It’s a CVS, they can decide to close that store if they want and it would be fine for them. The real issue is for small shops or for the employees who have to deal with this kind of bs. I live in SF and I avoid downtown and convenient stores for this exact reason. And Don’t tell me about public transport.

I'm wondering why the employees (especially the one in red) are putting themselves into physical danger over a $100B corporation's cosmetic supplies. Why even get involved? Just get physically away from them and start writing the paperwork. Isn't this what insurance is for?
Years and years ago I worked at a store where the official policy was don't confront shoplifters or try to stop them - they'd rather lose to merchandise than risk someone getting hurt plus it's a liability issue.
The real issue is for the people who need to or would like to live near a pharmacy/convenience store.
