Okay, I wanted to be sure to leave a long space and be fair so I think I've done that I hope I have I hope everybody's been included So here's your little take-home question. And what that means is I'm going to use it again next week as a first question All right, so your take-home question and the moment Yes, it kind of goes a speech kind of goes with it just because as always I'm inspired by things I hear To ask the questions. So while this is more of a situation We have a store here that we love very much called London Drugs It's almost like your Walgreens or your Shoppers Drug Mart And and those kind of places it's a great drugstore and I like it because it's kind of like a super store right, so they not only sell medication and You know your prescription medication and All those things but they also have gifts gift ideas. It's kind of like a gift shop in a way You could get a box of chocolates you could get flowers even You could get they have everything from I don't know from like earphones to lighters scotch tape Safety pins they have a lot of things you can even get warm food You can even get junk food. There's a lot of things You could get rolling papers cigarette well the disappointment now they're closing and They're closing all their outlets here and they've had a bad run of business in the past few years I'm Absolutely baffled and just kind of crushed on the reason they chose to close I would have thought they would have closed sooner If anyone I think we talked about this right and I think Somebody in here if it wasn't gray it was somebody else helped me look this up. They were hacked Last summer They were involved in a what are they called those days A ransom scheme where Their database was compromised I think by Russia and They were told that I had to pay an incredible sum before that information people's Data is relinquished to them because they had credit cards they had people's Medical history just a bunch of stuff where now without it. They can't run the business so there was a good few weeks in the summer that they were held hostage and they couldn't run their store and they They had temporary help from shoppers and a few shoppers jump mark and a few other stores that sympathize with their plight and Kick them and help them out and they did some online business Okay, so that was in the summer and someone helped me look up some things actually on this net So if you remember who you are, thank you Now what's happening is they're closing throughout British Columbia They're a British Columbia store and they're closing because of shoplifting They're getting a lot of the smash and grabs people coming in and smashing the display cases taking things and Vandalizing stealing and also at nighttime I Because they're not a 24-hour store but nighttime when they're not there they're constantly being invaded People break in make a mess out of the place and there was one time squatters had broken in too and Just making themselves comfortable just kicking the broken glass out of the way and like sleeping on the floor and all the kinds of stuff and So finally they've relented and they've closed so It leads me to a question and this will be a little take home Does shoplifting affect you in your state does it happen? Is it a big impact? I'm kind of I'm kind of freestyling the question so I don't have to like Try to read it and read my writing So basically, is there a problem with shoplifting in your state and have you have you had is there businesses that you've Valued that you love like in my case. It's this one store Have they closed because of it because it's getting to be a huge problem Pretty much everywhere. It's province-wide So, alright, so we're gonna get to the 73 round It's 643 a.m and Let's do this so at the top for your finals we Yeah, we could do this we have gray Bill and garyle Gray bill and garyle over over
