The #Walgreens on Central and Osborn in Phoenix has four several years employed playing Toccata and Fugue in D Minor very loudly on their loudspeakers to drive away the unhoused.

Today I note that they’ve switched to a piece I don’t recognize; however, it is a very fast-paced and shrill violin solo. I think this might work. It’s a bit like a swarm of mosquitoes.

On the plus side, local #walgreens has no drive up window.

On the negative side, there's a 4-hour line standing in the store.

Walgreens, I could solve all your problems in 1 minute: Pay a living wage, staff up, and profit.

I hate to use #walgreens in support of their “understaffing as a business model” but it’s easy bicycling distance from home.

Remember, “vote with your wallet” concedes the race to the biggest wallet.

qwant news | El proyecto de ley de Titus combatiría la ola de delitos en el comercio minorista

Federal Representative Dina Titus, a Nevada Democrat, was inspired to introduce the Retail Crime Organized Crime Act after witnessing a shoplifting spree at a Las Vegas Walgreens, where a man stole an entire stock of false‑eyelash extensions and fled. The bill would broaden federal jurisdiction over retail‑theft‑related offenses, allowing prosecutors to bring charges based on the total value of goods stolen over a twelve‑month period and covering interstate transportation, sale, receipt, or theft of stolen shipments. It also expands anti‑money‑laundering statutes to include prepaid general‑use cards, gift certificates, and store‑gift cards, and would create a dedicated hub within the Department of Homeland Security to coordinate federal law‑enforcement efforts against organized retail crime.

Nevada, home to a massive logistics network, is especially vulnerable: Las Vegas ranks sixth among U.S. cities for retail‑crime losses, with Nevada businesses suffering more than $466 million in 2021. The state’s freight system moved roughly 150 million tons of cargo worth $164 billion in 2022, and recent raids on rail lines in the Mojave desert have resulted in thefts of Nike sneakers, Apple products, and AMD chips totaling several million dollars. The legislation, co‑sponsored in the Senate by fellow Nevada Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto, seeks to protect the state’s role as a national logistics hub and send a clear message that organized thieves will no longer be allowed to undermine supply chains or inflate everyday prices.

The bill’s relevance is underscored by small‑business owners like Juanny Romero of Mothership Coffee Roasters, which operates seven cafés in Las Vegas. While her shipments have not been directly targeted, Romero reports a rise in “friendly fraud” and faces steep cost pressures: tourism has dropped 40 %, coffee import costs have surged 160 % at one point, and tariffs—though later lifted—have created lingering uncertainty. By backing Titus’s legislation, local entrepreneurs hope for a robust, nationwide solution that goes beyond patchwork local measures, safeguarding both Nevada’s economy and consumers across the United States.
