People that are shoplifting because they are poor and can't afford something are going to end up getting arrested while people that are stealing just because they are jerks can pay the penalty.

skullbone 07/31/18 11:20:45 AM #35:	I was an overnight manager at a Walgreens in Chicago so I saw a lot of theft. Most commonly stolen items from our store: Liquor -Pretty obvious for the reasons on that one Prilosec/Heartburn Medicine -Easy to grab an entire shelf and sweep it into your backpack. They sell these to mom and pop stores for a few dollars and the store sells them for a few dollars cheaper than retail in major stores. Eventually we had to start putting every box in individual locked containers Baby Formula/Pedialyte -Same reasons as the Prilosec but also sometimes out of necessity. Laundry Detergent was not stolen very often because we had caps on each bottle and it's hard to steal giant jugs of that stuff. Our cheap headphones/phone chargers were also stolen sometimes but not often. We had them locked on the shelf but it was super easy to just rip the cardboard open or pull it off. Other items were stolen occasionally but if we had a shady person in the store we would monitor the top 3 above. --- skull <cite>skullbone posted [p:906023557] in Do you thi...
