for as long as I've been in this country, employees have not been allowed to chase shoplifters.

semp

When I was in high school ('88-'91) one of the best jobs a kid could get was at Publix.  Not just because it was a nice place to work, but because the stock boys/baggers were responsible for apprehending shoplifters.  A code would come over the PA and it was all hands on deck.  Occasionally the shoplifter would fight back giving the employees the green light for an arse whooping.  The cops would arrive, scoop up the shoplifter and everyone would go back to work.

I managed several retail locations on my careee and telling new employees not to chase shoplifters is one of the first things you teach. Your life isn’t worth losing over a t-shirt.

If a job was asking me to chase shoplifters I would tell them go F themselves.

Except that is not why these employees did not act.  Why would they act when shoplifting is essentially legal in these places?  You have a better chance of facing charges for trying to be a good Samaritan than the shoplifter does for stealing.

Something is wrong when stores close because of shoplifting.

Had a CVS here close because of theft. Didnt help things when its right on the border of the "give me free handouts" demographic which were the ones stealing from it

The blue states where crime is not prosecuted but instead protected from punishment along with the criminals themselves. You should know this, you are part of the problem that support it.

I tend to keep an open mind. As you well know there is no shortage of bulls**t out there.

Well, as far as the moon landing goes. I’m of the opinion that yes men landed on the moon but they keep the whole story from us.

Much like everything else.

I watched the 1st manned moon landing live on TV. So did the Soviets. It would have required some real magic to fool their intense scrutiny.
