this makes me sad.

I’m in Walmart for work this morning, the store is in a low income part of town.

all for the beauty supply’s, all of the over the counter medication, all of the baby food & even the landry detergent are under lock & key here.

I can’t imagine being an upstanding but low income citizen and being treated as if I were a criminal in my own community.

Stores lost $121.6 billion to retail theft in 2023; projections indicate shoplifting could cost retailers over $150 billion in 2026.

Locking things up is the least they can do

I discussed this with the store manager. He told me his store has over live 250 live video cameras.

This is a societal problem.

It is the decay and respect of one’s community. Theft is undeserved & false entitlement. This has become an anthropological issue.
