Walgreens themselves claim it's significant enough to have a major impact on their operations in the city and are proactively shuttering stores in response. Stating that it's insignificant is fine but that won't help keep the Walgreens employees at those stores employed.

Walgreens made a billion dollars in profit last year, do you think this is in any way impacting their BILLION DOLLARS OF PROFITS.

No but they are a faceless corporation and will act rationally by shuttering stores. They have no obligation to continue operating at a loss. It's the security guards and cashiers that lose out. In the case of theft one group benefits at the expense of another.

Walgreens makes a billion dollars in profits (and made even more hosing people through soaking the gov on covid shot payments) and a petty theft will make them pull out of what is assumingly high value street property? Incredible.

Ah I see that makes more sense. So let the crime continue so that Walgreens shutters stores and employees lose their jobs but then they can sue for millions and will be way better off in the end. Basically use the system to sue people instead of using it to prevent crime.

Crime is the result of failing to provide basic necessities to people? Hell yeah, society failed them so whomst care. Did walgreens get punished by ANY entity beyond a class action lawsuit for wage theft? No. So why are we punishing petty theft harder?

That's probably where the disagreement lies. Certainly a percentage of crime is due to necessity. But white collar crime is probably orders of magnitude larger and negatively impacting society; those are not crimes of necessity. Would you agree?
