#1 How many Walgreens are in the state that do not prosecute shoplifting?

Inquiring minds, you know?

#2 are too close to each other

In my little 'Burg of 60,000 they built 2 Walgreens within a couple miles of each other. One shut down within a year and is still vacant

#3 "too close" About 15 years ago I noticed an explosion of newly built drug stores in my area, it was remarkable then, but none remarked on it. About 3/4 of them have since closed. The expansion seemed senseless at that time.

#4 Ditto the above in pre- and post-K NOLA. Second drugstores (albeit different companies) on certain corners. And for months now at local SoCal K&B... "Dude, where's my Mint Milanos?" Not that they've stocked 'em, or any other cookies, in forever. "Uh, we've got a truck coming in Thursday... you could try back then." Like Gaza! Was amazed recently, kidding a cashier about it, to learn that management had her convinced that Steiner kommt. Sure, who knows?

#5 Don't forget outstanding liabilities -

CVS and Walgreens have tentatively agreed to pay a combined $10 billion to settle lawsuits brought by states and local governments alleging the retailers mishandled prescriptions of opioid painkillers.
