Here’s a security guard at a Walgreens and he’s geared up and ready for battle. I don’t know if he’s a real security guard or not, but if so, then I wouldn’t be stealing in his store! A story published in 2023 talked about the most shoplifted Walgreens and it said this:
One of the most shoplifted stores in the country is the Walgreens at 5280 Geary Blvd. in San Francisco. CNN recently did a clip on it, claiming its crew saw three shoplifting attempts in 30 minutes. The store told the news station that of all the Walgreens, it has the highest theft rate in the country. The local San Francisco Standard corroborated claims that Bay Area locations have it the worst. Analysis of local police department data reveals that the 2690 Mission St. and the 3398 Mission St. outlets had the most reports of theft to local police. But this is what’s reported, and it’s probably safe to assume that far more incidents go unreported.
