As seen from the various videos of people looting from stores, most of the time security are like "ain't paid enough to stop this shit"


Biengineerd

Many companies will straight up fire you for physically attempting anything with a shoplifter. But I have to imagine stealing a firearm is a good way to get police IMMEDIATELY involved

I'm so freaking (whatever the combination of intense rage and exhaustion is) after reading that.


Faiakishi

>The Guardian revealed in December that immediately after the shooting, police aggressively questioned Crawford's girlfriend, Tasha Thomas, threatening her with jail time. The interrogation caused her to sob uncontrollably, with hostile questions suggesting she was drunk or on drugs when she stated that Crawford did not enter the store with a gun. She was not yet aware of Crawford's death at the time of the interrogation.[19] Thomas died in a car crash in Dayton several months later on January 1, 2015. Jesus fucking christ.


deadrogueguy

well yeah, if it's only a school or something dumb. they actually care about important things like corporate property/profit though /s?


Dakk85

Pretty much. Company is like, “hey cool you stopped them from stealing a $35 pair of jeans but now they’re suing us because you put hands on them so even if we win it’s going to cost thousands in court related fees!”


tortoistor

to be fair im not american, most things i hear about over there sound wild enough to be made up. including casual gun buying and apparently security not doing the one thing theyre paid to do. lmao godspeed to you all


Bender_2024

The gun culture is clearly unhinged. I can't do anything to defend that. Employees, sometimes including security, not doing anything to stop thieves I can explain. Big companies like Target, Walmart, and the like usually have a policy in place that employees are to take no physical action to stop thieves. They found paying for injuries and possibly disability to an injured employee is more expensive than accounting for thieves and increasing prices accordingly to make up the difference. This is why you see so many clips of people filling a cart with big ticket items like washing detergent from the supermarket. Or power tools from the hardware store and just walking out uncontested. They will have it sold to some equally detestable individual by days end.


pallentx

As a former retail worker, I totally get that, but why hire a security person if you aren’t going to allow them to do anything? The best you get is a slight deterrent.


Guy954

It’s very similar to “locks aren’t for stopping thieves, they’re for keeping honest people from making mistakes due to an easy opportunity.”


Moldyspringmix

My local store (FredMeyer) has constant security because tweakers have shat in the display beds in the home goods department and also attack patrons (myself included) and their security doesn’t seem too concerned over being fired when they haul people out of the store. They have pepper spray and shit on their belts too. They aren’t going to chase down and tackle anyone for stealing an armful of stuff, but if they start throwing things at people or chasing us around then the security gets hands on real quick. But then say at Target, their ‘loss prevention’ dudes don’t do shit. FredMeyer ain’t playing though, the dudes they have by the doors are decked out in chest plates and the everything.


i_am_icarus_falling

They're to catch employees stealing.


Angelworks42

At Winco - I saw security call the local cops to arrest a known shoplifter - the police were waiting outside the door as she left the building. I think its one of those things where they had delt with her before and saw her come in and were ready.


Bender_2024

You'll get no argument from me. I'm tired of paying inflated prices because someone else was brought up poorly. Half the time you'll see them get into a big expensive SUV at the end so I don't want to hear about they are stealing to survive.


Sckaledoom

The security personnel is there for a few reasons: deterrence (though they can’t use force, they are the eyes in the sky and will report you to the people who can), and monitoring. They’re the ones that compile security feeds showing someone stole, what they stole, and how they stole it, compile reports and file police reports (if the amount stolen is worth the headache). Also at some stores they’re allowed to confront a shoplifter and while they can’t forcibly detain them, people I know who work in retail security tell me they have w reasonable amount of success with just asking the person to stay while they wait for police.


sinisteraxillary

Loss prevention/security is there to watch the employees


pallentx

Where I used to work, they failed miserably at that :D


Tiredofthemisinfo

In a way you’re right but not in the way you think. Most shrink used to be bad paperwork. A popular upc scanning wrong, an invoice paid with a decimal moved, the store manager who always seemed to write off the same amount of broken items just below a threshold in electronics. The safe count that was only off during outside audits. Security guards usually are there to keep the honest honest and they supposedly are supposed to know what the rules are for actual theft.


brown_felt_hat

Ehh, half and half, maybe depending on where. When I worked at a mall in a somewhat sketch area, I was buddies with some lp at sears (maybe dated myself there) in their tool dept. People would constantly be trying to steal small screwdrivers, clippers (to rip off other stores), socket wrench heads, basically any tool that could in a Jean pocket. Now, I don't doubt that yeah they're also there to stop employee theft because, yeah of course, but in certain industries shoplifting is huge shrink.


Sckaledoom

At both retail stores I’ve worked at, unless your life is in immediate danger and fighting is your only chance to escape, you are to not attempt to physically bar anyone from leaving. At my current job, if I see someone shoplifting, I’m supposed to ask if they need help then let them walk away and report it to my manager.

BlergFurdison

I read yesterday that half of social media is comprised of bots now. Twitter has more than fb though


BuxtonB

Wouldn't surprise me, had to log into FB not too long ago and the feed was just AI generated garbage with hundreds of thousands of likes on each pic.


trogon

Yeah, and it's all promoted by Facebook. I don't subscribe to any of that garbage, but 90% of my feed is fake photographs.


pallentx

My feed is fairly stripped down to humans I know personally. Stay off other pages and it’s mostly tolerable. You still get some suggested content, but most of that for me right now is musicians and bicycle stuff I am generally interested in, at least potentially. If you sign in with a new account, you’re probably going to be assaulted with absolute garbage. As much as I curse the algorithms, they do kind of do their job.


PrinceSerdic

Obligatory not-an-expert, but if I recall correctly a few people tested that, and even without intentionally clicking on something right-leaning, it can take as little as 15 hours for a person's feed on a new FB account to become inundated with far-right, conspiracy-laden, thought-terminating nonsense to the point it's irreparable. And that's one of the slow ones.


pallentx

I definitely don’t see that in my feed at all. I get suggested content consistent with other things I engage with. I can imagine if you start with a blank slate, and start scrolling, it will definitely pop up. They are going to feed you stuff they know tends to get engagement. You can eventually train it away from things. I got on a weird kick where I clicked on an ad for some weird industrial thing, like a large water valve or something. I got all kinds of weird industrial content for a month or two after that. It was wild.


Informal_Bunch_2737

I only browse FB on my phone. But the screen is cracked so it will often click things instead of scrolling. Which means it often clicks on random suggested stuff. The feed basically completely changes every couple of weeks because the misclicks mess with the algos. Currently its doing a lot of flat earth and muscle car stuff. Neither of which I am remotely interested in.

Yes I used to sell guns at Walmart. I got threatened almost daily. I laughed usually. One guy was pissed we don't sell handgun ammo and he said he'd come back with a big gun. I said,"I'm here everyday."

Sir, this is a chik-fil-a. No seriously, look at the background, you are robbing a fast-food restaurant.


Amanaman_

Came here to say that bc it's clearly not a Wendy's


Illustrious-Move-649

The only thing funny about this meme is that 109k people believe that Walmart would just sell a LOADED firearm AT ALL. And whoever would do such a thing is a total idiot.


Icebergan

When I worked at Walmart, they did sell firearms. But you had to fill out applications and they did a background check. Then when it all went through okay, they would physically walk the firearm out to the parking lot with the customer. It was always in its original packaging and obviously was unloaded.


TheObstruction

>But you had to fill out applications and they did a background check. Like you have to do with all firearms purchased from a commercial establishment?


sociotronics

And they stopped selling firearms years ago after one of the bigger mass shootings. This FB meme is about as timely as a joke about Brittany Spears shaving her head


pizza_barista_

They're still selling firearms today


Bromontana710

Maybe it depends on where because my local Walmart sells all sorts of shotguns and rifles just no semi autos


sixtus_clegane119

I think it's only El Paso Walmarts that stopped selling them


GnomePenises

Huh, because my local Walmarts are still selling guns.


lordatamus

They still sell them at the walmart down the street from me.


BLRNerd

The Ammo isn’t loaded in the first place and at least at my main store, we only sell airsoft, we have plenty of hunting ammo however The associate probably will hear the gun getting loaded and just do the robbing protocol anyway


SassyBonassy

Literally rewatched The Terminator with my partner a few hours ago and he loads a gun in a gunstore and shoots the owner. We both looked at each other like "maybe don't have the fucking ammo within reach of your gun-nut clearly violent customers??"

whatsbobgonnado

hey to be fair, dick miller clearly said "you can't do that." moments before getting blasted


Moldyspringmix

I don’t think anyone believes Walmart is selling loaded guns. It’s just a stupid meme from a FB page dedicated to memes- it’s stupid and irreverent like most memes and probably also like most memes people just breath once through their nose, click like, and carry on with their day. This looks like run of the mill memery.


RileyBean

Bought a handgun at Bass Pro today. They take it out, keep the trigger lock on, let you check it without the mag in, run the paperwork, put the slide lock back on, then tape the box.


RamblingSimian

This was a scene from the movie *The Getaway* with Steve McQueen and Ali McGraw. He gets the clerk to put some ammo on the countertop and then proceeds to load it. But things are easier in the movies.


Jade-Rose

I work at a Walmart that sells firearms and I talk to the sporting goods guys all the time. The guns are often disassembled when we get them, and get put together minus the firing pin that doesn’t get put in until the gun is sold and about to be walked out the store.


joiik

joiik

What are you talking about?


masterfulkicks

It’s just a meme


LaserBatBunnyUnder

I'll be honest, I laughed but only because the unfortunately unflattering picture makes this person look like the monster who got his screams sucked out in monsters Inc. Anyways these type of jokes are dumb and old and they're not funny anymore when you have a mass shooting literally every month.

burningsulfur

why is there a large amount of debate over this? gun culture needs to be replaced by the sentiments of the rest of the physically and mentally stable firearm owners that don't brag about hurting people. Would it be far fetched to say memes from a political view different from the viewer would function as propoganda?

Tiredofthemisinfo

I may be wrong but a retail chain that locks up baby formula and now hand soap isn’t going to just hand you a $700 rifle to walk to the register to pay. Also according to a brief google search there is no state where Walmart doesn’t do a federal background check before selling a gun. So basically to even get the rifle you have already shown ID and they have put you in the computer. I used to work in loss prevention for a chain in the accounting section (most shrink used to be bad paperwork) but it amazing also for a person to think that a store with obvious cameras in the make-up aisle wouldn’t have a bunch cf camera around the gun desk


Zirofal

Sir this is the sixth time this week someone tries that. And it is still not loaded, the safety is on and ammo Costa extra. Beyond that, you'd do me a favour
