Aside from the mask debacle......
I know Home Depot and Walmart both have a "No touch, let em go " policy for shoplifting.
A few times a week I see a group of thugs run in the store, then all run out (door warning blaring) with arms full of stuff
If you notice prices climbing steadily at both, you can thank these, "Force the honest guy to pay, and reward the thugs" policies
A little off topic, sorry
Yep. I finally had to order my chainsaw online because ours was always shoplifted out of the decent ones every time I went. That is what the CSR in the department said was happening to them at least.
