Walgreens tells San Francisco authorities shoplifting in the city so bad, the chain has been forced to close 17 stores because thefts have made business untenable. Retailers say California’s weak on crime approach has emboldened criminals while hurting businesss.
With the massive defunding of police, and the associated fleeing of police officers, this (not just Walgreens) is happening, and will continue to happen significantly across the nation.
Ironically, the unfortunate inner city Africans that are stuck in their residences with no where else to go will lose convenient access to groceries, prescription medications, restaurants/fast food, dentists, and other necessary, vital, products and services.
