The doc would give you a prescription and you'd go down to Walgreens to fill it, one pint at a time.
Which worked because you would pay for the "prescription", not steal it while doing $10,000 worth of other damage to the store and beating up the clerk.
Oh they had drug store robberies. The robbers stole the hooch though, more than anything.
Trump will fix it.

Woke Squad member Ayanna Pressley claims Walgreens is RACIST for closing stores in crime-ridden areas because it is a 'disruptive, life-threatening act of racial and economic discrimination' | Daily Mail Online
Quote:

Democratic Rep. Ayanna Pressley has condemned Walgreens for 'racial and economic discrimination' after closing a pharmacy in Boston.

Pressley, a member of the ultra-progressive 'Squad', said the chain was 'abandoning' low-income communities with the most recent closing in Roxbury on Wednesday.

Walgreens announced the closure of several stores nation wide due to what the company has described as 'rampant theft' in some areas.

Pressley said this decision targets areas with significant minority populations, calling for the company to reconsider their decision instead.

Quote:

'When a Walgreens leaves a neighborhood, they disrupt the entire community and they take with them baby formula, diapers, asthma inhalers, life-saving medications, and, of course, jobs.


'These closures are not arbitrary and they are not innocent. They are life-threatening acts of racial and economic discrimination. That is why I joined with Senators Markey and Warren to demand answers from Walgreens' CEO.

'Why was there no community input? No adequate notice to customers? And no transition resources to prevent gaps in health care? Shame on you, Walgreens.

Quote:

Walgreens is a multi-billion-dollar corporation that needs to put their money where their mouth is and stop divesting from Black and brown communities.'

How about you stop the community from looting businesses, that would be a great start. Just when you thought progs couldn't get any dumber.

No sh$t! Call it what you want...I call it a great business decision. Tell the squad to open their own business in those areas and see how long they keep it going. Put up or shut up....don't just dance for the cameras with these stupid sound bytes.

So in one day you have left wing judges in the courts trying to dictate an executive's compensation and in the legislature trying to intimidate and publicly berate an executive for closing a store that is losing money in a high crime area.

Never forget - Modern Democrats are Marxist/Communists at heart that hate capitalism. Their ultimate goal is to dictate and control everything.

So, stores prefer to locate in areas where customers actually pay for things instead of stealing them. Who'd have thunk it?

Haha. Wrong. When a Walgreens leaves a neighborhood it's because the entire COMMUNITY already took all those things!

Stupid take lady. (Guessing here)

The mentality of Leftist on full display

Ignore the reason the store is closing because it's an indictment of the crime the Left openly refuses to stop and instead demands the store be turned into a welfare station paid for by all their other customers who don't break the law

Business : the practice of making one's living by engaging in commerce.

Commerce : the activity of buying and selling goods, especially on a large scale.

No goods... No commerce... No business.

Nothing to do with race.

Among the stupid things we do on Forum 16 is attack people's appearance, not their ideas.

There is some merit to it, when people's actions and choices lead to their appearance. For instance, the clothes stealing loon from the Biden administration. Or someone who weighs 500 pounds because they eat like pigs (apologies to the pigs) dye their hair purple, and pierce everywhere on their body.


In Pressley's case, she has a disease which makes her hair fall out in clumps. Rather than try to grow hair, or wear a wig, she has decided to shave her head. She doesn't have good choices, and shaving it is not a bad choice.

Hey, it worked for Telly Savals and Yul Brenner.


Her statement, and her pinning blame on the store, when the blame belongs with the culture of the community, is asinine. I'll join you all in pointing out her stupidity, all day, every day.


But I'm not going to pile on and make fun of something physical that isn't her fault.

Let me put it like this, I know the area (Roxbury). You don't go there after 4pm or you're getting jacked. It's like Compton and Watts. Chelsea isn't that great either but it's no Roxbury. You don't want to FAFO in Roxbury even if you're packing.

If she is worried that Walgreens is "abandoning" those communities, then cue ball should tell them to stop breaking the effing law. Marxist trash…

Mindless. She condones crime. Doesn't know that businesses must make money to stay in business? Ridiculous! And it's ridiculous that she is a member of Congress and has a vote on legislation that affects you and me.

If they don't like it then it equals racist.
