re: Shoplifting at Academy BR

Yes that’s the ghetto

Hell, men’s underwear is now under lock and key at Walmart so nothing surprises me anymore.

My understanding is these corporate businesses that the minute they shoplifter walks outside the employee can basically do nothing for "liability reasons"

It used to be about their liability for the safety of their employees to not push doing this, then they had to actually punish and even fire employees for doing this to avoid any accusation of actually supporting the actions behind the scenes, then after the summer of love it spread in many areas into not even stopping them inside the store if perps black, and now it’s looked at as normal in some places until the business or location gets shut down.

fricking deodorant is behind the cage at CVS LOL

Probably not in small town Idaho or Nebraska. In Baton Rouge? Not surprising

My luck I walk out with a Shimano, I get shot in the back by a newly untrained employee.

Companies would rather lose the merchandise than have an employee lose their life chasing someone down. I understand it, but at the same time, a little bit more prevention would probably stop 75% of theft. Employees fricking hate it too. They know every item that walks out the door reduces their bonus or odds of a raise.

Both Baton Rouge Academies being located directly in the ghetto (Cortana) or near it (Siegen in front of that Section 8 apartment complex) doesn’t help.

But paying a cop $40/hr to sit out front probably would be much more than what they lose in a year to theft, therefore they pick their poison.

This would slow dramatically if theft was treated as an actual crime by the justice system. Instead it’s dropped entirely by the DA or a judge gives a bullshite sentence.
