“Not true. IF these stores can afford these losses, then they can afford to put security measures in place, like locking down the store while these hoodlums go about their “business”, which means they’d have to put in smash-proof glass so these feral animals can’t get out - that should hold them until the police arrive.”
Unless I am mistaken, I don’t believe they can be prosecuted for shoplifting until they physically leave the store. It’s time to resurrect “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.” Loss control at the door - we have “security” issues in our store; you are not allowed in at this time - when they come in a pack.
Unfortunately, that will force the price of your goods up again.
“Loss control at the door - we have security issues in our store; you are not allowed in at this time - when they come in a pack.”
Any lawyer reading this response is licking his chops. Especially those related to eric “his people” holder.
