Why would you post this ?

The staff are indeed trained not to intervene in shoplifting but instead note details and notify mall security.

Bet they aren't allowed to mention the race of the perps.

You had better do some research into what they pack into those tacos.

When will Dick’s rebrand to Gyna’s?

Not in the long run. Any time a business goes woke they inevitably take their eye off the ball.

They just aren’t focused on being a business anymore, they become a virtue signalling enterprise. They probably will carry on for a while because they still have some good employees who know what to do.

Eventually attrition means they no longer have a critical mass of competent employees and managers. And wokery always worsens attrition because good employees get fed up with all the useless virtue signalling even if they are politically aligned.

It happens all the time even when companies aren’t woke: their upper management loses focus and competency. Woke is just a worse form of it because they feel self righteous while going out of business and convince themselves that doing what is necessary to remain viable is morally wrong.

“Dick’s was at the forefront of banning gun sales following the Parkland shooting”

Dick’s anti-gun policy goes back further than Parkland. It goes back to at least the Sandy Hook shooting (2012).
