Shoplifting makes some stores counterproductive to Wags bottom line.

Wags must have poor salaries snd benefits. The ones in my area can’t keep the pharmacy staffed. It’s a crapshoot if the pharmacy will be open when you need a prescription. One large store closed the pharmacy completely and just has the retail merchandise. This wasn’t an issue when the stores were Rite Aids.

yes, but that is typically confined to inner-city stores. this is more across the board and their sales/profits are off for other reasons beyond the shoplifting issue. Many retailers have already been closing stores in areas where retail theft is a problem, ie, Walmart and Target.
