This next laser story is out of the pharmacy files.
Walgreens just came to a big realization.
When you lock stuff up in a store, you don't sell as many of them.
I know it's a great big duh to any customer ever, but Walgreens is the first to admit that locking their cases to deter theft actually costs the company a lot more money than they would have ever lost in shoplifting.
The company reported a net loss of $245 million last year compared to just $39 million a year earlier.
While the problem of theft hasn't gone away, it's a lot smaller compared to them not being able to sell anything behind locked cases.
The company's looking at more creative solutions after the numbers came out, possibly making decoy products or equipping their carts with alarms if you try to leave their store with an unscanned item.
They aren't exactly sure yet.
Until then, they plan on closing about 1,200 stores over the next three years.
This next laser story is out of the Kale Connection.
Here's a snack hack for people with young children.
A new study found they'll eat more vegetables if they think it gives them superpowers.
Yep, researchers spent 20 minutes reading kids' fairy tales that involved magical fruits and vegetables.
Wow, that's so smart.
And the hero in the story was either healed or saved by eating them.
And after the story was done, they offered the kids a choice of four different snacks, fruit, vegetables, cake, or cookies.
Well, it turned out the story made them more likely to choose the healthier food options and leave the cake behind.
Well, plus the veggie superhero study had a lasting effect on it.
80% of those kids were still eating more greens even weeks later.
It just goes to show that everybody should be thinking about going more green.
