In my opinion the robot is there to get people used to being under surveillance by robots. Notice how they try to make it look cute and friendly? It’s just creepy and I have the urge to kick it when it comes near me.

The shoplifters (common thieves) walk around free. The merchandise is locked up in the stores behind acres of plexiglass. This is the woke solution to theft. Go shopping and when you find the item you want, then you have to go find a store employee to unlock the display case. What a bummer.

I am encountering more and more of the store shoppers with their huge carts plying the aisles filling the customer’s orders. Their carts are at least twice as large as my shopping cart. Makes my shopping experience much more difficult and much longer.

Agreed- I don’t think it’s cute or friendly.

The thieving at retail stores is rampant these days

Some believe it is “their right” to do so

This is the evil poison placed in their minds by others

I think what happens is Black rock gets on the board after buying so many shares and changes these corporations into world economic forum puppets.

The homies will use sledge hammers and/or simply threaten a worker or two until the cases are opened.

I live about 5 miles from th Philadelphia County line. There are several Giants in .y area. Most of the employees bus in from the ‘hood. I no longer shop there because of caliber of employee. Plus the stores are dirty and littered with debris. The meat department is the worst I’ve ever encountered. No security guards yet but police paroles are visible.

Giant should increase prices in high theft stores by whatever percent it takes to offset the cost of the stolen merchandise.

Alternately, they will just close leaving the poor neighborhood with no store.

Not really. The stores in the suburbs have the support of law abiding customers and local law enforcement. The social order in urban areas is breaking down.

As they close stores in black areas we’ll hear never-ending sob stories of how blacks are living in “food deserts”.

Next step for the Leftists: MANDATE that security measures in stores in ‘their neighborhoods’ be no stronger than security measures in stores where whites live.

In other words, if their people are going to suffer, so should whites.

If I were Giant Food I would have armed security at the doorways. Entrances and exits. And I would advertise this. Jack up prices a bit to cover security expenses.

Shopper who are honest and want a safe shopping experience, will flock to Giant Foods.

Something I have noticed over the past several months is that people who go through the self checkout lines will ring up their purchases, but then not pay for it, and walk out with their items. Anyone else seen this? I’ve seen it Kroger, Walmart and Dollar General stores.

"It’s laughable for any of our politicians — and I’ve offered to meet and talk with any of them — to be ignorant to what’s going on in their communities, in their jurisdictions, with their constituents," Kress said in the report. "And for politicians to blame businesses … for leaving is embarrassing."

I’m interested to know in which specific areas Giant is doing this. It’s not any of the stores I frequent. I could make an educated guess where the theft and violence is occurring, and those locales are rightly going to become “food deserts.”
