I am sorry Chitcago but a Walgreens in your neighborhood is a privilege and not a right. And you have abused that privilege. Now you will have to travel like country folk looking for a Walmart.

Jesus done left Chicago…

This proves Walgreens is racist, right libs?

The black community continues to demand soft on crime policies and then is outraged when businesses close and leave. Perhaps they should come together and fund/create a government run pharmacy.

BREAKING: Walgreens reveals the Chicago South Side store they are shuttering after 20 years, lost $1 million mainly due to theft last year, which is 4x the company average, while they spent $400k a year on security and employees still got assaulted.

So the AVERAGE Walgreens loses $250k/yr to theft?
(I've stopped myself from posting this question multiple times because I'm so afraid I'm reading this wrong)

Was in Walgreens yesterday in Santa Fe, NM. Weirdly run. They had all of the cosmetics and laundry detergent locked up. I've never seen that before. I guess there has been a run on cosmetics here by gangs of lipstick Lesbians?

And they seem to be either short staffed or running it that way on purpose. You basically ring a button to get service in certain parts of the store because they aren't staffed. Had an entire add-on liquor/wine/beer part of the building that was not staffed. You hit a button at the counter and then waited for service. Same thing for POS, the photo section, and any aisle that was locked up. Only fully staffed section was the Pharmacy which was booming in business. Never seen a line that long at Walgreens.

Edit: I didn't read half this thread before I posted but my example seems to confirm what others have said about returning to a Service Merchandise type model.

---

Cosmetics are easily resold online, and laundry detergent is used as currency in the drug trade, so easy to understand why they're both locked up.

---

Makes sense but never seen that in Texas.

---

I've seen it for at least the past 6 years in Texas. You must visit the other side of the tracks very often.

---

I've seen OTC drugs locked up for years. I've never seen cosmetics and laundry detergent locked up and I've been in some crap Walgreens in worse areas than this one.

---

I don't know what to tell you then. All I can say is that in my personal experience I've seen it in multiple locations and for quite some time.

Huh. I guess you are hanging out in real ****holes. Maybe you should be concerned about the decisions you are making on where you hang out?

LOL at the politicians that get angry at the corporations and never once mention the culture of that demographic which is the driving factor in why the stores are being shuttered.

No this means your the racist for assuming color, and assuming that the criminals are predominantly black.
What next? You'll assume these thieves and criminals are Democrats?

---

I'm thinking that he just assumed that the theft was committed by locals, as opposed to suburbanites that would have to travel much further than their local store.

---

Roving bands of bad Amish. You can see them speeding away in their buggies.

I knew it.

Future weave and hair salon coming soon

Maybe a food mart with weed section

Urban centers will become consumer product deserts. Then, we will start seeing democrat politicians talk about these racist companies and the "privilege" of white people in suburban areas who have no issue driving 1 minute to buy their toiletries.

For car stuff, I rarely park outside in high crime areas. However, if I do, I leave my doors unlocked. I just hope they try opening the door first, saving me the money to replace my windows. Locking your car door is fairly useless. If someone wants to steal your car or something in your car, the locked door literally does nothing.

Yes. Permissive, affluent society has trickled down and created a "didn't do nothing" culture. Rich have always bought themselves out of consequences, and created petulant spoiled children who became lazy entitled adults and parents with liberal ideas.
The poor, who usually told their kids to work hard and fly right, now have adopted the entitled attitude because it is their civil right to get away with crime because the other folks get away with it. And politicians won't help with this attitude, fearful of being unelected!
And as time goes on, the crimes get worse.

When my first wife and I moved to Dallas many moons ago we had a Jeep Wrangler we had to park on the curb. Learned the hard way that you should just leave the doors off because they will just cut through them.

I drove a Jeep CJ7 in Laredo back in 80's. Learned real quick that those $30 radios worked just fine. They took several of them from me.

Hilarious attempt at shifting blame.

Yep - those hordes of entitled rich kids looting the shelves of Walgreens paved the way!
