Why must we call each other B!gots and racists when the other side disagrees with us? Asking for a friend….

ok trump avatar person …yes let’s keep politics out of it👍No, he meant that the GOP debate is on now, as in, it started when he made that post.
Heres a link to the reddit post about it.
The real reason target is loosing sales:
Guest: Do you have silverware?
Target: Yes, would you like them in neon pink, foliage mint, or lavender lilac?
Guest: You don't have any in.. silver?
Target: No...
Guest: Nevermind, I also need a charging cord though.
Target: deep teal, electric orange, or blush rose?
Guest: ... white?
Target: No...
Guest: ... a pair of sunglasses?
Target: PISS YELLOW, PUKE GREEN, OR POO BROWN?
Does Walmart do it? If not, then that's most likely is your answer for better or worse. Besides they seem to be trying to cut overhead and that would mean spending $$$ they don't have, per se, right now. Lastly, that may be in the planning stages right now who knows.I don't understand why the big wigs don't use small formats to facilitate urban OPU ops. Why not allow for OPU for items not carried by the store? Amazon has Amazon Hubs + pickup now, why can't Target?

cvs had net profit of over four billion dollars last year. they can afford better (read: more) security and better partnership with local police
but they don’t because that would cost money and drive down share pricesthat’s what corporate greed looks like
CVS thinks that Pharmacists and/or Technicians can be picked off the street.cvs had net profit of over four billion dollars last year. they can afford better (read: more) security and better partnership with local police
but they don’t because that would cost money and drive down share pricesthat’s what corporate greed looks like
Yeah, any time you stop a shoplifter it can get dicey. The security person could get hurt or injure the shoplifter, even bystanders can get hurt.Well, no, I'm being sarcastic. Forgot to use the sarcasm font.
CVS there is not corporate greed because that's shoplifting at the largest extreme.
Sure, and then they have to face lawsuits over every person who gets injured by the security guards.
Well you know how a lot of liberals are, Gotta pull the race card and assume everything by a label. Too bad they won’t actually wake up and see what a joke these organizations are that they support and see the problem of how people are being raised.Wow dawg didn’t say any of that….
so then maybe the police (an organization and class of individual i truly loathe) should actually do their jobs so that people can be suing the state instead of cvs or whateverSure, and then they have to face lawsuits over every person who gets injured by the security guards.
Main complaint and abandonment by guests is..dogs. in the store, in carts, fighting with other dogs, and no sco and long long lines to buy a birthday card. Teens don't come in anymore cause no sco. Theft must be way down. But leadership not worth a crap will still run the store into the ground.As someone who lives near where some of these are closing, I can absolutely attest that crime is probably a good reason why they're closing in that area. It's ridiculously rampant where I live, and it has gotten to the point where literally nobody feels safe anymore, especially with how bad the homeless drug addict population has gotten here. Anyone doubting the crime doesn't understand that it's not just theft itself that is driving sales away. People are much less likely to shop in areas where they do not feel safe. So not only are you losing profit from theft, but overall sales are going down due to general crime rates rising in an area. This is an ongoing issue at my current job, it's not just a Target issue sadly. And yes, moving a few blocks away does make a difference in some areas.
As someone who spends about half of my daily shift monitoring SCO, the shoplifting I have personally seen is very rarely food items. Nearly every shoplifter I've observed has a SNAP card (food stamps) and pays for their food items with SNAP. I've often seen them start a separate purchase for the non-food items, then walk away from the SCO register without even trying to pay.Most shoplifters fall into 3 categories according to the training we got at the big box bookstore.
1. There are crimes of opportunity, mostly teens and folks who want makeup or manga who grab something because they see a chance. They aren't going to fight you and but might try to run.
2. There are the pros. People who make a living at it and see getting busted as a part of doing business. They won't fight you either.
3. The people who are doing it to feed a habit. This is where things can get complicated. Most druggies just want to get their fix and not don't want trouble but occasionally you get one that's a serious problem.
I'd say that now there is a fourth kind. Hungry people.
The rise in shoplifting for basic food is a bit shocking.
Corporate Greed looks like Brian Cornell.cvs had net profit of over four billion dollars last year. they can afford better (read: more) security and better partnership with local police

...Figuring out what to do about it all was above Jonathan’s pay grade. He’s got some ideas, like increasing staffing and, really, locking up the liquor, which would mean more work for employees but would also have increased safety. But these solutions would all cost money the company was apparently not willing to dole out.
...There’s no strong consensus about what would really work, investment-wise. And loss prevention doesn’t bring in revenue, it’s just an expense. “Corporate offices want to see profit. Marketing brings profits, the buyers bring in profits. Loss prevention, in and of itself, does not bring any profits. We just try to deter loss,” says one loss prevention agent who works at a corporate office for a national retailer. “Loss prevention, typically, is the most underfunded department of any company.”
...Asked whether he thought there was anything that would have stopped him, he says maybe customer service — where retail employees approach and sort of ask what’s up, if someone needs help, even acknowledge what’s going on — might have been a deterrent.
She tries not to take anything from mom-and-pop stores, only big chain retailers. The Ross in her area regularly throws out a lot of its inventory in dumpsters behind the store to replace it with new. “We could wait until stuff goes in the dumpster, but why?”
