“Shoppers also will have to present their receipts to an employee before exiting the store.”

Shoplifters, on the other hand, won’t.

It’s also a potential last-ditch effort to avoid shutting down the unprofitable store on Alabama Avenue — the only major grocer east of the Anacostia River in Ward 8.

DC food desert.

If they just hung the first shoplifter of the week in front of the store and left them there for a week, it wouldn’t take long before there weren’t any shoplifters.

That is not going to help them. The thieves will just select 3 more things to steal. They may as well cut their losses and close their doors now. America is finally reaping the seeds they have sown for 50 years. I hope the harvest is bountiful. American voters are finally getting what they, via their votes, have been praying for the last 50 years. They have elected and reelected one Leftist Politician after the other. They have earned it. Let them enjoy it.

The Store Chains need to STEP IT UP.

What they need to do is simply say that they are shutting down ALL STORES in which there is a Soros Prosecutor, and until that Soros Prosecutor is REPLACED by someone willing to press charges, they will not re-open.

This crap, in the early days, saying ‘some of our locations are not performing at year-over-year sales figures that meet our goal to a World Class retail outlet’ simply DOES NOT CUT IT.

They need to PLAY HARD. If there is a Walmart in a red county here in Texas, put up a sign that tells Obama’s sons that “They will be Prosecuted”, but also provide a carrot, and tell them if they go 10 miles south, they’ll be in Soros Jurisdiction, and they can take whatever they please from the Walmart down there (assuming it is still open, of course).

Convert inner city stores to order and pay online, pickup at store upon presentation of receipt.

When the inner city street thugs complain, tell them it’s their own fault.

Rumor has that they may close all of their stores due to theft. The store chain has been around forever.

The Giant near me has permanently closed the one entrance/exit, has put some items inside clear, plastic boxes, and has a security guard at times.

There is no place in this country that blacks won’t ruin where they exist in number.

RE: “Shoppers also will have to present their receipts to an employee before exiting the store.”

They will be strip searched, given a polygraph test, fingerprinted and have an audit of the their bank accounts, credit card use and IRS records.

“And thank you for shopping with us as a loyal customer.”

Could be a great entry level employment opportunity.
Go to the secure & armored order desk and hand the clerk your grocery list. Stock boys pulls the merchandise. You give the clerk cash or credit card. Get your groceries.

Really not much different than ordering from Amazon.

As noted in another thread, the authorities have drones overhead watching backyards. The shoppers can be observed and recorded as they leave home and then arrive at the store parking lot and go inside.

Audio and visual recordings inside. Every move to pick up an item and read a label will be analyzed by AI.

The same software doing the facial recognition matches to criminal records will analyze the positive and negative emotions expressed by the shoppers (as with the Smart TV cameras at home)

This is what a collapsing nation looks like.

Headed to uninhabitability.

They should replace those items on the shelf with their unsold cans of Bud Light. It would be a good way to get rid of it.

The real problem is that D.C. is not purely a federal jurisdiction. There should be no civilians in D.C. other than federal workers and tourists.
