The fact that Walmart generates much more burden than similar competitors, but the same amount of tax revenue, is kind of alarming.<p>This feels like a fairly successful attempt to push private costs onto the public. Of course Walmart doesn&#x27;t deserve to be robbed, but when they create the kind of environment where theft is easy and common, it also doesn&#x27;t feel right for the taxpayer to be on the hook. If they had more employees patrolling aisles or more security, there&#x27;d be less cause for police to get involved. But that would cost Walmart money instead of the city.
