  • Dollar tree will now close 1000 stores nationwide, but nobody's talking about how even if Dollar Tree's stores remain open, they'll be unrecognizable to their customers because dollar stores / discount stores are fighting a losing battle in the war against shoplifting.

      Who’s the real thief.
      “The prices paid at the register do not match the price tags, according to a class action lawsuit working through the courts.”
      “Dominant discount retail chain Dollar General, which operates about 19,000 stores in the U.S., is being sued for an alleged “pricing scam.” In the class action lawsuit, customers allege that Dollar General frequently tags merchandise on store floors at a lower cost than what it rings up at the register.
      The case was brought on behalf of the class by Dann Law, a firm spearheaded by former Ohio attorney general Marc Dann. “These guys are stealing a little bit from millions of people every day,” Dann told the Prospect. “There’s no question that they’re aware there’s a problem. And [that] they’ve been aware for a period of time.”
      Dollar General’s practices, which essentially amount to false advertising, have financially harmed the “thousands if not tens or hundreds of thousands of consumers,” the lawsuit alleges. The suit, which was filed in New York, seeks an order declaring Dollar General in conflict with state law, as well as damages for the class.”

      The government is doing what they were elected to do. When you defund the police there's no one to enforce the law. When you elect DAs who don't prosecute crimes criminals run free. This is what you get when you vote for a Democrat. They ran on this. People specifically voted for this. And they were warned this would happen. And here's the kicker. They'll vote for it again!

I watch you all the time and love your stuff. I’m stuck here and this is where I’m gonna have to be for the next two years. And every night I go to bed, I pray that God keeps me safe. Because it’s crazy here I work on the field in three borrows in New York City and I serve the underserve. This has been my heart and my work for the past 14 years and I have never had the level of, shall we say “concern”, regarding my personal safety, as I feel currently. Nurses do not want to go to these underserved areas. There’s more going on than just finances that are being affected. There is a whole problem of finding nurses to go to the underserve and help and since there’s not enough nurses to go around, nurses can pick and choose. The secondary effects of this migrant crisis are far reaching. There’s less supplies there’s less money, there’s less nurses to help the poor and underserved communities, and who suffers? Vulnerable citizens in these underserved communities. 😞 This allowing an unlimited, amount of migrants to come into New York City is just dumb because it’s not showing kindness. It’s actually cruel to vulnerable people in these underserve communities. It’s making their life harder and making things much worse for them. I can attest to that and what will next year bring. 🥺 Patient Patience subjected to this will have it harder. Their quality of life will be impacted and they’re mortality will also be impacted. This is upsetting… The low-income, government assisted, chronically ill, are paying and will pay quite a price for this decision.

I mean think about it. Do you think that shoplifting, pushing people in front of trains in the subway, and sucker punching strangers would be a problem in NY if that state and city had the kind of laws that Texas and Missouri have? Crime votes for crime. And NY is getting exactly what it wanted.

This is a huge hit because they also have low cost groceries and fresh produce in areas that are food deserts. This affects low income, elderly.

How much do companies (& customers ) expect out of one person vs four plus??? No one wants to work the crappy retail job,customers are disrespectful, rude, expect you the minimum wage worker to dote on their every whim whether or not it's part of the job( seriously had people demand I make a phone call for them, unplug our ice freezer to charge their phone, and expect a refund on a jug of milk from a different brand then we carried, just to name a few.) Then we add useless politicians on BOTH side of the aisle, lenient sentencing, and you've a recipe for business collapse.

      But then, prices are still rising without regard for thieves. Fruits in any supermarket should be cents because of streamlined farming, not bucks.
      The other point to note is that the thief could be in cahoots with the manager (read: corruption) for the burglar to be a 'fall guy' making the store leave (read: manufacturing pretense). Walgreens stores around San-Francisco is one such example of that.

    Not anymore , I will continue to avoid high crime and filthy conditions and spend my money in Asia. The recent pro Japan rant by Jimmy Kimmel on his late night show was so cringe and lacking in self awareness. How can he not realise Japan is the opposite of the USA because their law and order policy and culture is the exact opposite of the degenerate policy he promotes and votes for in the USA.
