@beardalaxy @Terry @beardalaxy 100 years ago you always had to ask the shopkeep to grab everything for you. self serve supermarkets are an invention of modernity
@beardalaxy @MischievousuTomatosu @PapaPole @beardalaxy I imagine your government actually arrests shoplifters.
@Terry @PapaPole @beardalaxy i was a shoplifter many years ago when we had barely any money, and eventually they do, yeah.
@beardalaxy @MischievousuTomatosu @PapaPole @beardalaxy how often do flash mobs of "youths" raid your local bodega and steal everything that isn't bolted down?
@Terry @PapaPole @beardalaxy never happens lol, when robberirs happen its grown men with guns or similar
@Terry @PapaPole @MischievousuTomatosu it's not necessarily the government, a lot of the time these stores literally just never press charges. They just tell people to not come back or they'll get them arrested for trespassing. Even then, a lot of people will still just get booted back outside again unless they're being threatening. That's more what happens at big malls or cities, but in smaller places they'll usually get law enforcement involved regardless. I think it is literally a case of where it happens so often in bigger areas that they can't go after everyone, whereas in smaller towns people are actually respectful more often.
I dont see how these cages are viable. I feel like they started doing the Online pick up thing because the idea will be to make the whole store into more of a warehouse, closed off from the public except for a dedicated pick up area.
@pyrate even gas stations and corner stores have to lock down the entire store. niggers ruin everything.
