Is there any wonder why Amazon is doing well? Low shoplifting, vandalism, etc. Merchandise is paid before it is shipped.
The new trend is going to be membership stores like Costco.
Amazon is testing traditional stores where a credit card is used for entry. This is a powerful way to stop this stuff.
Correct - and FrankR made the same point.
The "Youths" don't go to Costco.
They swarm the malls.
There was a mall someplace that tried to stop regional buses from accessing it - and a local councilwoman claimed it was "racist" to try and stop the buses. So they allowed the buses to come to the mall, and the place went to hell.
You’re right; in fact, any industry/sector where these mutants could be within 10 feet of you suffer. Look at theaters; anyone over 20 has a better way of seeing movies than this. In the bottom tier of a two- or three-tiered society, the bottom is brutal.
