Giant Food is taking extreme measures to ensure safety and security as theft and violent crime continue to plague retailers. The new measures include restricting location entrance points and moving fewer high-value items onto its shelves.
Giant operates roughly 165 supermarket locations on the East Coast and has installed new measures, including restricting location entrance points, limiting self-checkout items, bolstering in-store security, and moving fewer high-value items onto its shelves, according to a report.Razor blades have also been placed in holders that alert staff with a sound when opened, the report noted.
Kress recognized these new measures may burden law-abiding customers, but he hopes they will allow Giant locations to remain open as retailers close across the country. Nordstrom, Walgreens, and Whole Foods have all fallen victim to rising crime and retail theft and closed their doors in major cities, the report noted."We used to chase shoplifters," Kress said."And you'd get the product back, and nobody would ever fight you."In San Francisco, one Whole Foods reported more than 500 calls to emergency officials before closing its doors.
When faced with these criminals, employees were told they were prohibited from confronting them, the report noted.
