The one in Brandon was in a nice, middle class town, so I would be surprised if it was theft. Of course, it only takes "one bad apple", so maybe it is???
I’d think it would take more than one bad apple, no matter how well placed.
As someone else said, it’s very possible that the entire store was corrupt from top to bottom.
It doesn’t seem to matter the neighborhood either.
There’s a WM in our area that is one street away from 1/2 million dollar homes, and it is very “ghetto”.
The “greeters” looked like the “panther poll watchers”, the shelves were all in disarray. We were surprised.
