Walgreens in closing over 1,500 stores combined in the coming months.

Where can I loot now?

[HYPOCRACY]

I’ve been to much of the third world. This is first world crap. In the third world they kill looters and shoplifters.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Time to defund the looters. Maybe take a few more of them out.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Those people are why we can't have nice things.

Those people are toxic to normal society.

We need signs 🪧 saying, you loot, we shoot.

[No name given]

My thoughts exactly.

[tennmountainman]

DC is a cesspool.

[Jamestown1630]

Our both close-by drugstores in my area have closed. The folks there told us plainly that it was due to shoplifting. We just order those things online now.

It was built on a swamp, after all.

It’s a looting desert, I tell ya’……

Welcome to the utopia the democrats have created.

This is, unfortunately, the wave of the future in our urban areas. Step up to a kiosk. Place your order. Pay for it. Then a staff member will retrieve your goods.

I say “unfortunately” there because even in the worst urban areas, most people are good. They might vote stupidly, but they are good. They should be able to browse a store, and shop normally. A criminal minority prevents that.

“Progressive” district attorneys also prevent it. Catch and release.

How much is a photo of Barbasol shave cream?

[GaltAdonis]

Mom always said that if we kept misbehaving, there would eventually come a day
when we would no longer be allowed to have nice things.
Mom was right - and that day is now almost upon us.

Back to the 19th century (only add bullet-proof glass):

I’m in California,, and more and more items are locked behind plexiglass now in the stores. I tell my friends and relatives in other states about this, and they can hardly believe it, but I’m sure it will happen there, too. And just try to find an employee to unlock the items! It’s infuriating.

[Political Junkie Too]

There is a moral problem with our youth.

Urban teens are ransacking stores without remorse, and college teens are parading in the streets in support of America's enemies.

This can't end well.

I don't really care, seriously....the so called "adults" and "parents" allowed their little feral offspring to do this and not one was turned in....when the ferals come home with pockets filled with stuff, they never question....

so let them sit down to a beautiful lunch of the consequences.

Seems to be a problem in blue cities in blue states. We’ll, they’re not going to learn.

“replace almost all its stock with photographs in an attempt to combat rampant shoplifting.”

Sounds almost like a website but you have to drive there to see the pics. LOL
