In other news, wholesale theft from Big Box stores has caused some big stores to just leave.
That was a lie some big corporations were promoting to cover up the fact that they were simply closing less profitable stores and creating food deserts. When Target announced that stores were closing because of theft, people quickly discovered that the stores they closed were among those with the least theft in the chain.
Unfortunately, it captured people’s imaginations and is now a go-to excuse. While there are some tiny hotspots, retail theft has been dropping for many years across the country.
