When I worked in a large grocery chain in the 80’s, all male employees were required to chase down and apprehend shoplifters. Someone would call “Freight Check!” on the PA and we would all head for the front of the store prepared to crack heads. How times have changed.
Times have really changed. :(
In the 80’s our company was part owner in a bank.
Somebody tried, unsuccessfully, to rob it. The perp was trying to escape on foot and our bank president ran him down (on foot as well) and kept him pinned down until the cops got there. I loved the bank pres!! Don’t EVEN try to rob that bank. :)
Of course like you said times have changed as have small towns and small town banks.
