Good for them. Employees get to live another day. It would be stupid to risk your life for some beef.
Facts. Listening to NY1, an employee at CVS got slashed in the hand after trying to stop a shoplifter from stealing $200 worth of merchandise. Sigh. Something has to be done. Or we will all suffer from stores closing. I won't suffer as much because I do 90% of my shopping via Amazon. But it will be tough on people who actually rely on these stores (older folks).
Where’s the beef? Video shows man stealing 10 steaks from NYC Trader Joe’s
The suspect — now wanted by cops — was at the grocery store’s East 14th Street location around 8:30 a.m. when he was caught on footage strolling out the door with 10 packages of meat piled up in his arms.
Two helpless Trader Joe’s staffers had followed the man up an escalator leading to the store’s exit but only stopped him from taking a shopping basket outside – not the meat, the video shows.
He's a troll. It's sad that a mod uses their position to troll but what can you do. Best to ignore.
7th never abuses his mod powers. He doesn't agree with anything I say but he has never used his mod powers negatively. The LI forum on the other hand, the mod is an anti asian fascist and loves deleting every other post I make (Nancy the Nazi).
Could be. Did you happen to notice in the article that many stolen goods are being re-sold to bodegas? I wonder how prolific the shoplifting would be if the bodegas didnt buy the stolen goods.
I do agree Bodegas should be held responsible for buying illegal goods, but this is just food. What about all the other type of merchandise?
But the guy doing the stealing holds all responsibility for the stealing.
OP why are you making a dumb statement like "Staff does NOTHING "? What do you want them to do? I thought you were smarter than that.
I've seen staff at lower class stores stop and get people for lifting their merchandise
I see you're not familiar with the "Wall of Shame" where they stop em, take pictures with whatever the thief attempted to steal, and put em on a wall for all to see
They did NOTHING. let him walk outta the store with steaks in tow
My sources tell me that this happened AGAIN, today at the Downtown Brooklyn location. Said the guy ran up the stairs and bailed. Don't know what the person took, and again, nothing was done
Only reason we're "seeing it now" is because cameras are everywhere (phones, affixed to buildings, etc). Most of you simply didn't realize it due to this fact. Meh.
It is true that camera phones and the increased prevalence of security cameras are making us more aware of things that have been happening for years.
However, the level of brazenness of these types of shoplifters is something that has emerged on a new level since the pandemic had begun.
