They’re getting it good and hard, aren’t they?
“Chill, b–tch, shut your ass up,” one of the thieves can be heard responding.
“We are not supposed to get in the way. You kind of clear path for whatever they’re going to do,” Ferguson told 11Alive.
“And then, after it’s over, you scan a QR code. And that’s that. We’ve been told not to put it in any notes, because that might scare other people. We’re not supposed to call the police, not really supposed to talk about it.”
So why is Luluemon in business?
This sounds unbelievable.
The company has some policy to not call police in case of theft or robbery?
I know they said, they are not to intervene when criminals come in. But the company says they were wrong to call police to report the crime??? Can this be right?
What am I missing??
“...Two Georgia women — including an assistant manager ...” So did they fire two or 3 former employees? 😁👍
Athletic clothing = see through yoga pants
This is nothing new. My first job as a teenager (decades ago) at a fast-food restaurant, on my first day of training, the Manager told me if someone tries to rob the place, just give them whatever they want.
Dead employees are a lot more expensive than stolen merchandise.
I assume that if they can get away with charging $150 for a pair of longjohns, they just build shrinkage into the cost of doing business. This will break when the assistant manager or other employees decide to get confederates to cash in on it instead of outside hoods.
So the management has been getting a payoff somehow and the thieves know it. Follow the money.
“This also includes leaving the store to pursue a guest or gather additional information about the suspected or observed theft,” an excerpt states.”
When policy refers to a thief as a guest, that should have been the first clue.
Like perhaps child trafficking, or illegal drug trafficking would be my guesses off the top of my head.
My wife worked alone in a suburban retail shop, and confronted a couple of shoplifters, who more of less left, looking for an easier mark. I would have felt better if she had ignored them. It wasn’t her money. Needless to say, she has a strong sense of right and wrong, and not nearly enough fear.
The thieves might come back and shoot the employees.
Might failing to report the crime leave the employees open to being charged as some sort of accessories to the crime? I really don’t know.
People don’t realize how precious a high-trust society is, until it is gone.
Woke corporations are realizing it too.
It may be necessary to federally outlaw the sale of an item with say the chain store trademark outside of the chain of stores unless the item is sold for say less than 20% of its original store price.
Certain model numbers [say 100F] or sizes [say 8F] or combination brands [Walgreens(R) TIDE(R)] might be federally barred by being sold by non-authorized sellers.
If retail theft costs $95 billion a year, it is worthwhile to start locking retail thieves up.
Decades ago, NYC created the Stakeout Squad to deal with a surge of armed robberies.
Police would hang out in the back room of a place that had frequently been robbed, waiting for the next robbery.
Then they would blow the robbers away.
It worked, but too many black bodies, so it was disbanded.

The only way this anarchy ends is with security guards hopped up on caffeine sitting behind a mini gun and a license to thrill.
Must be homos running the business.
Good to hear their policy is not to call the police. Likely that has already made the rounds in places that would be interested. The doors are open folks, have at it.
The looters were black
The employees were uppity, law abiding whites
