    Is shoplifting really skyrocketing? I got a newsfeed from Apple that claims it is.

    I think that this is sensationalism as well as RW corporatist media with a side helping of covert racism.

    Yeah, it’s been pretty thoroughly debunked and some chains were discovered to be closing stores due to lower sales but claiming it was due to shoplifting.
     
    It's what she said.

    a friend of mine worked at lowes. she said they were told not to attempt to stop shoplifters. Just call police and they had cameras for a reason. She said people did always come in at just take off out of the door with stuff.

    But i worked at a grocery store in the 90's and it was a problem then. I knew someone that said they used to get a job at sears during the holidays back in the late 90s/early 2000s so they could steal stuff. she said they would bring it outside like it was for a pickup and no one ever questioned them...

    Yeah, shoplifting always has and always will be a thing. It's a problem, but it's not proportionally any worse than than it's been in the past.

    social media and 24/7 access to news has made it seem worse because you hear about it more, but back in the day, you only really heard about it if it was someone you knew..
