I thought the joke was garbanzo bean and chickpea since they’re the same thing. Is it really lentil? That’s less clever

honestly pretty clever corporate spin. they are learning more and more people do not give a poo poo about insured merch in a system that let's people starve and go into preventable diabetic comas. so they coopt the language of mental health awareness and claim its not about the property, its about the mental health of their poor traumatized smol bean wage workers crestfallen someone stole that teevee

The bottom of the article is where they stick the fact that the corporation is seeing record profits and exceeding its projections. Anyway, don't mind that, shoplifting is totally a huge thing that employees cry over.

the best part is they couldn't be assed to add an actual human angle by providing a pull quote about a specific incident from an allegedly "traumatized" employee, the article is all sourced to the CEO

The trauma is when your boss yells at you and then fires you for "letting it happen" I assume

Also the whole "the real threat is the roving gangs of organized shoplifters" thing has been a talking point for a while now too, presumably because then you can fill in your own blanks about the motivation and racial makeup of the Big Evil Gang instead of just imagining some sad mother trying to get baby formula or whatever. And I'm sure it has actually happened in some cases, therefore it's a real phenomena that happens everywhere all the time!!

that reminds me there was a shoplifting subreddit at one point where idiots would brag about their hauls from stores, most of which they got away with because the stores really didn't care. except target. the posts about stealing stuff from target always had comments like "you idiot, the cops are probably on their way to your house right now." see, target just recorded everything, crossreferenced the thief car would drive and sent nice reports to local PDs when the threshold for a felony (potentially over multiple trips!) had been crossed so the local detectives and prosecutors had to do almost nothing to get a big conviction. this is just all with a human at the store looking at cameras and writing stuff down!

There was also an fplus ep about that (and the associated tumblrs) that was real good: https://thefpl.us/episode/217 Some of the dumbest motherfuckers in that ep, goddamn.

DR FRASIER KRANG posted:i never got the impression they were armed. just that they swarm a store with dozens of thieves at once so there's no way to apprehend them there's a mention in the article of the thieves carrying guns or knives. frankly i'm just critiquing the presentation of the article, it feels pretty shittily sourced and i would not be surprised if another more substantiative source fundamentally disagreed with it, but I'm not validating its factual nature, just its organization.

I used to manage the electronics dept of a Walmart and it was just a fun game to me to stop the organized thieves. The employees who got their pants in a bunch over theft were the biggest bootlickers ever. A front end cashier had a gun pulled on her and yeah, that's real trauma. A bunch of people running in and grabbing merch off the shelves and running off isn't.

when I worked at Best Buy 20 years ago, 90% of the shrinkage came from employees. they work fill cheap empty refrigerator boxes with expensive stuff, someone would come in and buy a “fridge” and walk out with the goods at one point like 2/3rds the store got fired over it, but not me. my scheme was foolproof

And then they take it out on their line members, browbeating them for "letting it happen" then cut their hours or whatever unofficial "punishments" basically it sucks for the employees because they know they're hosed no matter what happens.
