You Can't Put A Price On Making Shoppers Feel Safe. Oh, Wait, Someone Did
-
Here's a long and interesting story about a topic we've addressed before, how Walmart generates a lot of crime, some on the level of shoplifting, more than you'd think involving violence, and how the company's own actions -- cutting costs to increase profitability but leave stores without adequate security -- contributed to the problem. It's not just the clientele, it's that the lax security and store layouts attract people who figure they can get away with anything. (Bonus fact: The article was co-written by a college classmate of mine I haven't seen in over 30 years... nice job, Dave!) (Bloomberg)
