In reply to the discussion: Walgreens says locking up products to prevent shoplifting hurts sales [View all]Linda ladeewolf
(869 posts)Crap as these companies throw in their dumpsters, it’s not theft that is costing them money, it’s their own wastefulness. I’m on one of the dumpster diving reddits, they show huge hauls of perfectly good merchandise and food tossed in the trash. After Christmas many of the stores throw mountains of unsold merchandise in the dumpsters, food, candy, clothes, cosmetics. It’s not just Walgreens, but almost every retail store tosses things. They take it off corporate taxes because it’s easier than selling at a lower price. Some of them damage items so they are unusable, some of these divers keep their local food pantries full, and many of them take damaged goods and up cycle them or repair them. Americans are wasteful, corporations are extremely wasteful.
