Drugstores Blame Shoplifting for Locked Up Shelves
Drugstores are locking up just about every item for sale, including everyday staples like toothpaste and moisturizer. Even basic painkillers are under lock and key at many big chain locations. Consumer frustration is growing over the hassle of shopping for basics these days. Scenes of shoplifting from drugstores across the country have raised eyebrows as thieves' brazenness has increased throughout the pandemic, as many people are growing more desperate.

They should be locked down because people get tired of seeing the theft. It's ugly. 😕 People use to rob my old job blind. They would enter the store, pick up big items and run out of the store with the merchandise as we look on, helpless and unable to follow due to company policies and procedures.
This is frustrating in a disappointing way. Good people always have to face the consequences. As a customer, you can’t just pick stuff based off smell, you’d have to have an employee next to you to open the next case of shampoo or air fresheners or whatever, and the employees have their stuff to do but now they have to come open cases whenever someone wants…toothpaste. Why is it so hard for people value themselves as humans by working and getting their own stuff, and being a positive contribution to society. Why can’t parents try raise honest and hardworking people. 🤦🏻♀️

They don’t get arrested anymore, that’s why the problem has gotten so bad.
When I think of stealing or shoplifting, I imagine a scenario where a thief will be nervous and will try to act normal just to not get caught... But not like these!!!!!!! 1:53 , 1:59 it's like a Wednesday for them!!!!
I don't think this'll be too effective. Just call up the employee, get the stuff you need, then stuff it in your bag or pockets when they inevitably leave after 10 seconds.

Also they're paid $8.50 at most, and usually treated like garbage, they don't care anyways. I sure as hell didn't when I worked at a gas station.

@@ARSZLB lol do you even know what the minimum wage is in a state like FL? And to answer your question, no of course I don't know the minimum wage in NY. Why would I, I don't like there. The minimum wage in the U.S is $7.25, and most store clerks get paid a few cents over that. if you live in NY where minimum wage is higher, then great, you're lucky in that regard, but then again NY is also more expensive so it kinda cancels out. And that's besides the point, when I worked at a convenience store getting paid $8.50 an hour I sure as hell didn't care about anything. If people came and asked for free soda I wouldn't care because why would I.
As an employee I can say that they almost NEVER see or press the button, they always walk right past the employee on the floor and come to me on register… unless they’re a toddler, then they’ll just press it 12 times for fun.

The future will be not even setting foot in a drug store. There’ll be a kiosk outside to order and pay, or order online and then pick up. Which will make fewer jobs.
This should be a an embarrassment to the city of San Francisco. Just 45 miles South where I live there's always going to be some sort of crime at these stores but it's not to the level in which these stores have to lock up almost all products and close up shops in the city. Can't blame places like Walgreens.

The problem is that in some states like California is soft on crime, I talked to an employee that works in Walmart in Long Beach and he said *"Shoplifters steal because as long as they're able to steal anything under $900, they will not be arrested."* Therefore, the locked shelves and the receipts check before exiting is a deterrent against the shoplifters.

They should get at least one security guy with a gun in each store. If their presence won't scare them off ,after some shoplifters will be shot , then they will be scared For a more nonviolent method, I would also suggest building separate entrances and exits. Build them with one-way gates,doors.the full height ones so they won't be able to jump over or crawl under them . At the exit, gate put a code scanner that will open them when it will scan codes from receipts. If the person that exits didn't buy anything they will be able to leave without any suspicion or search if they don't have big bags with them. Even if they don't have any bags but still stole only one item it wouldn't be that bad . At the exit put a security guard ,if you want a separate person checking people leaving and opening gates for people who didn't buy anytihng. It can just be a normal security,without a gun

Right now and years to come, Everything like detergents, cleaning products, food as well as health and beauty products will be under lock and key. You can try shopping online instead of going to the store. It not only saves you gas. But you don't have to see the shelves of the store being under lock and key.
I used to work at a Walgreens a few years back and I can tell you that almost everyday someone was stealing
If the place you're living locks up the toothpaste, you're living in the wrong place.
What's really sad is the people losing their jobs because of them closing stores. If they have to lock everything thing up, so be it. At least people can keep their income.
Is this really that surprising? Maybe we should hold people accountable for the bad things they do instead on punishing good people and letting the bad act however they want.

I worked at a dollar general a few years back, you will be amaze by how much things get stole thru the whole day! Ones 2 guys came and grabbed the biggest Gain and Tide detergent(like 3 or 4 each guy) and ran out. Same with the display with the phone accessories, snatched from the shelf and took off. No lic. plates or temporary plates. It has gotten so bad that they have people watching the camera all day, if they see something suspicious they speak thru the speakers to let them know I'm watching you. And they leave scared. Is ugly on retail this days .
I don’t have a problem with this!! Use to be a supervisor.. and omg! I can recall so many people walking in and out with bags of items. Especially so many middle school and high school kids coming in after school stealing alcohol.. since we were literally located across the street from a junior high school But lowkey if I was still working there. I can probably see the frustration of both the workers and customers. But let’s be considerate, if that was your business, you probably would want to do anything to protect your business from going down
