Even if their claim of “organized theft” is true, that itself would be a self-correcting market force. Your price point should exist somewhere between the extreme of “lock it up so tight nobody can buy it” and “it’s cheaper for people to shoplift it en masse”. If you can’t manage that, maybe you deserve to go out of business (also I think you’ll find that it would also help to increase the number of staff to actually unlock the damn shelves). Perhaps in the long run the market will self correct, but this is absolutely idiotic right now. And the real consequences for people that have lost their local pharmacy are catastrophic.
Those are not two extremes of a “price point”, you describe two scenarios on the high end with no sweet spot in between. Good job confusing me trying to read your sentence correctly :p
I was hoping nobody would notice, I saw that myself as I was thinking through my argument. You’d forgive a friend for putting rhetorical flourishes before pure logic - just this once, wouldn’t you? 😅

It wasn’t true. It was used to disguise crumbling profits as American shopping habits changed out of necessity.
that’s my understanding as well
Even worse, it was all orchestrated by a middle aged white couple

I learned this from the “Black Market” episode of Battlestar Galactica
