The new Chicago mayor though will provide bussing to area stores to alleviate the worry of his voters of having the inconvenience to 'shop' further away from their ghetto.
kind of hard to carry shit like flat screens on the bus. but this happens all the time. back in philly there used to be a couple of really good stores. they closed due to shoplifting. they open one up again. had 2 guards at each door- didn't help they close the other doors and had just one way in and out. still didn't help much they had a problem with people selling their food stamps for cash inside the store- more guards. didn't help. after 2.5 years of this stupid shit. they closed the doors for good. a guy who work there told me they where losing close to 5 grand a month. the boss told them when it hits 6, they going to close. I guess it did. they closed up back in 2018. btw, any place they build a super Walmart, there is a large EBT card base close by found that out by a guy who used to work for them setting up new stores back in 2015 or so, Walmart was bringing in over 5 billion in food stamp sales. both target and Walmart look for these people to sell to. so they just asking for it to me. dave in pa.
As far as the part of your comment about Walmart Supercenters and a large EBT base, that's not always true. We've got a Walmart Supercenter here in my town of 6000 souls, and I've yet to see anybody use an EBT card here. Damned near everybody in this town works.
I think you may be right about that, as I seen stores in the middle of farm country where there nothing around. but most of the ones I have seen in cities. yeah, a lot of people using EBT cards. I had to stop going as it pissed me off to no end. I paid with cash and watch every damn dime. some clown drags 2 carts full of instant meal crap and they pay with the EBT card. (philly) out here in the country, I don't see as many as I did back there. I like the local store brand stuff/food Weis. their canned chicken is the best I had. some of their other stuff is either hit or miss. but the food is always good. it also sounds like you are in a rare spot in this country. you lucked or did your homework before moving there. dave in pa.
We lucked out. We had planned on settling close by or in Portland TN where my in-laws live, but they were getting a lot of people moving up from the Nashville area, so the available houses were either complete garbage or way out of our price range. We started ranging further away from Portland until we found our house outside of Lafayette, about 35 miles to the east of Portland.
An entire mall in Jackson, Mississippi closed because of shoplifting. Half of it is now a campus of Jackson State University, where Deion Sanders is head football coach. He got robbed during a game. The other half is a "medical mall". I worked on the renovation and while setting some equipment on the roof we found several dozen spent bullets and watched a running gun battle between two cars on the street beside the mall in which several people were killed.
Shrinkage is included in the calculations for profit margins....
ReplyDeleteFuck Joe Biden!
So now the margins are negative.
Delete"Shrinkage". What a quaint way to describe losses caused by feral thieves.
DeleteYou obviously hate corporations, have never run a business or both.
"Shrinkage" is what retailers call thievery. It's not all shoplifting, anyplace with more than 3 employees probably has a thief working for them.
DeleteWell, they're not going to come right out to say its because of constant hordes of ne'er do wells youts, are they?
ReplyDeleteHard to profit when the permanent victim demographic steals everything from your stores.

Deletewasnt walmart a contributor to blm? i guess the protection money wasnt enough.
ReplyDeleteThe local Bonga Bonga natives are going batshit about the closing. It's not fair. Where will they go to steal 72 inch flatscreens.
ReplyDeletewtf? all dis shit is free aint it?
ReplyDeleteFerals.....
ReplyDeleteCome on man, can't you see this as the "Golden Age" of shoplifting? Coming to a store near you.
ReplyDeleteI see 'deer stands' and 'duck blinds' on every corner. Hunting over bait, say a pair of Nikes, is permissable.
DeleteEd: I'm just not having any luck.
Fred: Well, there's your problem. You're using a pair of work boots.

ReplyDeleteNot material to your comment, but Sanders recently left and took the job at University of Colorado.
DeleteIn deepest, darkest Chitcongo, Walmart boycotts YOU.
ReplyDeleteNow wheres we gonna shoplift?
ReplyDeleteCan't make any money with stores in those "high-density Amish areas"!
