I don’t blame companies for closing stores in communities where theft is rampant. If your neighborhood harbors thieves and the police won’t do anything about it, you don’t deserve to have nice things. Live there and are pissed about the situation? Move. Deny said community your upstanding citizenship and let it devolve into a shithole. Leave these poor thieves to themselves and move to a neighborhood that won’t tolerate them.
If you don’t pay your employees enough to care about your business then people are going to take advantage every time. These are all big chain stores that have had a race to the bottom for wages. They replaced many of the workers with self checkouts. Last time I was in a chain pharmacy there were only 1 or 2 employees max and they were all busy doing stuff. Even if they did notice someone stealing, is making minimum wage enough for you to risk a fight with someone?
Instead they have invested in locks for the shelves because it’s way cheaper than hiring people to run your business for you.

Hey look everyone, a really callous and uninformed opinion! Why don’t we all just move somewhere better!
