So why include 300 Gough in the article? What point are you personally trying to make right now to me?

The question isn't wether or not shoplifting has increased, it's did those stores close due to shoplifting, i.e. did said shoplifting make those stores unprofitable. There are many other questions Walgreens is refusing to answer.

For this location, whether it was the shoplifting or the shoplifting-mitigation efforts put into place, there is absolutely zero question that this is the cause of this store closing. You would have needed to spend 2 seconds in it the past year to understand that

One can easily come to the conclusion that loss prevention efforts were put in to place because shoplifting was causing losses bigger than they could absorb, or that Walgreens is just engaging in security theatre, if Walgreens provided the data. They aren't doing that.

To imply that Walgreens engaged in a year of security theater (not to mention removing highly profitable cosmetics etc a year ago), so that it could later say it was closing due to shoplifting rather than poor sales is QUITE the argument, but seems to be the one you're making

That's not the argument I'm making, one of the few bits of data Walgreens released back in 2020 is that they were planning on closing 200 stores. My argument, it that monnied interest want a new DA who will turn a blind eye to their past and future crimes.

Well you're claiming that this location was one they were thinking about closing pre-COVID (in a highly affluent neighborhood that literally fought off CVS from also opening a couple blocks away, mind you). So then covid strikes, they decide to do "security theater" then close...

But it was all part of the plan from 2020. And they decided to engage in an entire year of an unprofitable year to be sure they could announce this right before a yet-to-be-planned recall of

But I'm glad you've finally stated your agenda which is that you support the DA. I'm saying: don't use this tactic of being like "well we just don't know!" To the people who actually live here and will be voting in the recall it feels like gaslighting.. Bc it is

YOU DON'T KNOW. They only thing YOU KNOW, is that the Walgreens in your neighborhood put in place increased loss prevention measures. They have not released data that reveals that, that store was unprofitable, and or shoplifting was the reason it was unprofitable.

I actually do know. What you learn when you have a PhD in statistics and work professionally in data is that you don't have to work off of one data source, and when something is so blatantly obvious you don't need a slavish devotion to tracking down that single source.
