I think this dude walked by a security guard on his way out. What’s the point of having security? I would just shut down the store and move elsewhere. couple things i don't see in this video. i don't see the guy throwing anything in his backpack...nor is the guy who is filming saying anything to the security guard about what he says he saw. maybe he did see what he claims...but it would be easy to have a buddy walk out of the store with a backpack on and then make a false claim about what was happening. is this guy well known on tik tok? reliable in the past? 2 Link to comment

Thats been the policy every store I've worked where this could potentially be an issue. This guy was trained better. 2 Link to comment

Looking at his Twitter posts, he seems like conservative celebrity. As rare as that is. Soooooo, maybe Jussie Smollett 2.0? Faking it. Link to comment

Lorewarn Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Who would be dumb enough to ever try and stop a robbery? The business has insurance. Don't be a hero. 2 Link to comment

As an employee or customer of a chain store, I would agree. Small business store owner? No. 1 Link to comment

Agreed But the other point is that this is a very popular thing that is going on now. There is no reason to think it will get better before it gets worse. Link to comment

Maybe some of his posts were sarcastic and my sarcasm meter is broken. Well if he is liberal, I am not sure what is gained by faking a robbery and making liberal leaders look bad. Link to comment

At the end of the day merchandise is less important and less costly than employee safety. Violence isn't always the answer despite how cool the militarty might make it seem. Link to comment

There are a lot of videos out there just like this seemingly on a daily basis. It doesn’t change my point that it is becoming bad politically for the mayors of these cities and governors of the states. It’s one thing to have conservative talking heads on right wing media outlets beating the drum. That is expected. It’s another for liberals to start complaining about it and posting videos. Shoplifting always goes on. back in the day it was a person using slight of hand to stuff some items in coat pockets hoping not to get caught on the way out. Now it’s fill a backpack or shopping cart in the open and walk out like you own the place because no one is gonna say anything or arrest you. 2 Link to comment
