This is great!!! Now maybe small mom pops can thrive again in that community..We should all steal from Walmart untill they can only be found in maga Neighborhoods... That way in our communities small businesses will thrive and in theirs they keep crying about not having a job.
Most theft in retail period is from the inside. I have worked a few retail positions in my life time. It's easier for Walmart to close stores in poorer areas first to cut cost. But believe it, them suburban stores getting robbed too. They stay stocked better than hood marts.
@@donneysimpson8536 I've worked retail for 23 years, 14 of those years in LP. Every store I've worked at has spouted that complete nonsense about most theft being internal. It's a load of bullsh1t and not even REMOTELY true. The myth is propped up by 2 things. 1. Most LP employees at these retailers are unsupervised the majority of the time and spend an absurd amount of time either texting on their phone, watching videos, sleeping etc. So the majority of shoplifters are walking in, stealing and walking out the door all while the LP employee is doing just about anything but working. 2. In terms of internal cases, at least 2/3rds are employees getting caught stealing food for their break. Occasionally an employee will get caught stealing much larger amounts. But those large cases are the exception. And I've worked in both small town and inner city stores. It's not even close to compare the 2. In suburb stores we'd consider an average week to be about 10 cases. In the city stores? 10 A DAY was normal.
Walmart has to have attorneys pick over their public statements on this otherwise it could get them into big hassles with activist groups. But Walmart knows that everyone knows what the truth is.
Not punishing theft means the thieves will keep running businesses into the ground. Smaller businesses are closing too. The businesses are under no obligation to continue operation in locations where they are getting robbed blind.
it's scary to see these communities are capable of destroying business as powerful as walmart! and of course their city leaders will never confront the elephant in the room. way to go folks!
"tell them blacks to stfu and replace these voters with hispanics already" message from demoKKKrats DemoKKKrat black voter replacement theory, go ahead and step over these americans age of the hispanics is upon us, all for a political party that supported slavery why do you think they are importing millions of south americans, they already outnumber blacks by 50% and yet import 10% of the black population every few years
just remember, there are no Elephants, in Chicago. Not one Libertarian, Conservative, or Republican ran for the Mayor's Election, in that City. Also, Police Chief's are an appointed political Position, not accountable to a vote.
It's so crazy to me that they'll blame whites for this, not address the real issue. Hopefully, this won't last long, and we can do something serious about it.
@@vysrom4440last long? How new are you? They know they're lying, they're not that dumb. And they're never going to change. They will keep killing, robbing, stabbing, and selling drugs, and it's da huwite man's fault dey ain't got nuffin.
Big difference when I use to live in Long Beach, CA walmarts have a number of locked items in every department because of theft. Now living in Wyoming where no locked items except cigarettes at the register because there's hardly any crime happening there.
It's not just the shoplifters it's the employees too .The Local Super K-Mart closed 15+ years ago the employees weren't scanning the products and not charging their friends and the Security guards were involved too , some of the merchandise went from the delivery trucks straight into peoples vehicles . About 29 people were arrested including shift managers. It doesn't matter if the stores crowded or not if people aren't paying for stuff.
I guarantee whomever was able to be a manger there should deserve the a Nobel peace prize if they didn’t physically assault one of their employees on a daily basis. If it’s a bad neighborhood then you know what kind of people work there.
Imagine letting your community and YOUR children get so out of control that not even Walmart is willing to take the losses of dealing with your city...
After you shit in your mess kit, it’s no surprise the food tastes worse. After you steal everything on the store shelves, it’s no surprise the store closes.
" TRYING TO STARVE THE BLACK COMMUNITY" WASNT THAT A STUPID DUMB COMMENT, THAT GUY HAD TO BRING IN THE RACE CARD UH?

BUT THEY ACCEPT THAT CRAP AS IF ITS JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE HOOD. I DONT BLAME ANY BUSINESS FOR CLOSING BECAUSE OF IGNORANT FOOLS. THEN THEY COMPLAIN LIKE THAT GUY. WE HAVE NO WHERE TO SHOP NOW. WTH.
This is what happens when you let people shoplift and don't hold them accountable for their crime. It is always the honest hardworking people that end up paying the price .
I'm not sure but does Costco have a problem with robbery also ? Shoppers need to have a member I.D. card to enter and must consent to be checked by security when leaving the store . If that's what it takes to stop the robbery Wally should go this way too .
It’s not just that, and people really need to hear this and let it sink in: If you are a democrat, understand that the lawmakers and district attorneys in these cities are hard left and very woke. They are connected to the social justice groups and they have adopted the idea that the country is a white supremacist racist system targeting black men hence the high percentage black prison population. They believe in order to bring this system down, they must arrest and prosecute less black men. They are changing the laws to where you pretty much need to murder or commit a very violent act to be arrested. Woke District attorneys who stand with social justice groups like blm refuse to prosecute most robberies and release repeat offenders back onto the streets over and over again. This is solely to push against a system they deem racist. People need to look up the lawmakers and district attorneys in their cities who are not upholding the law, they need to expose these people, and they need to vote them the F out. YOU need to vote them out. All of you. All of us. Or else this will only get worse.
@@smerchly they won't steal because they have your address from the member ship card. But of course maybe you could fake it. But still got some information. Maybe walmart can do free membership mandatory. Only way I see it vs just walking in.
There was a successful black car dealer in Des Moines Iowa, who wanted to “give back” to the community by building a large grocery store in the ghetto part of town. They thanked him by stealing him blind, until he had to close it as he was near bankruptcy. It was so sad.
I bet you anything they found a way to blame white people. I am black and NOT proud. Our people HAVE TO DO BETTER! we are only reinforcing the stereotypes about us.

They are stunned? "Starve the black neighborhood?" This is why they are leaving, the mentality is Walmart owes them? The bottom line the cost of running the stores due to theft and staffing issues. We will see more of this around the nation. Look at all the stores closing around the nation. The locals act like Walmart has to continue to serve them.
Have the people raising hell about a business of any type run one and try to keep the doors open with thieves stealing them blind. Most people do not understand by the time you pay utilities, salaries,insurance,and what it cost you to keep the shelves stocked it eats up a businesses gross income very quick and you add uncontrollable theft in the picture a business cannot stay open without losing your ass. Profit margins under the build back better plan the Biden administration has blessed us all with are not that great without raising price to cover increased costs of operating a business.
they are a 300 billion dollar company and the owners are top 10 richest people in the WORLD you are a massive idiot if u think the word ‘profit’ has any meaning to them, they will die before even spending 1/8 of that money.
You know your living in a shit hole area when even Walmart closes stores. It’s a damn shame for all the decent folk who have to bare this burden because of a lawless element .
These people think it's the government or magic that stores just appear in their neighborhood. It's literally beyond their comprehension that these businesses look at a area and decide if there are people there that are potential customers When the people in the community loot and rob the store it loses money and owners lose money and they move out or don't even move in in the first place Now the people that live there can look in wonder and scratch their head why there ain't no wall mart there any more
@@elypowell6797 Because free speech and honesty are now considered hate speech. Honesty is hateful to people who need to lurk in the shadows. You're exposing their con.
But now they can rob the Uber driver on the way there. Then act surprised when Uber refuse to service that area. Within a year all coper cables will be ripped out of this building.
Blacks burned down the DMV and everybody in the neighborhood cheered. For the last 40 years blacks travel miles across town to where the new DMV was built
Or if they had armed guards and could shoot them. There’s no difference between shoplifting and someone breaking into your home and stealing everything. Try that south of the border, Asia, Middle East or Africa and see what happens.
Problem with that is . ... in our state there is a dollar limit for shoplifting crimes between a misdemeanor and a felony charge, so the criminals know just how much they can steal for a misdemeanor charge if caught. Then they return next day and steal again. It's a cycle that never stops. The limit needs to be anything above $.01. Stealing is stealing. A thug thief is a thug thief. The mentality has been dictated by the dollar limits stolen and that's ridiculous !
Well I said it and I don't care,this is all you see on the news ,is blks stealing,robing,and damaging stores this is the real reason,now they will blame the white man for this not treating them fairly
Pete Buttigeg would probably respond..."It's probably hard for Walmart trucks to get past those low racist bridges that surround Black neighborhoods."🤡
@C-Lyfe85 walmart released a statement outright saying that if the theft didn't slow down, they would close. Theft continued unabated and they closed. Walmart even warned them
And stores will close in those communities.Period!!Don't go blaming the White man when they close either.Our own community won't get anything until we start holding each other accountable.You don't see this shit in white neighborhoods because they wouldn't tolerate their own people destroying their neighborhood.Period
@@markballard1515 but they do reduce crime, a good investment rather than not prosecute which increases crime, I am amazed that I need to point this out
@@greensorrel6860 Prosecuting and jailing at a cost of about 5 to 20k for 3 or 4 hundred dollars worth of merchandise might not work today. Chicago doesn’t print money. 220,000 misdemeanors do the math.
I must add more. In my Walmart that shut down last year, every single time I bought anything, the man at the exit checking shoppers items to make sure people was not stealing, always checked my items thoroughly. It never failed. I was buying dog and cat food. He was black and I am white. I came from the checkout area so he should have known I had paid for mine but black customers were not being stopped even when they were leaving the store with TVs in their cart and they had not gone through the checkout. To me it was an inside job where the guy that was hired to prevent theft was actually helping theft happen. I called him out on it every time. I said to him it looks like you are targeting a paying white customer and you are not even stopping your own kind who did not come from a checkout. He just laughed and said it is random and I said if it was random I would not be checked every time. When they first opened they realized there was a large theft problem. It started out as a 24 hour full size state of the art Walmart and within the first month they decided to remodel it to being 60% smaller so they could handle the thievery and then only had the store open 8 AM to 10 PM. Very inconvenient with checkout lines full all day. Most of the shopping trip was standing in line. They still could not make money with the thievery so it shut down. You can thank the so called "brothas" and "sistas" for thinking Walmart is the free store.
@@jasonvoorhees7288 No. the world is turned upside down. I would come across as the racist if I did what was right. They should have known better than to place the wolf guarding the hen house.
Either he was in on it, getting paid by them, or he was scared of them and knew you wouldn't do anything to him other than words. Those fools would've beat or shot him without hesitation if he stopped them either right then and there or at a later date.
no one called you a racist here tho, this should be noted. i know you are stating your experience, i live 3 miles from walmart HQ and they would NOT listen to you, these people drink the kool aid
People can't understand that a business needs to remain profitable to stay open. I keep hearing leftists who never once ran a business complaining about how corporations have too much money so they should pay their fair share. Whatever.
The crossed eyed man is really living in a world of delusion. I swear it. These stores have been experiencing a slew of thefts and these bandits know nothing is going to happen so they keep doing it. How do you expect a company to thrive when they are loosing more than what they are bringing in? Blame your community not everyone else. I would pull my stores out of there too

Go to the Walmart in Lincolnwood, and it always looks like a tornado hit the aisles, stuff thrown all over, merchandise laying on the floor, empty shelves, and kids playing with toys.. I'm not surprised at all, People stealing, and nobody stops them. I don't blame the store at all.
I live in Lincolnwood. The one you're talking about is considered skokie. They aren't closing. The one Lincolnwood location is the pick up drop off center near planet fitness that's closing.
@@chanabayla1823 I go to the one in Skokie; I've never seen anything even REMOTELY close to what the previous commenter is describing, but then again, when I go, it's normally during the weekday mornings.
Last week I read that some people are upset the fact the stores have items locked behind glass so it makes their shopping aggravating. 🤷♀️ It’s done because of the stealing.
Those people should have had their Mayor talk to Mayor Lightfoot, before the recent mayoral primary, she told all the business's it's their fault for the rampant theft and robberies because they should have payed for their own private security guards, not depend on the police, and the retailers should have started chaining up high cost handbags and using more plastic shields to prevent people from stealing other costly items off shelves.
This is what happens when people start shoplifting in large mobs. Businesses are getting tired of people bursting into their stores in large flash mobs robbing the place.
Walmart should have been honest about the reason they have to close. But they know that the same people who are looting freely would be the ones on camera “denouncing” them for being r@cist.
They are closing because of simple math. It just so happens that every single Walmart suffering high levels of theft is in a predominantly black neighborhood.
To the man who said Walmart is trying to starve the black neighborhood, riddle me this: why did they open in a black neighborhood to begin with if that was Walmart's goal?
This is Detroit repeating itself again. It was one of the most industrialized and richest places in the world and when crime took over, it became one of the most rundown places.
If there's so much theft going on all the time, then it does not make sense to keep Wallmart open. It's sad that people from the same neighborhood working at Wallmart are loosing their job. Shoplifters should realize that.
I think that is the reason the company gives the public. I think there is something else going on. Maybe Walmart is losing money to Amazon. It just seems like shoplifting is a small problem to me
@@baggins1 I heard that, but still think that it is only a small problem. I am sure Walmart isn't the only store people are willing to steal from. Other stores in Portland should be saying the same thing. Target? Kohl's? What other big box stores are having these "shoplifting" issues. In my opinion I think the potential unionizing efforts is the reason stores are closing in Portland. Shoplifting is the reason they present to the public.
I remember a story of a former North Korean woman, who went through far worse than the people in Chicago, being mugged in Chicago and being called a racist by the people around her for calling the police on the person who mugged her.
So, a group of ... kids .. come in and grab everything they can hold in their arms and carts and run out of the door with it again and again, and you're going to pretend you don't know why the store is closing? Right.
They don’t have anything because when something is stolen, it isn’t scanned, so it still appears in stock on the system. Hence, no need to reorder until they do a physical inventory and find out how much stuff got stolen.
@@solomontillman1574 you could walk out, the employees aren’t going to stop you like police. And the police in blue states won’t do anything because they’ll be arrested themselves for doing it.
@@transparentglazier That's a horse blinders way of looking at it. Just because the store may be located in a decent town, doesn't mean that the towns/cities NEXT to that decent town aren't full of a bunch of 5 finger discount paras1te$.
True! The Winco stores are battling theft. They can't get enough checkers as it is sometimes there is only 1 checker. Young people feel entitled and their parents are to blame.
Stores that close have a lot of shoplifting. The store loses a lot of money because of it. Also, doesn’t help that certain Walmarts have cops constantly being called for either fighting or shoplifters.
Then the stores need to have security. Or they should lock up the items that are the most expensive. If WM can pay employees $12-18/hr, they can hire security. No excuse.
This is very sad, but the first step to solving a problem is admitting that the problem exists. When it's considered culturally unacceptable to acknowledge and discuss the problem, it makes it impossible to solve.

@@underwaterlevelz1947 The economy is in the shiter and companies are finally starting to feel it. The reality is these stores have been theft magnets and have been losing money for years. Companies like Walmart just can't afford to subsidize these stores anymore.
Walmart still has stores in Chicago because of security such as having a block long single access point driveway before entering the parking lot and having several security guards at the store entrance.
@@cecegiles4583 not even just stealing, people will open a box of candy and eat one pack out of it. Can't sell it then, so the store takes it as a loss. Take one pair of socks, one pair of underwear out of the bag, etc. It adds up.
@@suspicious2delicious sad Parr is they don't care. Bad thing is the animals will just move to the next place and do the same. They are their own worst enemy
Note to ALL shoppers nationwide and we ALL see it. When they start locking items up, that's the beginning of the end right there, say bye-bye to the store and all those jobs with benefits!!! Decisions are being made in corporate boardrooms, they see the videos of people walking in and walking out with merchandise. Many will go through checkout to pay for "some items" but have hundreds or even thousands of dollars' worth of merchandise under their clothes and in their bags and pockets. Many jokes are being made about these shoplifters having to drive to stores further away but rest assured, it won't be long before they too are closed. Our nation has turned to shit. This all started with the riots and the looting. These companies are saying no more, we can't do this anymore. Moral decay of our nation.
It's not the nation, mostly Democrat run cities. I live in a small town in PA and it has everything you'd ever need. We have seriously zero crime. Worst I gear recently is someone egged a car.
Dishonesty creates financial stress and financial stress leads to the collapse of nations. In the end, the crisis is really about morality - corruption in government, illegitimacy, dependency, crime, propaganda in education, familial dissolution, societal fragmentation, corruption in the news media...
There is a certain genre of individuals stealing everything not bolted down, I don’t blame them for getting the heck out of there! Our Walmart has the black hair products behind glass because the stuff was walking out like it had legs!
I saw articles about those items being secured because of high theft rates and then groups complaining it was because of racism. No one likes to admit their demographic are the prevalent thieves and criminals in the area. I watched videos in Portland of several women of certain demographics filling purses and bags of expensive luxury items then waddling out of the store two three at a time. You raise thieves, expect to be inconvenienced.
Nonsense. I work in Oregon and Idaho where they don’t sell black hair products. And multiple Walmarts closing out here. The hair and cosmetic section are lock up here because of stealing. It’s BS. The economy is tanking. The major corporations are preparing for what’s coming next.
Gosh. Wow these comments are quite shocking. Funnily I once lived in Indian community called Surrey in a suburb of Vancouver (I’m not Indian though). When I moved there I was so surprised that all Gillette and brand name razors were all locked away behind a glass. Entire shelves were locked away actually. Never seen anything like it in other cities and I lived in much bigger cities than that. 😂 I thought to myself who the heck lock away all the razors (both men and women’s) 😅 I guess people were stealing razors and all the shaving products from that particular Walmart omg 🤣 Why they steal those I can’t understand? Lol 😂
I go to this Walmart all the time. I just shopped there today. But I can definitely tell y’all that this Walmart has been going to shit ever since I’ve been shopping there. Most of the employees are ghetto, rude, and lazy. Lines are always show and long, and there are always only a few cashiers in the front for check out. And there are definitely thieves that are stealing items, I see opened products there looking like they’ve been used all the time. So this Walmart and it’s employees aren’t getting any sympathy from me 😂.
After a while the insurance company declares you a high risk location and charges more than you can afford. The amount of theft required for this to happen is tremendous. Just think about how much raw tonnage of goods must be stolen from that WalMart every day. And yet nobody saw nothing.

My niece is a manager at a Walmart and the shelf loss politely named shoplifting is way out of hand yes actually cutting into the bottom end exponentially. If it doesn’t stop they will keep closing stores. I read the financial news the other day that Best Buy is one of the bigger hit stores for shoplifting, and their closing many stores do the shoplifting they’d rather do online than anything else, there was a Walmart around where we live and they close because they couldn’t keep things on the shelf. It would go out the door not paid for and now people from that store are going to the next nearest Walmart and doing the same thing shoplifting there. It’s like a chain reaction stricter laws have to be put in place to do all the shoplifters in there has to be accountability.
Stricter laws aren't needed. Existing laws need enforced by the DA's office. There are laws on the book dealing with shoplifting that aren't being upheld by prosecutors. As long as no one is prosecuted these crimes, as long as stores aren't allowed to stop shoplifting, shoplifting will continue, and stores like Walmart will continue to close.
They're hoping other stores come in. 🙄 Not going to happen, because no store will put up with as much as Walmart. If they can't take the thefts, do people really think Amazon will eat those losses?
I went to a Walmart northwest of Miami in the late morning. Like all Walmarts, it had self checkout corrals at both exits. But none were open. There were about 10 actual cashiers checking people out. We all know the reason, massive shoplifting in the self checkout. Never seen a Walmart with shoplifting so bad they can't even open self checkout before.
I hope they close the self checkout near my house too. I have enough of these evil people stealing from WM. I work hard and pay for what I need. Many thieves I see are on EBT.
From what I remember, Walmart had self checkout as early as 2007. I remember they got rid of it a few years later at the locations I used to go to. Then suddenly in the past few years, it's back. I assume theft is a huge problem they discovered years ago.
I work at the biggest Walmart in Arizona in the heart of Phoenix. It has the second-highest shrinkage AKA theft in the entire state. This is why Walmart is moving towards online delivery only. Within 10 years Walmart will be exclusively digital-only. And you can thank the theft for that. Roughly 30 to 40 per-cent of items in the Walmart where I work are locked away.
You also realize that Phoenix is not the same city it was even 10 years ago. Influx of folks from California and the Midwest/East means it's more congested in the suburbs and crime is up. All of California's problems migrated to Phoenix. Moved away in 2011. Every time I go back to visit family, I see that it's a different city.
@@DIVISIONINCISION California's problems didn't migrate out to Phoenix, the problems expanded out to Phoenix and is continuing to expand. We are doomed.
Let me tell you, I used to be an asset protection and loss prevention manager….. the amount of internal and external theft going on from inside the majority of Walmarts …… WHAT DID YOU EXPECT 😆🤦🏾♂️ and Amazon will probably open a factory for delivery services not shopping
amazon would be foolish to open a store for shopping in that neighborhood. They would just meet the same fate as walmart and will lose profit from all the theft.
First off, black ppl don’t talk like that 🤣. 2nd, it’s a moral dilemma. We all have our issues, but I feel if we as individuals be good ppl, we’ll get another day. Lots of personal decisions out there!
