Some major retailers are concerned over what is being called “organized retail crime†where shoplifters are getting away with hundreds of dollars in goods with little repercussion. NBC News’ Jacob Ward reports that the pharmacy giant Walgreens is now closing some stores in San Francisco due to the issue.ÂÂÂ

#Walgreens #Shoplifting #SanFrancisco
All I herd from this guy is excuses on how it is NOT the thief's/ perpetrator's faults.
Guess we need to see how this guy reports an armed robbery and/ or a home invasion when it happens to HIM or his family members.
His stupid choice of words and skewed way of reporting will (I bet) suddenly change.
Hi
Of course, they bring in the Marxist talking heads who says it's all due to the "poverty." No, the bulk of this thievery is being done by organized criminals and for profit. This is not "Les Miserables."
One of the most stupid laws ever! Vote better next time.
So they’re reporting this: theft hasn’t gone up, and there is no crime wave. But if there is a crime wave the reason is because people have lost their jobs and need to steal!??!
These "LAWS " are useless 😒
Lmao. Good. You get what you deserve.
I would like to purchase your stolen goods for $475
California has always been pathetic and desperate for a dollar that this doesn't surprise me anymore 😒
I hear Walgreens collaborator on the vax. So expect retribution. Duh. I encourage those who are fired for vaccine hesitancy to steal from all the collaborators. Although i haven't yet personally done so i am fixing to.
If they are addicted give them free drugs. Let them party their brains out. If they OD then that's their problem.
Turn off the sound and see the common denominator. There is the problem
America is like a roach that refuses to die
It’s a crime. The reasons are irrelevant.
Good. These defund the police cities need to learn that there are consequences for idiotic actions.
CVS isn't far behind
The law is despicable and corrodes our society but is there to protect crooks!
This just makes me wanna rob a Walgreens of $949 worth of products lol
Gavin newsom is rubbing he hands like birdman
remember when Shoplifting was considered very bad?, but 900 dollars is fine, you can do it.
San Franciso and LA have been in decay for a long time
Want to know how to fix this? Elect officials with a backbone who will enact laws that will hold criminals responsible and allow a police force that has the authority to enforce the law without being held back for fear of public reticule with no support from those offices. You folks had better get a hold on your community before it's too late.
Let's go NBC
WALGREEN 7E
Good on NBC for reporting this. Most outlets blame anything but the shoplifters for so many stores suddenly closing. Credit where it's due.
What is the point of having security if they do nothingðŸ¤â€ÂðŸ¤â€Â
People wage are frozen is a weak argument since the thieves are self employed.
In 2020, the U.S. drugstore chain Walgreens generated net earnings of about 424 million U.S. dollars, and gross profit of over 28 billion U.S. dollars.
Democratic you did good job.
You remove cops and this is what happens. It's not rocket science.
Funny they did not mention that the closings are in California
Look. Drive to the nice one, change to Mail rx. They won’t come back unless things change. It’s so hard for a pharmacy to lose money.
Walgreen rob the employees, employees rob Walgreens
How funny is it the politician around there blames the “elite and rich†for the problem of people stealing. No, just like anyone they realize they can steal $1000 worth of merchandise and can easily talk helpless people into stealing. Why not focus on the thugs and not the “richâ€ÂÂ.
PEACE WALGREENS CARED MORE ABOUT YOUR PROFITS THAN OUR SAFETY!
