A supermarket chain has decided to remove popular household brands from a store in Washington, D.C., citing rising crime rates. The Ward 8 location of the grocery retailer Giant Food will no longer be carrying brands such as Tide detergent, Colgate toothpaste or even Advil ibuprofen, over a continued rise in theft and crime rates, the Washington Post reported. The company has previously weighed shutting down operations after it lost 20% of its revenue. “We want to continue to be able to serve the community, but we can’t do so at the level of significant loss or risk to our

This is what happens when you have crime and no punishment.

Once these fools find out what is going to replace the free market system that they are destroying, they will be sorry.

My son in law is connected and in Washington. He votes for them, believes what they do, and toes the line as a party member. He told me recently, "I may have to move out of the city since they legalized crime."

Leave the hood known as Dee Cee and move to “flyover” country where we still prosecute.

Do shoplifters really have such strong brand loyalties?

That detergent is going to be useless when the Dems outlaw washers and we go back to the days of lye and washboards.

Has anyone tried shooting the obvious shoplifters? You know the ones that enter a store enmass and walk out with thousands of dollars of stuff.
If we started doing that to the obvious shoplifters, the less obvious might understand the parable being taught.
Just an idea whose time may have come.

Close the stores down. Crimes have consequences. Or at least they should. This bull about letting people steal and the rest of us pay in higher prices is getting stupid.

Yep. Defunding the police creates more than just food desserts in the inner cities.

There's a good reason why for decades there were zero large grocery stores within the city limits of Detroit. This isn't anything new.

Ward 8 be da hood. No surprise da homies there be helpin demselves to the five finger discount. I gather this is a problem throughout the DMV. Even here in the Virginia burbs my local Giant closed off one of its two entrances for what I assume were reasons associated with product growing legs and walking out the door. If it's bad enough here in the burbs for them to take such drastic measures I can only imagine how bad it is in da hood. Muriel Bowwowwowser must be really proud of the job she's doing in DC.

This is a fact. I was in a convenience store today and asked the clerk where the rolls were to put in the toaster. She advised customers had to ask for them because if put out they were stolen. and this is NOT in an inner city, but a suburban type neighborhood in upState New York. and they are moving more illegal alien criminals into facilities in this area.

I'm surprised Giant, or anything, is still in that area.

According to the Dems, shoplifting is a right.
Anyone who tries to stop them from stealing is a racist, MAGA loving, low life.
