"Dollar Tree adding locked cases, removing items from stores amid rising theft costs"

Don't know why more stores don't do what Costco does. Put (an) employee(s) at the exit door and have customers show their receipt and check to see if it matches the items going out the door in your cart. Costco does it and they have very low shrink. Would certainly seem to more than pay for the cost of the employee and deter theft.

We have an "Executive" membership at Costco. So I pay $120/yr for the privilege of having to wait in (a sometimes very long) line on my way out of Costco to have a person check to see if I haven't stolen anything.

Of course as an Executive" member, I also get 2% back on my total yearly purchases in the form of a check at the end of the year, making the indignity of the experience more palatable.
