TARGET Closing stores

[CarlinAnnArbor]

Everybody pays when a culture loses their morals

 

[Lord-Humungus]

There won't be anything left in San Francisco pretty soon.

They will still have the piles of human shit on the sidewalks, so the city still has that going for it

 

[Mac-7]

wow! that is bad news for the ferals!

where are they going to steal next? not fair....not fair!

scum

They can go to the suburbs

 

[task0778]

I'm surprised more stores haven't closed in those cities and the other democrat-run big cities too. It's ridiculous.

 

[22lcidw]

They can go to the suburbs

The only reason this continues is due to all the excess resources the United States has. It is reducing. And more than that we have extended ghettos into economic producing areas around them for political reasons.

Why should retailers continue to subject themselves to egregious theft and no support from the cities they serve? What are the community organizers going to do about it?

the lowes inc ceo talked yesterday at goldman sachs about this problem, which he does not seem to have. a key solution is to have sufficient "associates" in the aisles, well paid and motivated to stop theft and whose jobs are too good to risk for the short term gain of employee theft.

And then certain folks whine about "shopping deserts."

Why, oh why, don't those folks teach their children to act right?!!!

I am not sure about the "stop theft" part. I was checking out the other day at the local Lowes where someone had went out with a cart full of tools without paying for them through the garden department. Two people were talking about it. The cashier said she would get fired if she even put her hand on their cart to try to stop them. Lowe's stalks you down and prosecutes you if you steal from them. They have an aggressive surveillance system and will pull your footage from the time you came onto their property to the time you left it and give it to the police to find you. The volume of customers and employees do help. You are seldom on an aisle alone at Lowes as opposed to home depot.

I think Chicago is showing us one part of why this is happening…..the communist mayor of Chicago is now talking about government owned food stores ……… the best way to make that happen is to drive out the private chains.

Chicago mayor considers creating city-owned grocery store after Walmart, Whole Foods close stores in the city

The city of Chicago is considering the feasibility of a municipally owned grocery store as a means of promoting equitable access to food following several notable store closures.

As you young people say, "Laughing my [posterior] off."

If there were government-run stores, the theft rate would be 100%.

Then His Honor would be begging those private chains to return!!!

Something tells me that gangs of shoplifters at a democrat party controlled food store will not get a slap on the wrist……socialists take their money and power very seriously.

It stands to reason that closing retail stores in the city will only drive the thieves elsewhere to continue their crimes

The only way to restore order is to throw out the soft-on-crime democrats that have created this problem

How many Lowes stores are in Urban areas where looting and flash mobs are an issue? Most Lowes are in suburban and rural areas Also, what are people more likely to steal…. Clothing and jewelry or a hand saw?

Give them a government run food store and see how happy the residents are?

You are dealing with a mindset that feels entitled to loot and flash mob a retailer and then has the audacity to call the retailer “racist” for not wanting to be in the city.

 

[Burgermeister]

Why would this store stay open?

The funniest part is they are often pulling out of poor minority areas and the left attack the businesses for wanting out of these areas due to rampant out of control theft and violence. The left believe businesses should provide service to low income areas, no matter how many losses they suffer and no matter how unsafe they are.

Some have even said that it is not that big a deal because “that’s what insurance is for”. Do these people have any idea that insurance premiums will go up in addition to good customers staying away to avoid violence? The “racist” retort from them is weak and pathetic.
