[l] Infrastrukturapokalypse: In Manhattan kann man kein Deo mehr kaufen.

Nicht wegen Supply Chain oder Hamsterkäufen. Nein. Wegen organisierter Ladendiebstahlbanden.

Rite Aid, a pharmacy, closed a branch in Hell’s Kitchen in February after losing $200,000 worth of stuff last winter. And last week Target, a big retailer, reported that a rise in “shrink” (to use the industry jargon) had reduced its gross profit margin by $400m so far this year.

Heilige Scheiße, das sind ja überraschend große Mengen, die da rausgetragen werden.

The National Retail Federation says inventory loss, largely driven by theft, cost retailers a record $95bn last year.
