Walking around UES past few weeks noticed what are left of 24 hour DR stores now close at 2AM, and reopen at 6AM as of September 1st of last year (according to signs in window).
Never noticed before since Rite Aid is my go to spot, and always assumed since lights were on people were inside.
IIRC the CVS on Lexington and 84th closes around 12M or so and opens up again early AM.
Guess these places are tired of being jacked (which happens a lot during overnight hours), and or costs of remaining open just didn't make it worth it after costs and all those thefts.
There was a Rite Aid near me that was open 24 hours. I went in a few times out of curiosity. Place was dead. Cashier and a security guard. Sometimes two cashiers just chatting it up. No longer 24 hours. I believe the CVS was also 24 hours which was stopped a while ago. Close at midnight.
Are robberies actually higher between 2 and 6 AM? BecUse businesses tend to not have a lot of cash at that time
Usually not cash, but stuff that gets jacked.
Have seen people coming out of DR with one or two six packs of expensive beverage. One dude even went back for a second helping. This DR on Second at 79th has those things right in aisle as you come into store, so it's like a conveyor belt.
Girl at register couldn't be less bothered; said she called NYPD and informed her manager, but other than that she wasn't getting involved.
Now that no one is sent to jail anymore there is even less incentive to call NYPD. People caught stealing are home in several hours after arrest (if that happens at all).
