Giant Food president says thieves are stealing 'everything' from shrimp to deodorant — and warns some grocery stores could close

Giant Food, a mid-Atlantic grocery chain, could close stores due to theft, President Ira Kress said.

He told WTOP that Giant is also limiting the number of items that customers can buy at self-
checkout.

Several major retailers have closed stores, citing theft and threats to employees' safety.

Another retailer is threatening to close stores due to theft.

This time, it's Giant Food, which operates about 170 stores in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. Giant President Ira Kress told Washington DC radio station WTOP on Monday that thieves are stealing "everything," from shrimp to deodorant, at Giant's stores. In response, the chain has placed more items under lock and key, forcing customers to ask for an employee's help.

I have to believe it has absolutely nothing to do with the illegal alien invasion Brandon has wrought on America.   You know, only a couple million more mouths to feed with no income.

I see a time when people will go to a grocery store and be placed in front of a computer screen with all the various food and other grocery items they want.
They will then select what they want from the computer screen, someone will collect their items and deposit it for them at a pickup place.
Actually, the wife and I already do that with a number of area stores. It's actually quite nice if you're in a hurry and don't have time to walk around the stores.
You place your order on your computer, go to the store, park in a selected place, call a number, and some person eventually comes out with your order and loads it in your car for you.
Occasionally they make a mistake, but overall we are quite satisfied.
Thieves would be out of luck. What would they do?

For some odd reason, they never have to lock up the sunscreen lotion.

Or the work boots at Wal*Mart.

I gotta admit,I like it.

This probably has something to do with  my bad hips and knees that make it hard for me to walk,but I can see how it would save a LOT of time for people with normal physical ability,and time is not only money,it is moments you can spend with your family,or just relaxing.

I've been doing that at Walmart since months before the fake plague.  I haven't been in the store in eons.  They have an App where I select my items and whether or not I'll take substitutions.  Then I pick them up.  They deliver too, but not to my location.

InstaCart does deliver here, so I can get stuff from the Kroger, too.

I am guessing these stores are around DC area (and surrounding states)? Never seen one.
