CVS in Washington DC Replaces Stock with PIcs of Items as it Battles with out-of-control Theft

[Meatpie]

A CVS pharmacy in Washington DC has been forced to replace almost all its stock with photographs in an attempt to combat rampant shoplifting.

Framed images of items such as toilet paper and kitchen towels stand in place of the real thing, according to pictures shared to X, while customers have to press a button to request staff fetch the products from storage.

'This is how we live in America now?' questioned conservative commentator Joey Mannarino, who shared the images. 'This is the third world!'
