[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Paper towels. Toilet Paper.

The least expensive items per unit weight.

This is not the criminal menace you think it is. [/quote]

How many people do you think want to work where organized theft is the norm? It is already difficult to staff stores. Who wants to I sure businesses that are being robbed on the regular? And insurance companies probably raise requirements for having methods to protect merchandise and buildings and people. Who wants to shop where gangs of people are running roughshod through the store, some possibly armed or customers/staff trying to be heroes? That is all part of the equation. It isnt just the cost of the toilet paper.[/quote]

It really comes down to not making a profit due to theft. It is costly to truck merchandise in to each store. Diesel costs are high and you are paying a guy with a CDL license to truck in the merchandise.  Then gangs steal the merchandise. This model is not sustainable unless those who steal are arrested and do some time.[/quote]
