    Honolulu, Hawaii has low crime. California has high crime rate especially in the Bay Area.

    There is a way to combat this besides hiring security guards or lock expensive merchants. We should make a national merchant identification card that we all must have to be able to enter a store by scanning into a machine. Without the card, you will not be able to enter the store. If the card is lost or stolen, the card owner person is responsible to report it so anyone uses a lost or stolen card will sound the alarm on the machine. This way, if merchants are stolen from retailer, the record on the card identifies who the perpetrator was.

    This is old news. It is called Retail Reparations and it started on the west coast. Democrat politicians encourage all "historically marginalized" communities to steal as much as possible to effect reparations through wealth transfer, i.e., theft. We are all paying for it and we have a generation of urban youth who no nothing about work ethics, only state-sponsored crime.

    When I was young, I worked at Best Products, which was a Showroom Display Warehouse store. There was one of everything on display on the store floor, and customers would fill out order slips as they shopped. I worked in the basement, where the orders came down in tubes. Then, we would pull the orders and send them up a conveyor belt, where the customer would be called to pick up their orders & pay. Bigger items were given at the loading dock. There was very little theft, because there were showroom associates working upstairs, and there was no unattended, loose merchandise to shoplift! I always wonder why no stores do this now. They could even warehouse half the store for this, and only have a showroom of merchandise.
    It was faster to shop this way than to have to have an associate unlock a cabinet for deoderant or whatever!
    In-person shopping is going to fail the way it's going, causing more job losses and less social interaction between people, leading to more isolation and depression.
    The pandemic lockdowns already sealed that deal badly enough. We can hardly be called a society anymore, sadly.

    In the 1990s many stores required IDs and club cards to be presented at the door upon entry (such as at Costco) and any non-members were refused entry. Stores have agency to set whatever entry requirements they feel suits their business and their customers. Bars and nightclubs keep riff-raff out by enforcing photo ID checks to curb drinking and frisking to prevent illegal weapons and narcotics. Luxury good stores required strict dress codes and appointments. Social clubs require memberships, photo IDs and credit checks to keep ghetto people out. Bring those exclusivity privileges back. Enough with the "democratization" of consumerism.

    I think one thing retails could do to stop all of the retail theft would be to stop commiting theft themselves against all of the customers in the form of things like bs inflation while making record profits & self checkout lines without being given a proper employee discount for doing the job of the cashier. These things may help.

    Reported rise, or actual rise?
    Walgreens was claiming that 50percent of their shrinkage was due to organized theft. The media ran with it , then it turns out the number was half a percent.

    How many times will you hacks keep pushing false narratives directly injected into the newsfeed by trade lobby groups?

    Stores are to blame if they allow people to steal without being stopped. Once crooks find that out it's not rocket science that will attract more people to steal. Why are they not hiring security?

    Wage theft is the largest form of theft in the world. Wage theft occurs when employers do not pay workers according to the law.
