Ricofoley Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 The fact that it's Walgreens is significant because their CFO admitted a few months ago that in the last two years they've basically ginned up a panic about shoplifting serving no real purpose Walgreens executive says 'maybe we cried too much last year' about theft WWW.CNBC.COM Walgreens acknowledged it may have overblown concerns about thefts in their stores after shrinkage stabilized over the past year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outsida Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 There’s a reason Walmart has cameras with displays on the baby formula isle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitgod Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I don't know what's worse, going into a drug store that's got fully stocked shelves that are locked up and you have to wait for the 1 employee to come help you, or unlocked shelves that have hardly anything on them. Drug stores suck these days. Though, that's true of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finaljedi Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I simply don't shop at stores that lock up the small stuff. I stop in Walgreens to grab one thing quickly, if I have to find help to get the face soap off the shelf then I just take the extra time and go to Kroger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I somehow don’t think Walgreens permits their employees to carry firearms. And it’s just not worth it to confront shoplifters. At least not when you’re making a meager wage working for a wealthy company. I was kinda reminded of a situation at work a few months back where a tech got fired. She brought a loaded pistol to work in her bag, ON THE FUCKING PSYCH UNIT, a patient went through the bag, found the gun and hid it in a trash can. Patient was found later going through the trash and tried saying he was looking for his water bottle he dropped and the gun was found. what the fuck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most large companies just assume a certain percentage of their inventory is stolen at any given moment. They don't bother making insurance claims with it, it's just an operating cost that they factor in. When I worked for Abercrombie/Hollister, I remember it being something like 12%. The vast majority of it was stolen by employees. The cost involved in actually doing anything about it would cost more than just letting it happen. (that should also tell you how little the actual cost of their products are that they can just have like 12-15% of inventory stolen and they just go *shrug*, it's fine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 So CVS won’t fulfill birth control prescriptions and Walgreens tries to abort unborn child and mother. Some interesting dividing lines between brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
