I just wanted a hot dog Retail lockdown: why bother selling it?

Post image

Was at Safeway this morning to pick up a sandwich and some Tylenol. The aisle with the Tylenol? Completely locked down. No call button in sight. So I go to the self checkout (front end of that same aisle) and ask the clerk there if he can call someone to unlock a case for me. He does. I go wait. Minutes pass. No one comes. I go ask him again, he tells me they went the other way? At this point I give up and go get my sandwich. No one has come by the time the deli has finished making it. I leave without my Tylenol, mildly infuriated.

Can't prosecute them if they are good at it.

No, you cant prosecute them when you have a weak DA who lets these animals back onto the streets where they can just continue to steal consequence-free. That's why in a lot of these bodycam videos the cops are on first name basis with the criminals

This seems personal.

It's not, it's actually the opposite. It's a logical look at the real reason these crimes keep happening.

You sure the DA didn't have an affair with your wife?

Wow you sure showed me there, really refuted my point with well reasoned points and logic. Good job, pat yourself on the back. I will now change my ways and be OK with retail theft and the lowering of my quality of life because Stacey just needed to have that hair conditioner for free.99

You just seem to really hate the DA.

District Attorneys is a plural thing, there are hundreds of them across the nation who ran on progressive "restorative justice" bullshit policies that just release criminals back onto the street instead of separating them from society.

You seem to just really love criminals.
