i can confirm some do have legit security guards. They most likely are in high shrink areas, like a downtown of a major city, or streets where there other chain stores. One of the high shrink i went to had a security guard there, and also the EMPLOYEES are very weary and is extremely customer service agressive to the point i stopped going there, i legit buy 20-30$ worth of antihistamines everytime time

that is one the major reason people steal, just to feed themselves. After you go for food, you should go for something that will sell as well.

Sometime yelp will have images in the stores, of almost everywhere inside the store.

better off stealing from walmart, walgreens, even target. convenient stores/ gas station owners often are armed because of constant robberies.

that seems to be the case. Since aluminum foil is a faradays cage, and fabrics arnt, unless they are build out of those materials that can theoretically absorb or deflect/reflect radiowaves(im guess a stealth aircraft). unless you somehow can have lead clothing.

kleptomania is a "mental" disorder like depression, its more like an obssessivly thinking about stealing for no reason, but you see no real benefit. people stealing for survival is different, they are doing ti because they cant pay for it any other way.

dont you need a prescription for this?

so he decided to use someone thats not even security/lp for walgreens and shoot him. The fact he drove off, and took the shell casing means he got other crimes he wasnt charged with. i think the guy was itching to shoot the woman.

newly built targets, supertargets have more security especially if its a smaller sized target and not a regular mall or standlaone target. The older ones are much easier to lift at.

definitely better to lift stuff that you can sell easily, and then buy a console, because those consoles are noticable even if you can get past the locked display areas.

I assume you cant steal large amount of things? is your mom going be only in that store? are there stores nearby she shops at? if so, when your mom goes to other stores just go to walmart and start lifting, and if you can ask for the keys to the car so you can sit in it to wait, or put your lifted stuff in.

i had no idea they carry tins, which are more expensive than regular packs.

they mustve have done it before, and practiced it. males are always sussed out so the bait is obvious.

newer targets, have self checkouts, so they will be monitoring self-checks much more intensely than the cashiers area.

give to who? most of the breaches that happen is from hacking.

doesnt dollar general only sell 3 card packs, with no online codes. they dont sell full sets

as you have noticed in police related to crimes, they are rarely punished. They always "investigated themselves and found nothing wrong"

dont try to pay back the store, if you are overwhelmed with guilt its better not to steal again ever.

could be a high shrink item, or that you looked suspicious enough for them wanted to scan your reciepts/items.

price swapping, is basically a type of shoplifting. tis worst because you can get away with much more expensive items, because you wont be able to steal expensive items easily anyways.

selling endangered animal meat.

i assume its your rent that needs to be paid, aside from stealing cash, or someones cc, its pretty difficult to get money in that amount of time.

you wont, unless someone gifted it to you. even if you steal it the police will be looking for it, and it might have a tracking device.

next time, never bring your id with you, and you should give false info to them, of course if police is involved you will have to give info. but if your a minor, its different.

bottom line, it does hurt them to a degree, but usually the company takes the brunt. However they lose more to internal theft, and products going to waste, if never gets sold.
