“Unprecedented Levels” Of Theft In Nation’s Capital Forces Supermarket Chain To Remove Name-Brand Items From Shelves

Zero Hedge | Sept. 5, 2023

Walmart, Target, Kohl’s, Foot Locker, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Dollar Tree, to name a few, have all raised concerns about out-of-control thefts in their stores nationwide. The latest is supermarket chain Giant Food, which warned about “unprecedented levels” of “shrink” – the loss of inventory due to circumstances such as retail theft – at one of its stores in Washington, DC.

NBC Washington said the Giant Food, located at 1535 Alabama Ave SE, has already warned if rampant shoplifting continues, the supermarket will have to close its doors.

The Giant on Alabama Avenue SE is the only full-service supermarket in the area, and if it closes, it will create a food desert in Southeast DC. Instead of closing, it seems the grocery chain has come up with a solution:

In a statement, Giant said it plans to remove national brand health and beauty care items and replace them with private label brands where possible. The new policy aims to reduce “unprecedented levels” of theft and make the store safer for shoppers and employees. 

“None of the tactics we deploy is the ultimate solution to the problem we face, but we continue to invest in efforts that will improve safety for our associates and customers and reduce theft,” part of the statement read. –NBC Washington

Replacing brand name items, such as Tide, Colgate, or Advil, with only private label products is a last-ditch effort to prevent the store from closing.

3 Comments on “Unprecedented Levels” Of Theft In Nation’s Capital Forces Supermarket Chain To Remove Name-Brand Items From Shelves

  1. The rising levels of theft in major retail chains across the nation, including Giant Food, are undoubtedly a cause for concern. It’s unfortunate that the actions of a few individuals are impacting not only the businesses but also the communities they serve. Giant Food’s decision to replace name-brand health and beauty care items with private label brands is a practical step towards addressing this issue. While it may not be the ultimate solution, it shows the commitment of the supermarket chain to improving safety for both customers and employees. In the long run, it’s crucial for both businesses and local authorities to work together to find comprehensive solutions that not only deter theft but also address the underlying causes of such behavior.

  2. 99% of all shop-lifting-gangs are nigs. They are used by the j00s to destroy jewmurka. Time for the major brands to smarten up; drop their masters ass into the sewer and get real.

  3. I think the focus on race and ethnicity in the discourse on these issues is very unfortunate. Not only is it not actually race based (black Americans didn’t ghettoize themselves nor do they agitate themselves) it’s also very counter productive.

    I believe victimhood complex, racial agitation, (Globalist) drugs and poverty is to blame and not race or creed. I also think 5g has a part in it, as research has shown such powerful and high frequency EMF can affect our minds and bodies. It’s similar to what happened in Rwanda only (thus far) not nearly as violent. In Rwanda one demographic was agitated against another and then suddenly vicously slaughtered hundreds of thousands of them. Leaks have shown this to be the result of a US military operation and that the weapon used was powerful radio technology turning the anger they stirred up into murderous, uncontrollable rage. 5G also uses a frequency band near frequencies which render oxygen unusable to humans and animals. This tech is a powerful weapon disguised as a system for communication.

    I find if you steer clear of contentious and divisive issues like race, immigration and the high degree of Jewishness among the Globalist oligarchy people in general are much more receptive, interested and even supportive when presented with truths about the Globalist oligarchy/crime syndicate and their crimes against humanity.

    One example I observed which shows this is that I one day noticed an anti-Globalist group had pinned a poster to a pinboard at the entrance where a relative of mine lives. The poster plainly and eloquently broke down the true nature and workings of the central banking system This building also houses a social services office which, of course, is leftist central. I assumed this be torn down post haste as, I figured, it would agitate social services people who saw it. Instead it remained there, untouched, for months.

    We’re all in this together, any division only serves to protect the Globalists.
