They’re not stealing $3 sodas, they’re stealing entire shelves of razors and shampoo and beer, stuffing them in garbage bags, and then selling them on 14th and A next to my apartment. I see this Every. Single. Day. It’s not bodega owners getting hit, it’s mostly franchised retail. CVS, Walgreens, Target seem to be the most common. I asked an AP at Target why they don’t stop them, and he said it’s store policy that unless they’re lifting a felony amount, there’s just no business reason to stop them. They’ll be back the next day anyway. People who don’t live here (or who live in nicer parts of the city) really don’t believe it, and it’s frustrating being gaslit about something you see almost every day.
