I read the entire article. I think the violence angle is also being overblown - shoplifters aren’t generally violent.

It's not just about physical violence. The mental aspect needs to be considered also. If the organized thefts are repeated in the identified stores I wouldn't work or shop there.

I absolutely understand - no one want to work in an unsafe environment. But the stores aren’t giving ‘shortage of employees’ as a reason for the closures, so it seems that the employees don’t feel particularly unsafe.

I haven’t seen any figures on store employees being injured or threatened by shoplifters, but I’d like to.
