'I have a hard time pulling the trigger on Dollar Tree or Dollar General from personal experience. When I've gone locally, the stores are pretty bad. The stores are dirty, inventory is on the ground, lines are long,'. Good morning, I live in Henderson Nevada, very close to Las Vegas. For our foreign friends, who can't imagine what's happened in our once great country, in the retail space. My neighborhood use to be upscale and very safe. However, the thief's have figured out that retail stores in the best areas, don't lock up as much merchandise. Just this week my CVS was robbed by a person in a hoody and a mask. Smiths is constantly being robbed, old employees I know confirm this. The dollar stores I visit are depressing, I walk through quickly and leave. Management , in general, has gotten lazy. A new Dollar Tree just opened near our Costco , I intend to check it out shortly. The Nike store near us was redesigned, with security in focus. I have no idea how retail stores in America can overcome these, shrinkage issues, going forward?? It's embarrassing to write this, but, it's even worse then we are being told because the bad guys are traveling to better areas. 🥲🥲 If most goods are under lock and key, how many 20$$ an hour employees do you need to keep opening the cabinets for shoppers? What does this do to the retail shopping experience? Decriminalizing stealing was a huge mistake.
