Shoppers at big box stores in New York and New Jersey are being forced to wait as long as 40 minutes just to buy basic essentials as these major retailers have now locked up many of their products to counter skyrocketing retail theft.
Such delays WILL have a measurable economic impact. People will sometimes not wait, and when they do wait, that is time spent at the store they are not spending elsewhere, which could be at work or running other errands, both of which cost the consumer money.
People will respond by buying more stuff online, even mundane things. Maybe a good time to buy more Amazon stock.
