Having worked at a corner store before, thievery was a regular ass occurrence. Back in 2013 we had formula locked up as well as most personal grooming and sex-related products. All the liquor had tags and anything over $25 was kept behind the counter. Hell, even things like Svedka. If something had a name brand and kept getting swiped, we moved that shyt.
I can only imagine what it is like now. Shortages on shyt, people steal a ton of it, and then customers complain to and about the store not having items when the shyt isn't their fault.
