Like drug stores locking up toothpaste, your local grocery store might have to start locking up meats and vegetables due to rampant shoplifting.
“People have no fear of coming to your store and stealing,” Nelson Eusebio of the National Supermarket Association.
He also warns that shoplifters are becoming more violent.
“Our employees are terrified,” Eusebio says. “We have young people that come to work, young cashiers who work part-time, these kids are 16-17 years old. They’re traumatized.”
