"Lack of profits" is literally just corporate speak for "rampant shoplifting". Walmart has no problem being profitable in other areas, but since Portland police aren't enforcing shoplifting laws any longer, people are likely to just walk out without paying, knowing there will be no consequences if they get caught.
Well, they got their consequences now.
...and the denizens who were doing the shoplifting will pivot to, "whyz we bein' in da food desert, y'all?"
Of course they will. And then the media will blame it on racism and white supremacy instead of asking why black people don't just start their own grocery stores to feed their communities.
Walmart, Target, and all the big box stores are outdone by Fred Meyer in Portland. The only Wal Mart I found up there was q dedicated grocery store.
Fred Meyer is the company to look at if you want to gauge the health of big box stores in that area.
Fred Meyer is indeed loads better than Walmart. Nicer stores, better grocery selection, but also quite a bit more expensive, since they carry mostly name brand items. They don't even have their own store brand like Walmart does, they sell Kroger store brands like Premium Selection and Simple Truth Organic instead.
I'm wondering how they're dealing with the shoplifting crisis though, especially in a city like Portland. My local store has started to close all side entrances by 8pm, apparently due to shoplifting, and I live in a suburban area. Fred Meyer has at least 8 stores in Portland proper, and at least half of them are closer to downtown than any of the Walmarts were.
The Chain should just leave every lib tard city
No they don't, lot's of complaining by locals in the article about all the other stores in the area being twice as expensive, and having to drive to the suburbs now for cheap groceries.
But at least I'm glad to see the PM is still doing journalism and reporting on the shoplifting claims. I saw a news report from a major cable news station posted on TheDonald and they made absolutely no mention of it and only aired the grievances of the last remaining paying customers.
they voted for it...
...but they will never admit it.
actions speak louder than words ever could...
BLM programmed mob mentality over individualism. We're already fighting an identity Politics crisis. Who I am on the outside clearly is not representative of my brain, however that is how we are being programmed.
So, drugged out white liberals still more than blacks? I’m impressed
The Communist mentality: 'I want everything to be free, and paid for by the state. Shoplifting is pretty close to that so it is okay. Besides, the corporation is The Man, f the Man."
These are the brainwashed and the morally unfit.
