Years ago I was in a Barnes & Noble in some slum in one of the outer boroughs in NYC; I was shocked to see an armed guard there (after overcoming the shock that there was a Barnes & Noble there). Newark had its first TD Bank branch open a few years back, and didn’t want to appear unwelcoming so they wouldn’t use the zoo barricades to protect the tellers. It was robbed in short order...
LOL!
Are you Chris Rock?
He'd say something like that. That I won't repeat.
But is true.
Any perps that would steal from a bookstore will automatically be described as having a distinct lack of melanin.
