Does anyone really believe that Walmart's margins are still so razor thin that they can't afford to operate despite increases in shoplifting? there's a deeper motive here. more likely than not it correlates with prior moves by walmart stores to close regional administrative buildings in anticipation of an economic downturn more generally. shoplifting is likely just the excuse to prevent a public panic.
They are also losing money because of the self checkouts that they demand we use. People aren't stupid and that is an avenue that can be utilized for stealing. Bring the cashiers back!
