Target now joins Walmart and many other retailers in detailing the struggles they face with the breakdown in American Society. The result: Shoplifting on a massive scale. Of course, they make it sound more innocuous by calling it – “shrinkage,” or “shortage” – you wouldn’t want to offend the thieves, after all.
Target is now using “locked cases” for more goods, especially in Democrat strongholds (they wouldn’t say that though!). Somehow, I don’t think locked cases will solve the problem in those areas.
One of the strategies Target has utilized amid its efforts to curb more shoplifting are locked-up cases.
The company has resorted to keeping all items in the personal care aisle at a location on San Francisco’s Folsom Street in locked shelves, footage of which recently received significant engagement on social media. WNCT-TV reported that has been the case for some things there since at least October.
Another Target outside of Manhattan in Riverdale, New York, has also made it so rows in its personal care section are locked up and require a staffer to open. . . . CEO Brian Cornell described “shortage” as an industry-wide “financial headwind” on the company’s third-quarter earnings call in November. Retailers often use that term or “shrink” for theft and other types of inventory losses. . . .
