А надо всего лишь сажать воров и их пособников
kilativ — 27.09.2023 Target is closing nine stores in major cities across four states, claiming theft and organized retail crime have made the environment unsafe for staff and customers – and unsustainable for business.The big box chain is part of a wave of retailers – both large and small – that say they’re struggling to contain store crimes that have hurt their bottom lines. Many have closed stores or made changes to merchandise and layouts.
Nevertheless, skeptics say stores have not provided enough information to back up their claims, and at least one retailer said theft was an exaggerated issue.
“We cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of our team and guests, and contributing to unsustainable business performance,” Target said in a statement. “We know that our stores serve an important role in their communities, but we can only be successful if the working and shopping environment is safe for all.”
It’s not clear that crime is growing significantly more serious. But as economic fears grow amid inflation and rising borrowing costs, shoplifting often comes with the territory, industry watchers say.
The stores Target plans to close will shut their doors on October 21. The stores include the East Harlem location in New York City, two locations in Seattle, three locations in Portland, and three locations in San Francisco and Oakland.
The retailer said it had added more security and implemented other anti-theft tools before deciding to close the stores.
Affected employees will be able to transfer to other Target locations.
It is not clear whether the stores were under-performing or reaching their revenue goals. Target did not comment on this or provide data on theft at the stores. Target previously said it was expecting to lose $500 million this year due to rising theft.
Отсюда
Таргет закрывает 9 магазинов из-за постоянного воровства. По "странному" совпадению все они в местах, где живут меньшинства, которых после Флойда менты на публике боятся трогать. Если бы в укромном месте, да без свидетелей... А в магазине камеры, ментам оно не надо. За год Таргет (только одна сеть!!) теряет полмиллиарда долларов за счет организованного магазинного воровства. А потом все эти "организаторы комьюнити" орут благим воем, что у них в районах не открывают магазинов.
