Major Washington D.C. grocers are targeting rampant shoplifting with measures some shoppers find disconcerting.
Customers at Giant Food, Harris Teeter, and Safeway have noticed new measures implemented by grocers to crack down on retail theft.
Safeway has followed suit. In February, the grocer implemented electronic gates that prevent customers from leaving without a receipt. At the end of February, a Columbia Heights CVS was forced to close after shoplifters rendered the store virtually empty. Many city residents blamed a lack of consequences for shoplifting for creating the problem.systematic failure to prosecute crime, alleging that the United States Attorney’s Office for Washington D.C. failed to prosecute the majority of shoplifters at the 14th St CVS. The USAO had only a 24% prosecution rate in February.
