- When reported as a percentage of sales as is commonly done, average annual shrink increased to 1.57%, up from 1.44% in 2021. - colin Sep 26, 12:39 1
  - a lot of words to say they're full of shit. almost 60% of shrink is damaged goods, not theft. -- nm - colin Sep 26, 12:40
- I believe that was the first Target in Manhattan. There are now 13 Targets in Manhattan - ty97 Sep 26, 12:17 5

  - Crazies will make their own ammo (not sure how that's taxed?), but at least it's a start. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 26, 11:58 2
    - Don't think true gun enthusiasts are the mass shooter types, have hardly shot before, that's why so many of them get jammed -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 26, 12:57

      - The King's Man -- nm - Beryllium Sep 26, 12:09 1
        
        What I mean is, if you do a period Bond film, you end up with something like The King's Man. - Beryllium Sep 26, 12:14
      - i don't need it to hit all the same classic tropes as Connery/Moore but just make it fun again -- nm - hollywood big shot Sep 26, 12:04 8
        
        I'm hoping that's what we'll get (and it's probably behind the "return to the formula" people), though less hopeful if it's Nolan -- nm - Roger More Sep 26, 12:10
