I was at a Walmart yesterday in upscale Porter Ranch in the San Fernando valley. This is the richest area even more then Beverly Hills.

I noticed that the area where they had the drugstore items like shampoo and lotions and blades, medicines etc was reduced from several aisles with lots of items to less then 20 ft in one aisle with hardly any selection. I guess that is one way to prevent theft....

"De-escalation training for retail employees," and putting kiosks in stores that connect "would-be thieves" to social service.

Thug: "I was all set to walk out of here with a couple thousand dollars worth of merchandise, but instead I think I'll go over to that kiosk and find out what social services may be available to me."

Since I don’t live in New York City, I think this is a great idea.

Will the SS Kiosk person be able to help carry the stolen merchandise to the thief’s car? That could be useful.

I suggest the Muslim method of dealing with theifs.

Remove a finger or hand.

Wait. That would put them on disability.

Ya. Just shoot a few

“De-escalation training for retail employees,”

So it’s the EMPLOYEES fault!?

If I were mayor I would encourage employees and store owners to escalate the situation with bats, clubs, and machetes. When thieves fear their hands getting chopped off they’ll stop.

Because the real problem here is employees and owners objecting to the blatant theft going on.
