Mr. Nemo posted:Were you looking for the poo poo that didn't happen thread? Platystemon posted:It’s illustrative of the though processes of rentacops. Also a sudden uptick 'up to six figures' worth of theft right during a week-long unpaid vacation is treated to a begging phone call or two and not outright dismissal of Loss Prevention and restaffing them with an outside party on a permanent basis. Or a possible police investigation since the storyteller smugly lies about his location during this time. "So sir, why are you not 'eight hours away' but still at home?" It's amusing but the reality is if they were going to save money they wouldn't even bother with a week-long vacation, they would just fire them all outright and bring in a private security force that may or may not be there all the time.

I worked for a regional electronics chain for several years that didn't gently caress around when it came to shoplifters. They had about 6 guys and they detained everyone who left the store with merchandise, even following them to their cars sometimes. Anything over $600 was charged with a felony. Our biggest demographic was old guys stealing porn DVDs. For some Schadenfreude content: one of our LP officers got fired for taking opened DVDs recovered from shoplifters, using the company computer to copy them using pirated DVD copying software and then burning them onto new DVDs. One of the delivery guys also got fired for selling the old appliances they picked up from deliveries to an appliance shop.

That reminds me of my first date with my wife of 18 years. I was a freshman and she was a junior at our college. I was a total dork, but even dorks can power through and use D&D to pick up a cute gal and marry them.

Lemon posted:I have no idea what this means. Western Europe in general has a reputation for treating prisoners like human beings and regarding prisons as a place to rehabilitate criminals before returning them to society. The US has a reputation for treating prisoners like dangerous animals and/or slave labour and regarding prisons as a place to pen and torture them. Per is saying that the UK is a lot more like the US than it is like, say, Norway when it comes to prisons.

Dragon Age 2 is exactly the kind of quality game that Bioware's fanbase deserves. Hell, they loving threatened to hunt down one of their former writer's children on their way to school and kill them, Dragon Age 2 may be too good for them.

Dragon Age 2 is literally just so well-written that most gamers reject it because it's too successful in deflating the power fantasies that are inherent in the genre.

Your Gay Uncle posted:Why on Earth would a Gryphon need a gun? Look at his puny wings. No way they are big enough to lift that much meat, so he can't actually fly. Unless he has super light bird bones, in which case any human can pretty much break his wrists at will with their meaty monkey paws. If he can fly he's fragile as gently caress, but he probably can't fly. The claws on his hands look pretty dangerous, but since he is capable of using tools like a monkey, they clearly have human musculature not raptor or lion musculature, and won't be that great in a fight -- more like brass knuckles than claws. He needs the gun. He has to protect himself from all the people who want to harvest his body parts for magical components or trophies. The six shooter is a pretty dumb choice though. It's going to take him forever to reload that thing with his ridiculous fingers.

They'd always say I needed to greet the customers more often to prevent this deplorable behavior. LOL, I'm the only minority in town and even if I beeline straight for the item I need I can't make it through Walmart without 4-6 people asking me if I'm finding everything okay. Some of them are practically running after me to "help" me. I've never heard of loss prevention being able to detain people and not just get an assault charge out of it.

Yes, that's correct. They can apprehend you to prevent you from fleeing the scene or disposing of evidence, but only a cop can perform a search. The one exception is if they have reason to suspect you may have a weapon, in which case they are allowed to search for the weapon. I'm in California, but I wouldn't be surprised if this standard applies to most states in the US.

Gorilla Salad posted:This is the sort of business logic I've never understood but have seen far too many times in my life. I'll give them time over mine with retail management (I had maybe 5 years), but the way we handled shrink at our location was by cutting petty spending and trying to schedule more hours on "greeting clients." That means just a random employee standing at the front of the store greeting people. Obviously this cut down theft by 10000% because it worked in a control store in the suburbs for two weeks. Honestly, we looked at theft as a joke in my old store. We weren't allowed to actively stop it, and we weren't allowed to staff against it. The best part was when our CEO visited Chicago and decided to swing in to our branch downtown and got greeted by one person with absolutely no one else even remotely around and then asked me why we had no one staffed at our "flag ship branch" and I got to say that we only had 30 hours of coverage slated for that day and I was taking up 15 of them. No response to that one, but I sure got an earful the next week.
