    Say what you will about Walmart because I think they’re slime as well however this was a smart business decision considering the political climate and soft on crime policies in the area

    shoplifting makes the community pay ultimately

    If the rampant crime and non business friendly politics took down Walmart, what is it doing to the small businesses in Portland?

    I understand why people are irritated at Tinman's constant barrage against the woke but this has nothing to do income inequality. This is organized crime. It's people who make a living shoplifting.

    Well they are all criminals but they take advantage of the weak laws and law enforcement of that city

    So where will people go now? Walgreens? CVS?
    Lol

    Is there a way to post a picture from my phone? My friend just posted a picture from a Houston area Target. They have no cashiers. Everything is self checkout and there are about 20 people just in one line waiting to checkout. No wonder people are shoplifting.

    They didn’t leave because of shoplifting, they left because of poor sales.

    In other news, why is it that you can be at a small store with two open self checkouts and 10 people waiting in line for the cashier?

    I've never understood this. I'm not going to save someone's job by waiting in line for 10 minutes to cash out instead of doing it myself in 30 seconds...


    It legit blows my mind. Happens a lot at convenience stores.

    But it's much smarter and less embarrassing to say its the politicians fault, not their inability to manage shoplifting - something the police have never really bothered with anyway.

    I had a friend that runs a story in St Louis, and he sells to mainly poor blacks - he always complains about how much they shoplift and how little the police do - and this was 20 years ago! They had to put in cameras and hire a security guard - and that's less money for him to put in his kids trust fund! How terrible!

    But now all of a sudden its "soft policies from liberals" - I'm sure he is saying that he never had an issue until the liberal policies took effect recently!

    People in Houston actually have jobs and they pay for their merchandise at the self checkout

    what woke person doesn’t understand is the other cities
    He needs to go get out of Houston on a tour of other cities he assumes has law abiding citizens

    these fools need to get out of Conroe or Tomball

    These cities are pro drugs and criminals
    It’s like you can shoplift all you want with zero repressions

    it’s woke policy
    I’ve been posting about it for years
    Now the consequences are real
    @ROXRAN
    yeah there’s shoplifting in Texas but compared to these other cities , it’s like g league shoplifting
