You know you’re shopping in the wrong neighborhood when you grocery store has a security guard.
Pretty much. There is one at a 24-hour store I go to in a suburban area. I guess it’s worth the precaution for the owners. They just built a new building about six months ago and moved across the street.
That was when I knew Eugene, OR had gone, or was rapidly going sh*thole. A security guard outside the Safeway. I heard it was to counter shoplifting by students at the nearby high school. That was late ‘80’s.
