It Begins… Even Dollar Stores Close Over Theft
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 кві 2024
- Dollar tree will now close 1000 stores nationwide, but nobody's talking about how even if Dollar Tree's stores remain open, they'll be unrecognizable to their customers because dollar stores / discount stores are fighting a losing battle in the war against shoplifting.

"Lock up our products rather than our criminals" Should New York's motto
Let’s go Mayor Adams best mayor ever he should be the next President of the United States 🇺🇸
Is that the brand the Mayor was talking about?
The New York , National anthem.. Believe me tho , I'm in the UK ..and our criminals our treated with much more respect then law abiding individuals like myself ...The whole world is just turning on each other. ..all because of our own governments
"Vote for our own demise"
Same issues here in Atlanta. A Family Dollar store on Ralph D Abernathy closed at the end of March 2024. Reasons? Rampant shoplifting, having to pay their employees more, and the ever present threat of riots.
As a Black man, I've always felt that culture is the problem, not racism.
Exactly. Lack of morals, glorification of criminals in the media ( think sopranos ). Basic religion taught right and wrong, not talking about the crazy evangelicals. This chaos, all eventually leads to the solution they want, a totalitarian police state.
💯. But no one talks about it.. bc the culture that’s being promoted makes money 💴
Very true, I find this behavior embarrassing.
It is a culture problem. A lot of us grew up poor and and we behaved normally. They're demonizing the poor to hide the real issue.
A raccoon at it finest bih how we catching strays from our own kind.
As a truck driver I can absolutely verify the brand issue. I have been to many food plants that were making food labeled for high end brands as well as more generic cheaper brands. The product and can was the same the only difference was the label being affixed to the can.
Same thing with most everything. From food to glasses to tech and clothes.
I was taught this at school many years ago in uk.
It used to be common where I live for the label to include the place it was made.
So just reading the labels of two products next to one another would tell you they were made in the same place.
“When a government does not effectively combat crime, it is not because it does not have the capacity to do so, but because the accomplices of the criminals are those in government.”
Or.. it's because a few years ago terrorists used riots to scare politicians to remove the ability to fight crime instead of reforming it.
The sickening part is that the local governments see this rampant shoplifting epidemic and still do nothing about it.
They thrive on chaos.
They would charge any store owner defending their property. This isn't incompetence, it's malice
They're allowing it to go on
Create the problem, provide the solution, it's how they roll
It is an election year 😒
It's on purpose, they need everyone and anyone who can vote to vote for them.
I was in a Dollar Tree the other day when two homeless guy and lady came in grabbed a laundry basket and four backpacks full of stuff probably close to 700 to a 1000$. I and one of the employee tried to stop the guy from taking it all when A lady in the line was saying "Their not doing anything wrong, they just need eat." I told her what happens when the store cant afford to stay open and this store will close if theft stays this high. Well not three days later, that store is now closed permanently.
and what did that excuse lady reply to you when you told her the store wd close if this continues. I DOUBT you will see her in church any time soon...
You should have encouraged that dimwit woman to open her purse and give the shoplifter her wallet if she was so concerned about them eating.
You should have asked the woman to pay for the goods they were stealing.
@@Lauren-vd4qe She didn't have one, just a confused look. She tried to change the subject. "Saying that people could get hurt if people try and stop them." She knew that it was going to happen but would rather keep her head in the sand.
Wow that lady is a dumba$$. Poor people think businesses can just absorb the loss but it doesn't work like that. When businesses shut down, middle class and poor people lose their jobs.
“We’d rather lock up our products than our criminals.” That is the simple truth of this entire problem.
"People who steal used to hide the fact that they were shoplifting."
We all know that it's not "people" who are commiting these thefts.
"People" can be civilised.
When unacceptable behavior goes unpunished it becomes acceptable. New York and California are perfect examples of this.
yup, who woulda thunk that this would be the result ?? crazy
It really makes me envy a time where US society cared more about doing what was right. Not stealing from your neighbor. Because essentially that's what happens when you shoplift.
The whole country
I'm from VA and it is also rampant here... It's happening everywhere and who are these thieves? you know who they are!
Who are they?
Stealing from a dollar store of all places is actually some sad shit. That's a whole new level of low
Man, it’s so fascinating that your channel went from NYC real estate to NYC news.
I live in Canada where the Liquor stores are controlled by the Province and where their staff has been told 'to stand down and let the thieves take what they wish'. As to items getting smaller, same rule is noticeably being applied to even brand names distributed by regular suppliers. i.e.: Large grocery chains etc.
I was at a Walgreens when this regular thief walked in. The manager knew him and just told him to get out. They did not call the cops because he is a regular thief...How crazy is that.
If they have hard evidence of frequent theft they can be banned from the store. Then cops can arrest after that for them just showing up.
Now when caught with a whole lot and if the cops get there in time, they can again arrest or get a ticket
My thief is speced into shadow with 3 points in espionage for advanced lockpicking.

And they're always glad you caaame

Q
Not for long
Can't steal from a permanently closed store with zero merchandise inside.
Q❤
@@hrhtreeoflife4815 No, they can't. And where exactly do you think they'll go next? Will they just stop?
Stop with the self Righteous nonsense that only ppl without a job steals!! People with JOBS steal too! Ever heard of embezzlement? A Clapto is always a clepto
Out here in the country we have had an explosion of new stores opening. Why? Because we may not have a high population but we have disposable income and we don't rob them. They can actually turn a profit here. so excited to never have to go into a city again...
This feels like the sort of plot I'd use to gentrify areas I had realestate investments in.
What a surprise, New York is turning into a 3rd World country 😂
The US is a certified Banana Republic by now, lock up political opponents, rule of 'men' not laws.
Lol😅
Is already since the invasion of illegals
Woke 3rd country
Entire USSA is a Banana Republic today.
Those thieves will be the first ones yelling that the government does nothing for their communities. Shame on all of them!
Who’s the real thief.
“The prices paid at the register do not match the price tags, according to a class action lawsuit working through the courts.”
“Dominant discount retail chain Dollar General, which operates about 19,000 stores in the U.S., is being sued for an alleged “pricing scam.” In the class action lawsuit, customers allege that Dollar General frequently tags merchandise on store floors at a lower cost than what it rings up at the register.
The case was brought on behalf of the class by Dann Law, a firm spearheaded by former Ohio attorney general Marc Dann. “These guys are stealing a little bit from millions of people every day,” Dann told the Prospect. “There’s no question that they’re aware there’s a problem. And [that] they’ve been aware for a period of time.”
Dollar General’s practices, which essentially amount to false advertising, have financially harmed the “thousands if not tens or hundreds of thousands of consumers,” the lawsuit alleges. The suit, which was filed in New York, seeks an order declaring Dollar General in conflict with state law, as well as damages for the class.”
None of this matters. You don’t get decide to steal because the prices are too high.
Let’s be for real, the dollar store is cheap asl. It’s not one reason to steal from them.
@@only1muppetNo one looks at receipts or tallies their shopping list?
Those are suing attorneys’ statements, and no one is a bigger thief than attorneys…. 😂
@@only1muppet Not a reason to commit theft..So if we follow your logic.. houses prices to high so its ok to anyone came to stole your house? Lazy mf
@@only1muppetno one forces you to shop at dollar tree. If you can opt out then it literally isn't theft 🤦♂️
Next thing you know they're just not even gonna let people inside and just have dispensers out side you can use to pick what you want.
My little podunk Dollar General just shut down the two new self checkouts because of shoplifting scan scam. The self checkouts enabled the small staff to have more time to put stock up.
A rat scooting across the floor? Disgusting! Where is Public Health?
That was a mouse 😂
lolllllllllll um if there isn’t a lot of foot traffic at store in NYC… there’s a chance you may see that
laid off. paid vacations.
That happens even in the Targets. The mouse problem is worse than the rat problem
Your first concern is a mouse and asking where the local government racket is? New to this?
I did 7 years as a cop in NYC and recently resigned. We had a woman we arrested 6 times in a 5 day period. The basis of a successful society is that if you work hard for something people cant just take it away. In NYC though they can take everything you work for, the politicians have let the people they are supposed to serve down.
Imagine doing the same stupid thing over and over and expecting different results... for 7 YEARS!! Some people...
But that's what the people of NY voted for.
Successful societies don't steal from their stores, though.
Your fellow citizens voted for it.
Police are the best people in society. The pressure is enormous and to be an office of the law and compassionate is a balancing act. ❤
I enjoy all yoyr videos thank you for taking the time to document these changing times
You did it lol I love it man! I’ve been telling ppl how dollar “discount” stores rent rly a discount at all! They actually get more $ per oz!
The thieves took “the prices are a steal” too literally.
In the UK we call it the "5 Finger discount"
These thugs steal everything. Only thing they don't hold onto tightly are their children.
Let’s go Mayor Adams best mayor ever he should be the next President of the United States 🇺🇸
don't even joke. i relied on this and 99 cent only to survive. HOW DO WE FIX THIS?!
yatzheee!
Thomas Sowell said it well in an interview. Our first line of defense against crime is not the police, it's our morals.
The rich don’t need to steal but they still do
That defensive line has fully collapsed. We need to accept that reality and accept the next step, expanding our prison capacity.
and by morals he meant his AR15, carved "morals" into the stock lmao
Thomas Sowell is controlled opposition
Our parents. Ie two parents. Ie having a damn father in the home.
Can't say I didn't see that coming. I frequent this particular location and have been seeing a lot of people getting busted for shoplifting lately. It was hella inconvenient this evening when I went in to do my shopping(I usually order ahead and either have my things delivered or do a curbside pick up) and had to wait for a cashier this time. An employee there made it clear that the only two self checkout lanes still left were for Spark drivers and Walmart Plus members. Gonna have to switch up my shopping routine now!
It's not a company's job to help people, it's their business to make money while providing a service. It's up to the actual human being to use their freaking brain to figure out size and price etc. If you need a quick something without running into a big store with long lines that is a service. It's called freedom. It's America. No person has ignorance as an excuse and they are totally free to shop when and where they choose.
Well said “NewYork would rather lock up shelves than criminals”.
WOW...Now that is a rather profound statement...and so true!
China profits a lot from these thefts too. Bye bye Mom and pop shops. I'm gonna miss y'all.
They ain't stealing "for their family" they're going to sell it over Facebook or wherever.
That's one big lie they keep saying. They're just trying to feed their family. You see people trying to hock their stolen goods.
Sometimes they'll set their little stalls up right in front of the store they stole from!
@@HollyMoore-wo2mh why all of those n. just dont get a job at last?
@@loafofbread9777 A lot of Gucci bags in Dollar Trees, are there?
Yeah, selling the stolen items online "For their family".
I saw this coming just like I saw that 🐭 run across the aisle at the beginning of the video. :06 😂
Never live in a place like NYC
Can't wait to hear New York announce that shoplifting went down and expect to be praised for it even though it's just because there are no more shops around
literally
Exactly!!!! That is EXACTLY what is going to happen!
All 99 cents stores are closing down in California as well. That means thousands of jobs will be gone, and jobs will go to robots in states that increased minimum wage to $20 at fast food restaurants. These politicians are ruining our states. Can't wait to hear what they have to say come voting time.
Yep thats how they trick you with stats
And then they will either leave NY to rob other places or people and houses
Who would have thought that not arresting shop lifters would turn out bad?? Wow
If they would just make everything free, we wouldn't have this problem.
🤣🤣
If if people are caught shoplifting why don't they find them get them words hurt if they don't have the money go after their parents you're ruining beautiful New York
@@judypurcell6571
Beautiful NY? lol
@@seeharvesterAW MANS DAT A GOOD IDEAR
The shots are really amazing, my man 🎉
buying online, Costco, Walmart, Amazon, and target sometimes offer more saving for money and time.
For the online shopping, specifically Amazon, it provides me the ability to order whatever I need, not leave my home, and of course no needing to carry anything in my hand/backpack as I don't have a car.
So sad because...
1) They're already selling things at discount prices.
2) Leaves the community without affordable stores.
This is what these crimes do. They make their own neighborhoods inhabitable.
They think they're getting over on these businesses but their community winds up suffering in the end.
Then they wonder why stores don't want to come into their neighborhood.
Government bailout time from taxpayer money.
Then the communities should enforce morals to shut down crime
And then the people in those "communities" start whining about "racist food deserts"
@@incurableromantic4006 you're caught in a loop.....
Imported Chinese crap that nobody needs
Majority of people today committing this type of theft are not missing a meal or having trouble clothing themselves. These are people who were never willing to do a hard day’s work.
I'm sure all that stolen loot gets heavy towards the end of the day
And that’s why they will always vote Democrat, because that’s the Party that facilitates them to continue to go through life without ever putting in an “honest days work”.
@@jeepdan7776Not true. Just “another lie.”
Not even a bad day's work...they're allergic to work.
dont blame them... they are just getting THEIR money back...they pay tax and they dont like how their tax money are being spend (war in ukraine) and they are taking what is theirs🙂
0:04 the mouse trying to get his before the store closes. 😂😂😂
I didn’t know any of this was going on I’m busy working two jobs so I can pay my rent…. anyway, I want to say thank you for your posts and you’re very informative UA-cam channel. I watch you all the time and love your stuff. I’m stuck here and this is where I’m gonna have to be for the next two years. And every night I go to bed, I pray that God keeps me safe. Because it’s crazy here I work on the field in three borrows in New York City and I serve the underserve. This has been my heart and my work for the past 14 years and I have never had the level of, shall we say “concern”, regarding my personal safety, as I feel currently. Nurses do not want to go to these underserved areas. There’s more going on than just finances that are being affected. There is a whole problem of finding nurses to go to the underserve and help and since there’s not enough nurses to go around, nurses can pick and choose. The secondary effects of this migrant crisis are far reaching. There’s less supplies there’s less money, there’s less nurses to help the poor and underserved communities, and who suffers? Vulnerable citizens in these underserved communities. 😞 This allowing an unlimited, amount of migrants to come into New York City is just dumb because it’s not showing kindness. It’s actually cruel to vulnerable people in these underserve communities. It’s making their life harder and making things much worse for them. I can attest to that and what will next year bring. 🥺 Patient Patience subjected to this will have it harder. Their quality of life will be impacted and they’re mortality will also be impacted. This is upsetting… The low-income, government assisted, chronically ill, are paying and will pay quite a price for this decision.
God bless you and keep you safs...but you def should consider a job and life outside NYC..
Years ago a cousin of mine was stealing things from different places. One night she had a brand new pair of shoes that she had slipped off outside, at the front door. The next morning they were gone. She was so upset and I said “well, how does it feel?” She quit stealing. Maybe we need to follow these criminals home and take a few things of theirs.
And get pew, pewed. No thank you!
Combating theft with theft?
Doesn't always work. My relative has a lifetime goal of always one-upping herself. It would take me 8 months to ask everyone she's stolen from how they feel.
She did not pay for them so why does it matter.
Honey, I seen a homeless dude in dolce and gabbana and 3 pairs of pants. Trust me, the people who make the money are finding all of this amusing.
Nobody could see this coming? Baloney! We've been screaming it from the rooftops for four years now.
No. We've been talking about it for over 50 years.
The dollar tree down the hill from my home closed a while ago due to theft. a DOLLAR TREE. it is insane that people are so mentally bankrupt that they cannot understand that their actions damage entire communities.
I was waiting for the clip where someone rushed into the NYPD store and stole some sweats. 😂😂😂
The government doing everything BUT solving the problems in NYC…I swear the criminals have more rights than the normal working class…sad
Even sadder are all the new Yorkers who still support Biden and the left despite how bad things have gotten. It's hard to feel sorry for people that welcome struggle.
read my top comment on this page
That's what the people of New York voted for. When you vote to not pay people to enforce the law the law doesn't get enforced. When you vote for DAs that don't press charges against criminals for the crimes they commit criminals don't go to jail for the crimes they commit. When you vote Democrat you get New York City or Chicago or La or any other blue City where crime is running rampant because they don't prosecute criminals.
@@Lauren-vd4qeyou don't have a top comment on this page.
The government is doing what they were elected to do. When you defund the police there's no one to enforce the law. When you elect DAs who don't prosecute crimes criminals run free. This is what you get when you vote for a Democrat. They ran on this. People specifically voted for this. And they were warned this would happen. And here's the kicker. They'll vote for it again!
Wait until the congestion pricing starts you’re gonna see a lot more stores closing New York is finished
The city council will then implement taxes for businesses shutting down, and then try to enforce black markets to tax. lol you get what you vote for.
That’s what I said!😮
This whole country is finished.
What is this congestion pricing you speak of?
@@ronzombie6541 Just another scam. They thought up buzz words like "stroads" and "walkable cities" so they can: The congestion pricing plan will charge most passenger cars $15 a day to enter Manhattan at 60th Street or below during peak hours; commercial trucks will be charged $24 or $36 during those times. Have you heard of Wendy's Burger Surge Pricing? They were going to price their burgers differently at different times. FOMO burgers. The future is very bleak.
Cash, many of us saw this coming. That's why we don't live in NYC (or similar places).
I'd rather get "scammed" paying less for a smaller amount of an item than... well, not be able to afford any of it at all. Oh, and don't come back at me with "shoulds" like "the prices SHOULD be lower" or anything like that. Deal with reality.
Why don’t people understand this is done ON PURPOSE
Why would it be on purpose? What does anybody have to gain from stores closing and businesses moving out?
@@chautauquatrail eventually stores shutter, property values go down than those who have money buy it all up for other purposes.

@@kentbidjouhd9538 you are paying for all the thieves
Dollar Tree is closing everywhere (over 600 stores)because they're model is no longer profitable. Countrywide. Shoplifting also, but it's the business itself. Other places with competitive prices exist now that they simply cannot compete with. (Walmarts the major one)
Where i live, Dollar general got rid of self checkout becaùse of stealing.
"Locking up the products rather than locking up the criminals." Well said yet so sad!

''In New York we'd rather lock up our products than our criminals'' LOL.
its more "expensive" having criminals locked up than products 😂
@@instant3 There is a way for criminals to be useful and not just a waste of money. Too bad it's seen as immoral today
The only thing i thought of reading this title was all the Walgreens closing over theft.... except they already on paper had plans to close them a year before that ever began 🤫
You reap what you sow. Well said. Well said.
I live in CA and Thursday, our 99 Cent Stores, which have been in business for over 40 years in several states in the west are closing all 371 locations. This is a huge hit because they also have low cost groceries and fresh produce in areas that are food deserts. This affects low income, elderly. It is also a hard hit to over 14,000 employees who are now out of work. It is hitting people all over the country. Thank you for your reporting Cash.
Guess they should have charged $1.00 😂 Blame the Soros funded DA and political judges 💩👋🏻

Yep, first dollar tree, now my favorite, our 99 cent only stores...heartbreaking, all our big lots are closed too. 😢

More left-wing countries don't have this issue because we give our poor enough welfare to buy their basic clothes and makeup and crap on top of their food. Its also why we're so much skinnier on average.
I'm impressed you have expanded your scope to social forces affecting living in the city. Great research and scripting.
Why aren't exit doors provided with remote activated locks? If the shoplifters can't leave until the cops show up, wouldn't that be the solution? High-end stores have done this for years!
They can change to order only. They can also setup their check out like Costco and Sam’s where you have check the recipe and items purchased before leaving the store. Lastly, implement Texas laws on shoplifting and that will deter a lot of people.
You don’t was to arrested for shoplifting in Texas, very bad.
“New York City would rather lock up their products than their criminals.” How ironic. Great quote.

“Dollar General Overcharges ‘Hundreds of Thousands’ of Customers, Lawsuit Alleges

This country is going down the hills!!
In my town there's a Dollar General about a mile from my house that won't accept cash now because of robberies. The Save A Lot next door closed permanently and vacatec their premises either for the same reason, shoplifting, or the fact that people hardly went there since their prices were higher than the local supermarket's.
It feels like every city is methodically declining: new york, la, san Francisco, vancouver, london, paris. All of our governments seem to want Western cities to collapse. I dont know a single person who doesnt think their city isnt in freefall
I think what has happened the last 20 years is exactly that. European middleclass is just too high maintainance.
It's engineered. It's about the 90% (majority of society) and the 10% (them - earning over $500,000 a year)...
It's when the city reaches a limit on certain demographics crime just spirals out of control. 😂😂
They want us to be at each other's throats.
Yeah, but San Francisco it was rich people paying poor under privilege kids to steal. It was actually a blonde woman. Near the Tahoe area, paying poor under privileged kids to steal from stores - google it.
The scary part is when you read feral comments on viral looting videos like "tHeY gOts InShORANCE to pay fo it"
"Feral comments" is perfect

There's some in this very comment section. Somehow this teaches the rich CEO a lesson when all those people lose their jobs and other people lose the store they shopped at.

Our economy is destined to collapse. It's IMPOSSIBLE for it not to. I DEFY anyone to reasonably arque otherwise!!
hello from hellas here we have the same problem with you and much worst to inflation although we don't have the fenomenal of thieves to the s.m stores yet
Everyone saw this coming.
You can stop shop lifting tomorrow if you want to… but the residents of nyc have to actually want to stop the shoplifting. Issues like this are always interesting, because when elections roll around you get to see what people actually think about them; we’ll know soon enough if New Yorkers want law and order or if the love their criminals and want businesses shut down.
Always remember, there are multiple sides to every story… and debating them won’t stop a single store from closing.
Doesn’t matter since thieves can vote, and likely took, say, a fraction of the voting bloc permanently.
When they no longer have stores to steal from, where do you thinik they'll go next? The honest, hardworking, taxpaying citizens are on the verge of a nightmare. These thieves aren't going to stop just because the stores are leaving, they'll just look for other targets.
This has nothing to do with feeding families, it is just easy money for those that do not want to work or contribute.
It's also a display of power. A lot of criminals do what they do because it makes them feel cool and strong.
The people with family and obeying the law are shunned as collateral damage .
The elderly the disabled the veterans
The families paying and struggling and working are the ones receiving consequences for the shoplifting people .
We have to pay more so now we can’t afford to shop these stores and then the shoplifters again so they raise the prices and less people can afford to live .
See the cycle being caused by all this yet?

Lmao! New York isn’t socialist. This is capitalism on display…
@@MikeD_5 This is not socialism . This is the down side of capitalism . Parasitism . Social parasitism is culture based and not necessarily racially motivated.
They need to close the doors to the shops to people coming in. They can order online and either pick up their stuff at a window or delivery service. What else can they do? These thieves are destroying the businesses that are needed for those communities. It makes no sense.
This is sickening! As someone who must shop at Dollar General because I’m now disabled and on a fixed income…I STILL see things at DG I want and cannot afford. That being said, I wouldn’t steal them. Those who steal hike the prices for those who do not!
Then you are dumb and broke. Dollar stores have higher price per amount than anywhere else. They just package it in smaller containers and charge slightly less. Look it up if you don't understand. It's a grift
what is your disability? maybe you're faking it
But then, prices are still rising without regard for thieves. Fruits in any supermarket should be cents because of streamlined farming, not bucks.
The other point to note is that the thief could be in cahoots with the manager (read: corruption) for the burglar to be a 'fall guy' making the store leave (read: manufacturing pretense). Walgreens stores around San-Francisco is one such example of that.
But DG prices are often higher than buying the same item elsewhere on a price/unit basis.
Since you don't mind watching documentaries, you should probably watch the one on Dollar General. These small "budget"stores actually cost more per oz / lb for the things they sell than normal stores in normal quantities.
All those people complaining will check off Adams , Hochul , AOC, Schumer and Biden on the ballots again
Yup, the Left media has brainwashed them I to thinking no matter how bad it gets under Democrats it will get worse under Republicans. Polls showing a great shift to the right. However, unless I see it in November I don't believe it.
Don't forget to blame BLACKS for this also.
That's too much work. More likely they'll have someone else do it for them after ballotharvesting.
@@WhytePride4ever2 Just out of curiosity who do you think is doing it?
Most times, they've been made addicted to the system. So they just keep voting the same way.
President Lyndon Johnson knows what he was saying when he said it.
I remember a Time where you would get clowned and ridiculed for shopping at Woolworth or 99 Cents Store in your hood.
Fast-forward to 2024-
Cacusian Man " Theyre Closing All the Dollar Discount Stores!!!" 😂
I love your contact you're going to hit a million subscribers in no time
If the deterrent against theft is a slap on the wrist, then of course criminals are going to do their thing. NYC is soft on crime and business owners are paying the price. That’s why so many stores are shuttering and taking their stores elsewhere.
Right, but Trump stealing millions from taxpayers is a 'victimless crime'
What slap on the rest? They don't get a slap on the wrist. They get released without bail. They spend maybe 6 hours with the police. Thanks to the way the people in this video voted New York prisons have a revolving door.
Why don't you send some flowers to the CEO of Dollar tree if you feel so bad about his loss? He makes 130 million per year, so you'll probably need to have his assistant deliver it to him on his yacht
Perfect opertunity to flee ny
You can't be tough on shoplifting/theft in an ultra-capitalist country unless the economy is literally booming for everyone. its why they don't prosecute for shoplifting in Brazil either.
Wow, that thumbnail really makes me want to watch your very real and informative video...
This great news for Amazon!
I visited NYC at its peak several times between 2001 - 2014. As a foreign tourist with a high income I would never visit now , I’m posting this from a 5 star hotel in Bangkok then I’m in Tokyo spending money for a week that I previously would spend in the USA.
Not anymore , I will continue to avoid high crime and filthy conditions and spend my money in Asia. The recent pro Japan rant by Jimmy Kimmel on his late night show was so cringe and lacking in self awareness. How can he not realise Japan is the opposite of the USA because their law and order policy and culture is the exact opposite of the degenerate policy he promotes and votes for in the USA.
I was a tourist in LA last Oct. It's a poor country with a lot of rich people. Many countries are like that but really clamp down on law and order. I'm going to Thailand in July!
You wanna see America don't go to big cities. Period America has .ore to offer then that those garbage cities
All true. Comedically juxtaposed to this is that two of the most sought after items in Japan/Asia are a Harley Davidson and Vintage Levi's...I hope they don't follow our lead of defunding and devaluing the police though, cause that led to a lot of this along with no bail and not sentencing people to hard time.
When I lived in San Francisco - exact same story. Police would refuse to take reports to keep their stats looking good. "Hey! We want tourists! So no paper to show that our crime is just as bad as Detroit."
In 2 years my car had its windows smashed 14 times. When you report it the COPS crack jokes.
Handle it yourselves. The politicians don't give a damn, THEY are the total problem!!!
Republican states and city's do not have this problem do you wonder why? this woke agenda less police = less crime is not working but they cant admit they made mistakes !
@thomashauguel6811 and what will be your suggestion when it is happening all over? Where will ppl move to where they have a job and won’t have to deal with crime? Also some ppl have kids and can’t easily pick up and move. Sometimes moving can cost thousands. We don’t all get free hand outs like the immigrants
Oh my god! 14 times. The government should change but it won’t since our country is bi-polar and this is not one of those swing states. I think things could change if every state is a swing state
Makes sense...criminals crack windows...cops crack jokes...a TOTAL crackup!...🤕
Half the neighborhood stealing and the other half is paying twice. Now that's community action!
Of course it doesn't alleviate poverty to be soft on crime. It's not just the mom & pop stores that can't survive in this environment, but every store that closes means fewer jobs available to the locals, which means, if you're lucky, more commuting to work elsewhere which means more time and money spent, more expense on child care, etc. and more joblessness. Just like raising the minimum wage means that shops will hire fewer people. It's not rocket science, it's basic economics.
closing these stores will deprive the 'community' of places to steal from
😂
sheeeeeeeit!
"CRIME IS DOWN" folks (Mayor Adams) !!!!! ........ (because no one is stopping, reporting, arresting, jailing, prosecuting, fining, etc)
Make crime legal and by definition crime falls radically.
Start suing the government!!!!
Exactly!
@@SusiBlumentopf Where would that lawsuit go? To a government employed judge. Yep he's going to vote himself out of a job just wait for it. That new judge had to get a gag order on the orange guy because the judge's daughter has received over $3 million from Adam Schiff when the imp peaches started. Have you heard about that Fani lady and Nathan's hot dog? Only he got fired even though she was his boss and more guilty but nobody can stop Big Fani. That's the justice system. She has to wear her dress on backwards so she can unzip it from the front faster. That's the DA.
This is crazy
Only easy solution I can think of is to block off part of store where you can go in to steel reinforce window ask for product and have then slid to customers after paying.
Kind of like they do in bad neighborhoods where you can't even go into the store.
I left NYC also partly because the prices for basic items at CVS, Rite Aid, and Target were ridiculously high, often times behind glass with employees being super slow or not there to open things, or the shelves were all empty. I hated living there!
im an italian who had been following your channel for a while and i think that companies has the full right of closing whenever they want due to crime or shoplifting.
people are getting what they voted for
I'm in Atlanta Georgia and I'm telling you it's the same thing...
Exactly!
@@patoni860vote red this time! I am. I voted blue. This administration is extremely weak!!
The 99 cents only company is closing ALL of its stores in the US and going bankrupt.
I know, I am sad they are closing here in Las Vegas. I don't know how people are going to make it.
Never heard of them
@@helenfein6103they can make it by voting for people who don't try to steal your income for social experiments and by putting in lots of hard work to improve your skill sets and marketability to provide a service or good. Ain't easy but f... It el slavery is what ny voted for. Because they care about criminals 😂
Yep! The one in my little town announced its closing here in “beautiful” California. A lot of people depended on this store. You all know, or have heard, how expensive it is living here
Diversity sure is great - isnt it?
My dad always said," If your gonna steal, steal big".
Worst part, the whole understaffed issue is rampant beyond belief. Many stores have been reduced too one or two employees per shift. How much do companies (& customers ) expect out of one person vs four plus??? No one wants to work the crappy retail job,customers are disrespectful, rude, expect you the minimum wage worker to dote on their every whim whether or not it's part of the job( seriously had people demand I make a phone call for them, unplug our ice freezer to charge their phone, and expect a refund on a jug of milk from a different brand then we carried, just to name a few.) Then we add useless politicians on BOTH side of the aisle, lenient sentencing, and you've a recipe for business collapse.
Yeah, closing these stores will deprive the 'community' of places to steal from. Always run away from anyone using the word 'community'.
Then they'll start targeting homes, if not already.
It has communism built in
That just sounds sociopathic if you're not gonna explain your reasoning in any way shape or form. So, it probably is, sociopaths don't like to explain themselves because they're wrong.
these store close they will target the remaining stores still open in their community
Communists love the word community. Anything that takes rights away from individuals in favour of blanket policies like the ones in new York are havens for crime and Thieves because that's what communism actually produces, poverty and class warfare.
Just 1 time of being locked up on Rikers Island will scare a shoplifter straight. The jail is literally NO JOKE! Start arresting people and stop this nonsense.
It costs so much, that money has to go to new comers and Ukraine
Probably no Vacancy lol
Every jail is a joke the second time, herein lies the problem. Your country jails kids in boot camps..send minors to jail for nonsense like weed..and thus they lose their fear of jail entirely.
@@KennyG233 No one is sending direct money to Ukraine. It is the war equipment that is being sent and that keeps production going in the US.
How is there no vacancy? No one gets locked up.
