Yeah. Fucking weird. . I was at a Rite Aid near my old job, which was near-hood. Dude came in grabbed an umbrella and ran out. No one blinked an eye except one guy who tried to run after them. Everyone was black. Except the cashier was Bengali and I am white
I don't care about one person stealing one thing. This is organized crime. And no one cares. And then stores close down and then it's because of white supremacy. It's funny I guess, for employees, when it's not awful for anyone wanting to do business in "deserts".
And a whole bunch of stores have shut down because of theft. Making it worse is that due to the theft, they put shit under lock, so then people do not want to shop.
Several years ago I remember reading an article about how racist Walgreens was for putting certain merchandise in locked cases because some of it was hair product that was almost exclusively used by black women. I could not and cannot wrap my head around that logic. Loss prevention departments do not randomly choose items to lock down. They do it based on what gets stolen the most. How about chastising the people who are shoplifting and making life harder for everyone else?
I 100% agree with this- it’s exactly how I feel. The fucking inversion! I guess I’m conservative now.
