Retail workers fear for their safety

[LeftofLeft]

How long can this go on? Local jurisdictions don’t have the resources to prosecute shoplifting. Flash mob grab and go is on the rise. What should retailers do?

I would start draconian measures. Incentivize shoppers to do more online (shopping and pickup). Beef up premium security personnel; preferably armed. Let shoppers know that if they choose to enter the store, they are subject to random searches while in the store. If they fail to comply, they will be removed from the store, by force, if necessary.

I have great news for you!

Crime is down this year, and expected to continue in this trend.

REALLY great news, right?

I don't blame them. After watching Jan 6 Trump traitors attack the capital, I would be fearful as well.

Retail crime is down? Assault on retail workers is down? Flash grab and go mob incidents are down? Where is the news that explicitly backs up those trends?

Not on Fox.

Remember; they lie to you so you won't watch something else.

And in other news the chocolate ration has been increased from 30 grams to 25 grams.

Who said I got my information from Fox? I got my information from local news online from places like San Francisco, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Chicago where these incidents are happening. Are those outlets lying?

 

[Jarlaxle]

Obviously.

 

[Catsnmeters]

Who said I got my information from Fox?

Nobody that I saw.

Did you see someone do that?

Did those outlets report that crime is up?

Most people think the U.S. crime rate is rising. They're wrong.

Almost 80 percent of Americans, and 92 percent of Republicans, think crime has gone up. It actually fell in 2023. An expert blames a familiar culprit for the mistaken impression.

Good job Biden

In regards to retail crime specifically, it seems just like with immigration, it started rising under Trump as this link clearly shows.

You seem upset by the fact that crime is down.

Why is that?

But yeah - crime is down.

GREAT news if you ask me.

I wonder if the shoplifting numbers are tied to inflation, which is slowing down considerably.

A decrease in shoplifting would presumably lag.

After watching Jan 6 Trump traitors attack the capital, I would be fearful as well.

And that has what to do with current retail workers?
Dumb ass

I used to scoff at claims of TDS, then there is you proving it is real

What is it compared to 2019?

I proposed a reason as to why retail workers fear for their safety.

It wasn't that complicated.

 

[initforme]

Retail workers need to quit those jobs and find better ones.

Sadly you are probably correct.

Hard not to get drawn into the hyper-partison posting at times.

I probably need to take a break.

Yes, you proposed a completely bullshit reason.
Good job.

There's a simple solution to this, lock up criminals and institute the death penalty for adults using kids to commit crimes.
