        Things must be getting bad bc instead of a greeter checking recipes, not my walmart has loss prevention guys dressed like vested mall cops.

          Supposedly they are having record thefts, which is part of the reason they’ve increased prices.

          But from what I can find, there hasn’t been an increase in theft reports to the police, and I would think their insurance requires a police report if they want to file claims on this apparent rash of thefts.

          I think it’s all bullshit, and it’s going to come out in a few years that all the major big box stores colluded to raise their pricing as an attempt to squeeze more profit out of a dying economy that is also shifting away from them.

          Same here at Meijer. Cops have been called numerous times in the past few months over psychos threatening to kill employees unfortunately, so for us it’s not really a change due to theft.
