This kind of stuff is so funny to me, because it's ignorant of every other store nearby.
You know what I did in Seattle a few months ago? I walked into a Target and they had everything locked up behind cabinets. The entire place looked like it was ransacked, with most of the shelves empty.
I went next door to the Safeway and the HMart. Literally not even a block away, and nothing was locked up, the shelves were stocked and everything was fine. That Target wasn't even in a high crime neighborhood; it was just mismanaged to shit.
- lolinder 2y agoI've definitely seen this with Targets, but I have a lot more confidence in Walmart's ability to tolerate a decent amount of shrinkage in order to avoid customer inconvenience. When I see a Walmart acting this way I get worried.
- fzeroracer 2y agoI've been to Walmarts in the ass-end of nowhere that have stuff locked up. The shrinkage problem is in part because of the self-checkout hole these stores have dug themselves into and the fact that staffing continues to dwindle.
- fingerlocks 2y agoWhere in Seattle does an H Mart, Target, and Safeway co-exist within a block of each other?
- fzeroracer 2y agoThe Target is now closed (for 'retail crime' reasons) , but this was in the UDistrict. It's only slightly embellished, since the Safeway is approximately one block north of the Target's prior location (4535 University Way NE) and then the HMart about one and a half blocks down.
