Why Retailers Are Spending Billions On Anti-Theft Technology

Libtard policies? The cost of these things will be paid by the average consumer in the long run and the tax payer

Those numbers were pulled from the air..

Look CNBC defending blacks shoplifting.

🦍🐵🐒

This is only a symptom of corporate geed. This is what they have pushed people to.
Gov s couldn’t spend more mill on education? Where’s the money going? Is there corruption? Are we focusing on the symptom not the cause?

FK the numbers! I go to Walgreens, Nordstrom (now closed), and many other stores in San Francisco, and I witness blatant theft all the time!. People just walking out with merchandise without paying all the time! 100's of drug addicts blatantly steal all over the place, break into small businesses, ruining merchants. So many small business are closing because the addicts have a run of the city. There is no accountability. It is so upsetting.

Maybe you should get rid of the self checkout and hire more people.

Looks like we need another round of crack epidemic on the community of thieves... Leave them so high that cant function... Win for all

Thansk to californians for voting for Leftist/antifa Blm liberals city council local /state officials, DA attorney office for sending criminals free no bail required for making crime legal smash and grab, stealing and assult, drugs,feces on the streets.

Wonder if Bezos has his hand in this somewhere

The CATO guy convinced me, it all must be an one big case of collective delusion

As a customer, I don't mind having to ask for assistance to see a product. I know what's going on and I get the need to secure products.

Youth have not just recently discover the retail stores and have decided to do gang robberies and swarms of people just going in and taking stuff and walking out. This is an organized campaign on social media by who only serious people wanting to hins out who will try to figure out who is enticing the lowest form of human being in the community to participate in these crimes, these individuals don't know they're actually being set up and will be used as new inventory for prisons, which are being built at astronomical rates within the US. So this is organized doesn't come out of no9where. Retail stores didn't just open up last year. Somebody is using social media to organize this type of criminal act

If these companies had been paying a wage worth working for in the first place this would not be as large of a problem as it has become

Start locking them up. Fight back. If no one is going to stop them they will keep doing it.

Progressive leftist CNBC attempts to explain away the epidemic of theft that the Democrats have encouraged and failed to prosecute which is driving up prices for all US citizens, destroying small businesses, having a devastating impact on the profitability of even large retailers, and is endangering the health & safety and job security of retail workers.

A lot of the security guards that are hired won’t put themselves at risk if they see thievery

She can try to say that it’s over inflated all she wants I live in the Bay Area. I see it every day

Make everyone take their mask off before they come in.

These apologists for crime. Wild.

They realize this is happening because prices are already higher rite?😂

Shop on line! CA has many food trucks and street vendors!

Did you say 700 Thousand per One Billion?? Ummm, that is a tiny fraction.

Do now they are going to use this to normalize putting techninndevices that needs remote activation. How do we know that the device wont be breaked later if its been working too long and you should buy a new one. E waste nightmare and regular people wont be allowed to fix it.

so this video is doing everything possible to avoid the obvious conclusion that ghetto blacks who refuse to work are stealing anything that isn't bolted down and sometimes even the things that are bolted down.

Don't believe your lying eyes

Walmart pr person “prices will be hire”. So will the CEO’s pay 🙄😒

Theft is a result of higher prices.

I don’t care what these numbers and graphs say. They can be as misleading and bias as the news. I don’t know where these people live that crime is so low… crime and violence are definitely on the rise here in Chicago.

Violet crime looks much more dramatic than it actually is……until it happens to you.

If that was my store, I would take everything and dump it on the sidewalk. With a sign that says "Your a failed community." Plus, dump some of it on the steps of city hall with a sign. It says " Your a failed government."

Zazur shopping 🛒

Zazur shopping stop 🛑

Old macdonald had a farm Ee I ee i o

If anything the numbers are low. This is what happens when you vote liberal Democrats into office.
VOTE CONSERVATIVE AND THE STEELING WILL BE CUT IN HALF BECAUSE THEY WILL GO TO JAIL.

Its culture.

What is the point again? no one is buying their expensive crap. If they sold their wares there wouldn't be anything to steal.

Let me guess, spend billions to create a Robocop to do what a security guard should do?

Or it can just be retailers fudging the numbers to raise prices... idk, ijs...

American liberty means you need to protect yourself, can't count on the government. 😂

GPS tracking devices should be placed in store display items and hope to get a hit and take down the core people behind thefts.

700,000 in 1 billion? That's .001%

I don't understand why the welfare people are stealing? Everything has always been free for their entire lives anyway? Is it for fun?

Move out of black neighborhoods would solve much of the problems. My local Walmart has none of these problems.

IT'S NOT WORTH IT TO STEAL. 🙏❤

What is a common factor in all of these robberies?

The should hire snipers instead

This is beyond a doubt the worst piece CNBC has done. There’s all sorts of fuzzing the facts.. Retailers know what they’re shrink from items broken and errors in accounting from way back. A basic inventory as described has been done by retailers as long as there has been retailing. They aren’t all lying about loss. Why would you lock up drugstore makeup if it wasn’t disappearing at a rate well over sales? Most people not bother to have it unlocked they go elsewhere. It is crime related. Duh! I think this has to got to be the most slanted stories I have heard. Shop lifting is not violent crime. The mixed bag in this story is the data quoted.

if rich people do not have tax heaven and tons of tax cut, t
if rich people earn they money by profit not stock,
if companies in vary sector are not mono,his would be the true crime.

It just simply lots of crime does not correctly identfy as true crime,
so the theft rise.

$500 dollars of extra cost is a lot, but I wonder how it compares to corporate greed? Let's not forget that these companies were recording record profits while this was going on.
