Hy-Vee’s buffet is wonderful.

Wonder how much they are paying these team members? Is it enough to go to prison if they dare to detain a suspect?

And when it’s all said and done, the consumer will end up paying for this added cost.

That should help reduce the cost of food. /s

Another example of the ripple effect that Democrat lawlessness has on the cost of things for poor people.

Better off using German shepherds.

So this article says the increase in thefts is due to covid and not bail reform, etc.
And it also fails to mention which 8 states.

There is a small family owned grocery store I loved to shop at - their meats are so fresh and incredibly reasonably priced. Recently, I drove there - it is about 15 miles away - to pick up some filet mignons and was told they stopped selling them.

The ‘amish’ are stealing the fresh meats and have special clothes so that the meats are hidden through their jackets and all the way down their pant legs. They are leaving with hundreds of dollars of meat each trip and the store is helpless as if they stop them, they risk injury to themselves or to the criminals - who will most certainly sue.

My Kroger has one every time I walk in.
I don’t know about when I walk out.

The criminal element tend to be overly frightened and wary of canines. So I think having German shepherds stationed at the exits in the stores is an excellent idea as they would help discourage potential burglars. Almost nobody with a couple of T-bone steaks shoved up their shirt is going to dare to get past a menacing looking German shepherd.

Also, any dog owner will tell you that canines have a knack for identifying bad people. If my dog does not like a particular person, then I become suspicious of that person as well.

I’d imagine they can use citizens arrest to detain (and be covered by the law).

This is an absolute indication of “Thirdworldism”...

Even when we give them “free food” via public assistance they steal more...

The permanent unassimilated underclass guarantees segregation forever - as well as “food deserts”, “IQ deserts”, etc....

Judging by the prices at their stores, customers have already been paying for the extra overhead.

more than 280 locations in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and soon Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama

They have stores across eight states. Doesn’t mean guards in all eight. Pretty much any big city locations in certain states would be my guess. MN, WI &IL would be the hot spots.

Gives new meaning to “rump roast”.

You are correct, German Shepherds would deter most theft in the areas in question.

BTW, increase in theft has nothing to do with the “pandemic,” as stated in the article, unless they refer to the pandemic of lawlessness.

Armed security isn't going to help in California where shoplifting less than $950 of merchandise is a misdemeanor.

These stores will need to go to the Costco model where only members are allowed in. If a member gets caught stealing, their account is billed and their membership is revoked. If they show up again, they're trespassing.

Put theft protective labels on the meat in the store, then if someone leaves with the product not paid for the doors lock and law enforcement is summoned.
