It’s about shoplifting. Ralphs needs to admit it.

@omarmoran3097 Ай бұрын

Might as well lock up everything and you better have employees openning the door for you

@bombaybeach208 Ай бұрын

It has EVERYTHING to do with crime. All the high theft items are inside that area. There's no need for a "store within a store"..thats such BS. Come on.

“Store within a store” 😂😂 is there a reason why your “store within a store” has a metal barricade? 😂

We’ve had this at our Ralph’s in Alhambra for about a year but interestingly enough they also suddenly had a security trailer with lights and cameras prior to and during the installation of this section and sudden removal of it upon completion of the project. Additionally they rearranged the entire store and eliminated many higher priced items.

Just make sure it is under 950.... Ca approves this amount.

OF COURSE it’s because of SHOPLIFTING!!! Give me a break!!!

Gemco was a store within a store and went bankrupt. This concept is due to shoplifting period!

@slyley5 Ай бұрын

especially for that West Hills/Fallbrook Ralph's store also did the plexiglass barriers in their pharmacy section

Just get rid of retail shops and make everything online 👌

Stop stealing

I call bovine excrement on this. All grocery stores have spent millions of dollars on how to make their floor plan extremely convenient for customers so they can put more in their cart. This partition does the complete opposite it requires a customer to stop and engage and wait, which is something that every grocery store does not want a customer to do because if customers don't feel comfortable engaging with someone else,they will most likely not by the product unless it's absolutely necessary.

It's crime. The isle they did it to in hawthorne is the medicine isle lol. Duh

It’s still there to prevent theft. A decade ago it wasn’t so bad but still it’s their to prevent shoplifting

California has the 12th lowest threshold for theft before it becomes a felony at $950. Texas and Wisconsin are at $2500 before it's a felony. In Colorado, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina, a person can steal up to $2000 worth of merchandise before it's a felony. 33 other states after that, a person can steal between $1500 and $1000 dollars before it's a felony... California and Florida are just the couple of states that the news bothers to pick on. Let's get some perspective before we jump on only two states.

@kevinjogoo8730 Ай бұрын

You left out the part where those other states actually prosecute misdemeanor theft. Let’s get some perspective before we jump on only 38 states

Making excuses and obtusely and seemingly willfully blind to the reality of what is happening before your very eyes is difficult to comprehend for most people. Please enlighten those of us who don't understand what you hope to achieve by discouraging others from observing the reality of what is happening to our country and society in general? What is there to gain by listing the dollar amounts that constitute felony charges state by state, while totally ignoring the other much larger and more consequential factors that affect what is happening and the changes that have resulted. Should nothing be done? Should California be celebrated as a perfectly governed state with no concern of rapid rising crime rates? Just pretend that things are going great and if questioned just arbitrarily mention specific codes of conduct within other states?

@jennybugsification13 Ай бұрын

@kevinjogoo8730 dude, you're in Africa.. not even the same continent. The things America says about your whole continent make California look like Eden 😅. The prosecution rate for misdemeanors in California is higher than 38 other states in America. Yes, get some perspective.

i have been shopping at Ralphs for 28 years and I never seen that "concept for nearly a decade"... till recently when crime went up with Newsom and Gascon's ideas about letting criminals do whatever they want

@streetlegalsprintcar Ай бұрын

Can I just hang out in there for a few hours? Looks really safe in there. Probably smells good in there too. I won't bother anyone. ❤

I've seen these at several Ralphs locations. West Hills (Fallbrook and Victory), Woodland Hills (Ventura and Winetka), Sherman Oaks(Burbank and Van Nuys), and others.

@micheleboyle3547 Ай бұрын

They are doing that to Ralphs in West Hollywood….honestly I feel it’s to only have to lock up one whole area instead of different places that would need to be locked up…some isles have locked cages in with items that aren’t locked up….and this particular Ralphs is small and now even feels smaller….I will check it out once it is all set and it will be nice to see that area cleaned and stocked…..😊and the items aren’t in cages ….just a big locked in cell….

Someone needs to re-invent the grocery store, nobody allowed inside, several employees pull customer orders, you come later and they bring the cart out to your car.

Late. They did this to the Ralph's in hawthorne on 118th at and Hawthorne blvd long time ago

Wow, only those that's easily fooled will buy into the store in a store concept. Why would you waste money to retrofit the stores to reduce sales?

@Beltfedshooters Ай бұрын

Do it like a pawn shop where you have to be buzzed in through locked doors so shoplifters cannot run out the store.

BS. I’ve only shopped at Ralph’s for the last twenty plus years since that’s all that’s near me. Three different ones. None, NONE have this. Their media and public relations department playing safe with the truth or the avoidance of it.
