This is what happens when pro-crime DemoKKKrats are in charge.
Retail giant Target is blaming a surge in “organized retail crime” for a $400 million reduction in gross profits.
In a third quarter earnings call, the company cited an inventory shrinkage for a $400 million reduction in gross profit in 2022 compared to last year, Yahoo Finance reported. Target CFO Michael Fiddelke expects the disappearance of merchandise to reach $600 million by the end of the year. He specified theft as a “key driver” of profit loss in retail that has gotten “increasingly worse over the last 12 to 18 months.” Target is taking actions to curb the increase in retail theft felt by the store and its competitors, Fiddelke explained.
The company’s profits in the third quarter plunged 52% as the retailer warned of a sluggish holiday shopping season, CNN reported. Target CEO Brian Cornell believes inflation and economic difficulties played a central role in the company’s lackluster quarterly profits.
