WALMART GIVING PORTLAND THE FINGER

By Bob Walsh

Walmart will close its last two stores in crime-plagued Portland, Ore., as the city contends with a relentless wave of shoplifting that has hammered retailers.

 

WalMart announced today that they are closing both of their stores in Portland, OR. effective the end of this month.  They cite both fears for employee safety and massive theft loss.  The theft loss is created by the political climate in Portland that essentially makes thievery legal.  

Maybe when people have to drive 50 miles to buy disposable diapers or cheap Chinese-made crap of all sorts they will get their minds right.  But probably not.  Wait until the mainline grocery stores start closing.  That will attract attention.
