what's the incentive to make this shit up instead of just saying "we're closing this store, fuck you"
To give the news media more "crime bad" stories for scaring white suburban boomers.
It costs nothing to lie, maybe they get more police presence or inspire customers to rat on one another.
Scratched libs. What better way to
than to have pride merch one day and alienate a whole bunch of folks, and then win the "ordinary American" right back with crocodile tears over theft. So they get both the mainstream and the alternative subcultures as consumer bases for different reasons.
Bad news makes line go down
The article mentions they were simultaneously lobbying for a harsher retail theft law
Don't spook the investors and get to lobby cities to give you more free cops at your other stores.
