There's not a single quote in the article from anyone who works at Target blaming this on shoplifting.
How many times do these headlines need to be proven false before we finally accept that retailers are not taking these actions because of a "shoplifting crisis"? It's not why Walgreens closed [1], it's not why Whole Foods closed [2] and when the dust settles it won't be why Target did this either.
