If she had it her way, the whole country would be like that.

Pelosi has nothing to do with the felony theft threshold in California.

Do you blame Ted Cruz because Texas has a felony theft threshold of $2500?

Thieves just take what they want. The security guard is forbidden by store policy from doing anything to stop them.

The Walgreens at Van Ness and Eddy closed because it was losing more than $1,000 a day to shoplifters

Walgreens is a massive, successful company.

Behaviors of massive, successful companies include:

1) minimizing losses
2) attracting the best, most competent talent to lead the company

The democrat mind is a curious place....

Corporate chain retail is dying by many causes. The chains that can't be bothered to adapt to local circumstances pull out. Independent store ownership will eventually return and revive.

Independent retail cannot afford inflated minimum wages, let alone excessive theft of merchandise by democrat criminals. It will continue to die out much faster than anything ran by a mega corporation.

What universe do you live in??

Ah yes, pay your CEO less, watch them quit, then hope your business doesn’t crumble to the ground like a Democratic city.

I’m pretty sure the owners of Walgreens already thought about that strategy.

It’s shocking that liberals are finally realizing that businesses rather cut jobs than CEO pay.

Perhaps the horse and buggy will also make a comeback?

Don't think the thieves care who owns the place if they're still getting their free stuff.

Mostly mom and pop stores, no employees. I can't predict exactly how owners will prevent theft, but they could start by having small stores where they can see all merchandise. As fossil fuels deplete, big cities will depopulate back to farm country for work. Stealing may be more dangerous in small towns where everyone is armed and well informed about neighbors.

And yet Democrats continue to vote for Democrats where they move. Cannot fix stupid.
