Future of Supermarkets in U.S.

San Francisco already has the new standard.

The Walgreen's by my office is doing this.

Too much theft.

San Francisco is like the highest level of Clown World.

The USA isn't enough of a failed state from diversity/multi-racialism to be like Brazil quite yet, so you still have some artifacts of it being a high-trust Western nation, while being on its way to looking like Brazil.

Big Box stores will soon pull out, and lax Soros-funded district attorneys will have no choice but to start enforcing laws on theft.

The transitional period would be a good time for people in California to steal whatever they need from stores, and sort of stock up. I mean, if these stores will close anyway, and if the law itself isn't enforcing theft laws, why not? Stealing is bad, but I feel like these stores NEED to be robbed blind and close before anything changes.

It is racist to not allow theft.

Absolutely.

That's how every urban and most suburban stores are going to look. It creeps in, in NYC first they only locked up the small high value items, then it just expanded, even good neighborhoods are looking like ghetto candy stores now.

At least they'll still need folks to open the cases :Shrug:.

Probably have to ApplePay item by item for the machine to release each one.

All of this is so the consumer can get mugged in the parking lot.  "Now get back in there and get me some chips"

Maybe for inner cities, but I’d never live in one

Was going to post this.

They will come up with a word for locking stuff up in department stores, or shutting down department stores. Like they did with grocery stores calling it a "food desert."

Locking up stuff disproportionately effects minorities.
