I wouldn't be surprised if some corporations wanted to close some stores. Far cheaper to house merchandise in a warehouse and sell it online than staff and maintaina multiple large stores for customers.
I think you will see more closures, but I would be careful accepting the excuses they give for closing.
It's not all about theft.
In regards to the Amazon model of selling online out of warehouses and package delivery. I've always wondered how efficient that is and the impact on the environment.
The problem would be groceries and drugs. Let's say you order some groceries, let's say there's a huge backlog and you don't get your order for 4 days. For people with kids, this is a problem.
Also medications would be an issue. With the rampant theft in stores like CVS, having a backlog/disruption in medications could be life-threatening for some individuals.
It's far easier for the consumers just to drive out to their local CVS or grocery store and pick up what they need.
Amazon used to promise 1 day deliver, but now almost all my orders are 2 days. I don't mind because I'm not ordering food. But if I'm ordering food or meds, I need it now.
Why aren't District Attornies prosecuting theft? How did these District Attornies get into office?
