Walgreens CEO Tim Wentworth told investors recently that locking up the store’s merchandise to deterred shoplifters has also harmed sales.
The company reported an operating loss of $245 million for the first quarter, compared to a $39 million loss the year before. The revenue loss has forced the company to close hundreds of stores by the end of the year.

Wentworth said the company was looking into creative ways to combat the rise in retail theft, which has contributed to the company’s decrease in revenue, but that locking things up has not been effective, per CBS News.
“When you lock things up … you don’t sell as many of them. We’ve kind of proven that pretty conclusively,” Wentworth said. “I don’t have anything magnificent to share with you today. It is a hand-to-hand combat battle still, unfortunately.”
Other companies have also resorted to locking things behind plastic or glass walls to limit shoplifters. But locking things up has derailed impatient paying customers who do not want to wait for an employee to unlock the display. […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
