Title: Ways Stores combat theft in America
Post by: JOE on July 01, 2024, 07:09:39 PM

...is it that bad where you live Americanos?

Have any of you witnessed incidents of mass thefts?

Canada has a few cities like that but most aren't that bad.

One city not far from where I live is like that.

It's called Surrey

Sweetie, I told you, only in Democrat ran cities. Unfortunately the Democrats control almost all of America's cities.

This is how bad it got in Chicago.

At least the Walgreens near me doesn't suffer from the five finger discount that the shitskins do elsewhere.

The city I lived in back in Canada was not much different. Anything over twenty dollars was behind glass in the downtown core.

Oh it is. The downtown area had rampant open drug use, people sleeping on the streets, and a lot of petty crime like theft.

And, being Canada, nobody was allowed concealed carry.

There are lots of handguns in Canada. But, you are one hundred percent correct about no concealed carry.

One morning driving to work I stopped at my usual Circle K for coffee. Just as I was getting out of the car three guys (looked like illegals) came bursting out the door carrying about 15 cases of beer running like mad and laughing their heads off. They ran off down an alley and disappeared.

The clerk said "Yeah happens all the time" and just kind of shrugged it off.

The Circle K closed up a couple months later and it's a tire store now.

Maybe this will lead to a boom in 3D fake digital displays - aka Holograms. Especially in the States where theft is a problem in major urban centers


You kin see it, put yer hand through it, but can't touch it.

And so maybe they'll have these vending machines where the shopper just presses some buttons, selects what they want and it just spits them out of the chute once it's been paid for.

I could see where one day they'll have aisles of these displays.

A revolution brought about thanks to the Shoplifter.

Awesome!!  Of course it wouldn't surprise me if the ACLU files a suit trying to stop that tech because it is "racist".

The punishment for shoplifting in SG can be a fine, imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years, or both. There will be punishment though.

That's why all those stores are closing in your country L okmeer!

Many of yer fellow 'mericans jes don't wanna pay no mo'

No wonder all the retail stores are shutting down or goin' broke, eh?

But amazon and all the other online retailers are booming.

So because of all this theft the stores would rather sell you online now.

I don't understand that mentality L okmeer.

Even when I didn't have money I never thought about stealing

I'd rather starve for days than steal. I had to go that sometimes when I was young. But I never stole.

I'm sure you remember those times too. I remember when I lived in your country most Americans were generally honest and mass looting wasn't that common. But now it's out of control

Now young kids these days they just steal starving or not. Don't even ask for assistance.

Stealing or shoplifting is like selling a person's soul.

For more serious crimes. However, SG jails are run like military training. They have low recidivism rates.

I actually met a White policeman in California who was beaten up so badly in a Black neighborhood that he was disabled for life.

He was collecting disability quite obviously

They aren't stealing for food, they are stealing for drugs or money to buy a car or weapons or all 3.

I have never seen Canada with as much poverty or as violent as it is now. Your country is in no position to point out violence in other nations anymore. Sweden, same same.

Joe, just for reference take a look at the Canada Day thread. I posted a pic of an incident at a Walmart near here while I was  buying produce yesterday.
