San Fran stores closing due to blatant shoplifting.

I don't know what our local Walmart considers acceptable loss %, but one of my granddaughters worked there as a night stocker (which they apparently no longer do) said that the employees are FORBIDDEN from confronting theft, including obvious theft of someone walking out the door with a 50" TV in hand. I see they have LE reserved parking spaces, but I never see any patrol cars there...

Oh, are those LE spots for on-duty only?

IDK. One would think so, but it really doesn't say.... You think they'd "honor" LE with off-duty parking?

Police are always "on-duty"

I watched this play out for years in Washington, DC.

On-duty, I'll park next to the building where I need to. It was busy and I was in a hurry, so I parked there and ran in.

We get to go off-duty, but off-duty doesn't mean we stop being cops, just means I stop getting paid for it.

This is how I've aways seen responding LEOs in the past, parked in front. The reserved parking was a total surprise to me the first time I pulled into that front row empty space and then looked up and read the sign.

I know, just laughing at how hard it can be to "turn it off" at times

Oh, and by the way....Thank you for your service, sir !

If outright theft occurring in big box stores, why aren't they staked out to apprehend these fking thieves?

Or, are they and we just don't hear about it?

Thanks, but it is my pleasure. I love what I do, who I work for (YOU) and who I work with.

Many companies like Walmart, Target ect. do have policies that forbid an employee from confronting a shoplifter or thief. Many times this is more about limiting the companies liability if that shoplifter is injured or hurt. Many times, shoplifters, and thieves, (proven for a fact.) have sued companies even they stole their products, were injured when being stopped, and have sued the stores and won damages.

Sad to say, the company assumes less loss for a few hundred dollars of a big screen TV than paying a lawsuit. And I think the shoplifters and thieves are finding this out, and making use of it.

We do live in some really screwed up times.

She will not be vice president or president, unless you are part of the problem and voting the Biden/Harris ticket!

Trump 2020!

Yea I know what you mean.

Some of you want to get on here and rant about things or say things but get all butthurt when someone challenges your opinions and viewpoints, or asks for sources that back up the opinions you post.

There is a huge difference between an opinion and a factual statement, just as there is between posting a rant about something, and want to have a civil discussion about the topic.
