Perhaps if they invested in security as opposed to ‘diversity’ they’d avoid this.
Problem is the police take 2 hours to show up. Most states have a limited amount of time to ‘legally detain’ a shoplifter. After that the perp can sue. Seriously. That’s how the laws are written.
So the stores just let people walk out. There’s also the risk a worker could be punched or shot trying to stop a shoplifter or injure the perp and the store be sued over that.
Then in the rare instances there are charges brought by police doing their jobs, the Soros DAs dismiss the cases because of system racism etc.
The stores then leave ‘high crime areas’ and area, again, accused of racism.
There was a mini-mart type place in one town that was being ransacked by ‘youths’ as they left school every day. Solution? Just shut the store for two hours until the mob of chirren’ passed by. Local activists protested this horrible act of racism and the store simply closed down. Which of course is blamed on more racism.
Retail stores are going the way of the dinosaurs. Too much overhead, rent, insurance, theft. Easier to let Amazon sell everything.
