They want this dude, and if not, they accept it and act defensive when regular people are turned off by the current state of things (looking at you buddy...).
Best thing to do is just leave. I did that. But since I'm stuck being connected to NYC because of my kids, I decided to keep profiting off of its degenerate slide. Hey, the city has to be good for something right?
I hear you brother. Sadly I'm still tied to the city for work, but my kids and wife are safe from the city at the moment where we purchased a house. Surrounded by like minded civil servants and we all look out for each other and the neighborhood. This is a very well armed area with families still love America. Some neighbors don't even lock their doors which is a little strange, but a testament to how safe it is up here.
Our school district just kicked out a superintendent who dared to try and bring that CRT stuff up here. We, as a community showed him the door. Gives me hope.
Every time I go down to the south Bronx for work I'm reminded why I now choose to drive 50 minutes to work every day. So worth it.
We are now in a time where the chief law enforcement officials are telling you from the Get Go what crimes you CAN commit without going to Jail. CLOWN WORLD.

"Ben Dugan sat in an unmarked sedan in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood one day last September waiting for the CVS to be robbed.
He tracked a man entering the store and watched as the thief stuffed more than $1,000 of allergy medicine into a trash bag, walked out and did the same at two other nearby stores, before loading them into a waiting van, Mr. Dugan recalled.
The target was no ordinary shoplifter. He was part of a network of organized professionals, known as boosters, whom CVS had been monitoring for weeks. The company believed the group responsible for stealing almost $50 million in products over five years from dozens of stores in Northern California. The job for Mr. Dugan, CVS Health Corp.'s top investigator, was to stop them.
Retailers are spending millions a year to battle organized crime rings that steal from their stores in bulk and then peddle the goods online, often on Amazon.com Inc.'s retail platform, according to retail investigators, law-enforcement officers and court documents. It is a menace that has been supercharged by the pandemic and the rapid growth of online commerce that has accompanied it.
"We're trying to control it the best we can, but it's growing every day," said Mr. Dugan.
The Coalition of Law Enforcement and Retail, a trade association, which Mr. Dugan heads, estimates organized retail theft accounts for around $45 billion in annual losses for retailers, up from $30 billion a decade ago. At CVS, reported thefts have ballooned 30% since the pandemic began.
Mr. Dugan's team, working with law enforcement, expects to close 73 e-commerce cases this year involving $104 million of goods stolen from multiple retailers and sold on Amazon. That compares with 27 cases in 2020, involving half the total.
Home Depot Inc. says the number of its investigations into these kinds of criminal networks has grown 86% since 2016. "The digital world has become a pretty easy way to move this product," Home Depot Chairman and CEO Craig Menear told investors in 2019."
My son is 12 and the baby formula was locked up depending on where I went, so I'm talking 12 years ago
Retail theft is not a new thing
The depleted shelves are more likely to come from shipping issues
People complain about the media but they let it spin them around like a top
Now as in SF's case, that more likely has to do with their laws
But let's not sit here and pretend stealing from stores is a brand new thing

Theft has always been part of doing business, but let's not pretend that it hasn't become a much bigger problem because it has. That is why some drugstores are closing because they are losing too much money to store theft.

THEFT CASES MORE THAN DOUBLE AT CVS

CVS Health Corp. investigator Ben Dugan noted the trend was growing every day, and the pandemic and rapid growth of online commerce continues to propel it. At CVS, reported thefts have grown 30% since the pandemic began.
Dugan’s team, which is working with law enforcement, expects to close 73 e-commerce cases this year involving $104 million of goods stolen from multiple retailers and sold on Amazon. The number of cases has more than doubled from 2020.

Now drugstores can do well with some items they carry, but if you're profits are being eaten up by theft, it's hard to keep eating those losses.
It's not just drug stores that are experiencing high levels of shoplifting. I was in whole foods last week and witnessed a man, who was dressed as an amazon prime shopper (with the yellow vest) walk out with an entire cart of groceries. I observed that he wheeled the cart to the check out area and then ducked down, to remain inconspicuous as he scurried out of the store with a shopping cart full of food.
He probably worked in the past as a prime shopper. I sincerely hope he is not stealing and currently employed as a prime shopper.

Did he have the Whole Foods Amazon bags or whatever they usually use? I shop at Whole Foods at least once or twice a week and they usually are just packing groceries as they are already paid for. That certainly would be interesting. There is security at most of the ones I frequent, although the ones in New Jersey, I feel like you could just walk out if you wanted to. lol I guess they think the people in the affluent suburban areas don't steal. In Manhattan though, there's usually one minimum, sometimes more depending on how big the store is.
What most likely thing they to do is lock up meds in lock cabinets!
