Shouldn’t the free market compensate by hiring more security guards and loss prevention officers?

Nah, margins are already thin on retail stores. If you cant profit or even break even, whats the point?

It’s simply a cost of doing business.

If that business owner can’t figure out how to run their company someone else will.

That's exactly what's happening. They close up shop, and someone else can take the location.

Yeah and the new people either adept to the new market or they go bust as well.
