And it's a great question.

This is illegal, and it is potentially a prosecutable offense because the owner would be defying a legal order.

On the rare occasions when this does occur, we have teams conduct reinspections as soon as possible.

If we find that a product has been broken, we go back in immediately to determine if additional illegal activity has taken place within the location and we reseal the store.
