I mean I understand that retailers increase their sales with built in shrinkage, but nobody is asking for the CQ transactions/expense timings, they are asking current day.

Also, Walmart and others true those expenses up on the regular, so you're also wrong there as well.

At the end of the day all expenses are paid for with total revenue. Revenue has to exceed expenses or you ain't gonna make it long. Again, there are all manner of smart folks coming up with all manner of smart words, phrases and ideas but at the end of the day business is as simple as me providing a service or a product to you at a price you are willing to pay and a price that allows me to eat. You can call it Aunt Sandy if you like, it makes no difference what the words are, the numbers are what they are and your 9 and my 9 are the same 9 and the same as eerybody else's....shoplifting costs consumers, not companies and not retailers.
