Yeah, it's called shrinkage and it's built into the profit model of all brick and mortar stores. Every store has some degree of theft, and while it increased for a short time during the middle of the pandemic, its since tapered off to normal levels.

If you read the article I posted, its clear that the rate of theft is exaggerated overall in California, especially by the commentors chosen example, Walgreens.

I'm sorry to hear about your personal experience with Vons, but it also sounds like your manager had anger issues and was part of the problem.

When I'm working 12 hours a week and seeing 3-5 thefts, plus violence, every week, it's more than just "shrinkage." I can't speak for all of CA, but that was my experience.
