they probably already had someone calling them.

all that shit is insured, there's no point in risking someone getting shot just to get a couple hundred bucks worth of stuff

Because its pointless. Hed be gone by the time the cops got there. Walgreens is insured for that stuff. In all he probably only had at best a few hundred dollars or merchandise, if that. They got his face and videos. Itll be reported. The end. Its not worth getting into a fight.

I used to work at a pharmacy store like Walgreens. It was almost always pointless to call the cops for these shoplifters, so at some point we just didnt bother anymore.

Afterwards the supervisor would try to estimate what amount in $$$ was stolen and if it was several hundreds of dollars then theyd be obligated to call & report.

It's not like Walgreens just gets off scott free here because of insurance, they have already shut down 17 stores in San Francisco just because of theft crushing the profits there.

Thats the whole ****ing state, not just SF city. After that passed is when the shoplifting got steadily worse. This is happening throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Its especially happening in SF but also the East Bay.

California passed a proposition years ago that reclassified theft of property with a value under $950 as a misdemeanor. SF has also been defunding their police department and reducing the number of officers recently so... this is what you get. There's not really anything they can do, besides closing down stores.

They're doing the proper thing

it looks like a store employee and security. Now, they're filming, which is indicative of low-IQ and a sad reflection on where we are at in society, but really they should not be intervening or touching the person. they could get stabbed, shot, spat at (HIV), stuck with a needed, etc.

True. East. Midwest, South and West. Their business model sucks. And if their excuse is lower prices, They ain't doing that either.

This is not in the top 1 trillion things affecting anyone's lives or causing anyone problems. Stealing is not good, but far more harmful behaviors are taking place by far more powerful people on a far larger scale as we have multiple topics about a guy in a Walgreens somewhere because it fits a political and cultural agenda for some.

We have the most people in prison of anywhere in the world. Will locking up more people get you any more freedom? Shouldn't you focus on the people allegedly taking your freedom?

Yeah the more criminals in jail means the streets will be safer and the people who take away our freedoms won't be able to use them as an excuse to take away said freedoms. Politicians love to use crime as an excuse to take away freedom.

Literally the duty of security above all else is observe and report. Camera footage is helpful. That's really all they can do if they already called the cops.

The real question is why hire a security guard at all? They arent legally allowed to stop shoplifting with force anyway even though they should be.

if the security guard is just there as security theatre, it would be cheaper to make the security cameras more prominent

Its just to make people sweat and feel uncomfortable with stealing. But some thugs like in the OP would do it regardless because they have no shame at all. And wearing facemasks is the norm so why not if you are already disguised

I'm in Ohio. All theft under 1,000 is a misdemeanor. Many areas won't investigate thefts or property crime under 1k anymore due to lack of funding. So it's a red state problem too.

They're a deterrent. Also, if there are ever any issues like some homeless guy trying to take a nap, they'd be the ones who deal with the trespasser and if they return the security guard would be the one to tell them they're not allowed in.

Also, having someone to keep an eye on this stuff is helpful because as pointed out earlier, tracking what's being stolen and the thief is important. Not all stores have all aisles covered from several directions via cameras.

And there's a few other basic things security does. A basic walkthrough of the store at times you check for issues, etc.
