I think its worth noting that inconvenience aside, the high rate of theft and stock loss is correlated to item price increases overall -- even above inflation.

Watched a man walk out of Safeway with two 12-packs under his arms makes me understand why eggs are $8 a dozen.
- Maxamillion96 2y agoEven if shoppifting tripled it would be minuscule in the overall scheme of things. Groceries pay 2 dollars per dozen eggs to farmers and have to toss out them out every few days, wastage-wise it’s basically a blip
- kmerroll 2y agoAh, so considering the miniscule loss in the overall scheme of things, Walgreens locking up products in the stores is just to be annoying?
- Maxamillion96 2y agomore that execs are looking for an excuse to tell their board of directors why sales are falling that doesnt include online ordering. the movement to E-Commerce is a double hit to stores because not only do they directly lose sales but when something is ordered from their stores (on e.g -doordash) they have to put people on packaging those goods- which they see no income from and makes the brick-and-mortar store less staffed.
