I posted before on this forum about retail stores protecting themselves from shop lifting by locking up high theft items to protect them from theft, and then the stores being accused of racism. (
Racism and high theft items in retail stores) You might be able to manipulate the stores temporarily with accusations of racism, but eventually it will stop working. Now Walmart is closing four stores in Chicao due to high levels of theft, and the new Chicago mayor is accusing Walmart corporation of looting its customers instead of addressing the real problem. Go ahead Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson and mislabel running a business as a form of looting and see where that gets you. You can't ripoff retail stores and expect them to just sit and take it.
