Obviously your "trap door" idea can't be taken even remotely seriously. It would be easy for me to request that if you can't come up with even remotely realistic solutions then perhaps you shouldn't even participate, but I'm not "that guy". Everyone knows that basements are all but a few of the major metros are simply not realistic (e.g. slab construction that is so prevalent in many/most areas). Forget having one deep enough to have enough peanuts to prevent injury (foam blocks would be far preferable anyway, peanuts would compact once with a single use and would have to be replaced to be effective).
Let's get real, trap doors are a joke. The real solution would be to have electrified ceiling nets that can quickly drop ON TOP of a perp. The vast majority of commercial/industrial settings have either a drop ceiling or exposed ceilings with plenty of room for such a mechanism. Since they are wired for lighting at a minimum, having the nets electrified would be simple and cost effective. The net prevents them from escaping and disorients them, the electric shock neutralizes them as a threat (e.g. taser).
Next time keep do try to keep your fairy tale "solutions" to yourself while the rest of us continue having serious discussion on real world answers to these complex problems. I apologize if I seem a bit "short", but saving even a single privilegely challenged individuals life I think is worth it.
OK, I'm open to looking at alternatives to shipping peanuts. Don't they have foam balls and such at place like Chuck E Cheese so that kids can fall in and not get hurt?
Many lawsuits are filed without having much of the case. The whole idea is to get a settlement without even going to court.
If stores like this would adopt my idea of having a button-activated trap door, to drop would-be robbers into an underground room, there would be no lawsuits necessary. You could have a locked room with a couple yards worth of of shipping 'peanuts' on the floor so that there would be no injury. Then you just dial 911, and take the police downstairs to collect the perp and take him off to jail.
Yeah, I much prefer the employees solution to the problem instead of some stupid goddamn trap door... only a ****ing idiot would suggest such a thing. That hood rat won’t terrorize anyone else. Employee = Hero.

Bingo. Thugs like this will die young, at work, be it by hero clerk, hero cop, or cellmate.
That's funny stuff, but does not at all disprove my point. In that second video, when Homer's errant golf ball hits the button and activates the trap door, the exec says "that trap door's under renovation--it's not safe." Obviously the button would have been electrically locked out in such a case.

I stand by my trap door idea.
In another thread, you said you would talk them out of crime. So which is it?
