Heck, I work at a Home Depot that is very close to a "diversified" neighborhood and the local PD is there almost daily to pick up shoplifters the LP guys caught.
Its kind of entertaining! |

Surprise! Poor people shop at Walmart, and Walmart likes to put their stores near their customers. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
***"The researchers concluded: 'Our analyses revealed that counties with Walmart had, on average, higher violent and property crime rates compared to similarly situated counties without the retailer’s presence"*** Surprise! Poor people shop at Walmart, and Walmart likes to put their stores near their customers. No. No, no, no. Where do large retail chains locate stores? Near population centers. Cities. Where do large retail chains NOT locate stores? In sparsely populated rural areas, where there are no people. You even need "sparsely" as a disclaimer because they do put stores in smaller towns that would identify as rural. Who has higher crime rates, urban or rural? Surprise surfuckingprise.

2000 - 2010: low crime rate population group fleeing, high crime rate population group moving in. Predictably, predictable consequences followed. (pun intended) It's time for Wal-Mart to move out too. Memo to Wal-Mart: you do not have unlimited resources, use your resources where they will yield the highest return and lowest risk. Get it? |

They need to wait until the next granola eat-buy local anti-Walmart protest and say "Ok, we're out." Don't see as many of those as we did a few years ago.

They're looking at statistics by county, which essentially guarantees that any place in the "No Walmart" column has more deer than people per square mile and the residents haven't locked their doors since ever.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I'm questioning this claim. Article says 235 reports of theft in 2 years. Thats really not too crazy. Hell, we were averaging 8-10 pinches (apprehensions) a week at a Sears store on the north side of Chicago. Christmas was CRAZY. Best day for pinches was the day after Christmas, when people would try to return items they took off the shelves. Caught a cop doing that, one time. Also caught a guy impersonating a particular cop. He should have chosen a different one, as the guy he chose to impersonate was my partner's boss.
I would say that I alone had over 200 pinches in 3 years. |

When it starts being a real issue for them, they'll suddenly have "plumbing problems." Until that time it's just part of the cost of doing business. |

Had a big outlet mall open a mile or so from a rather large 'hood. There were woods and rough terrain that acted as buffer, so patrons who weren't familiar with the area really didn't know.. But in short order there was so much pillaging, that a route in the woods between the mall and the hood was referred to as the 'Ho Chi Minn Trail' On robbery, car burglary, shoplifting calls, etc, if the trail was checked, there'd be discarded clothing, shoes, along with packaging, retail tags, Nike boxes, etc that spread the mile route.
What exasperbated the problem was their corporate policy on shoplifting... 'Just do nothing' and combined that with a security contractor that recruited octogenarians! |
