Manhattan in general is kind of an exception. That was a place that up until fairly recently had been an ongoing meme for Most Crime Ridden Hellhole In America (Central Park specifically. There's a reason why "Don't jog Central Park at night" was a thing)

Now it's been gentrified to hell and back and raising a fist anywhere near Times Square will magically spawn 15 cops like you were in an RPG and stole a loaf of bread

I really liked the use of the Wiimote in Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. You waved it around as a flashlight, sometimes it would behave as the phone you were carrying and you'd get creepy calls through the speaker

Walmart stuff

I used to work in the meat department of a Walmart, one day out of the blue they became convinced that employees were walking out the door with products. So they started checking every employee's bags at the doors (shockingly finding nothing), and eventually just forbade anyone from carrying any sort of bag while on the job, no matter where you stowed it. Meanwhile the head security/store operations guy was arriving in a newly bought BMW and it became a running joke how he was mysteriously pulling in more money than anyone else on the payroll while loudly declaring how he was going to catch us thieves in the act of stealing hot dogs.

Also yeah, the sheer amount of food that got thrown out daily was completely insane

I feel like Safeway has always gouged. When I was a kid it was a running thing "We're not shopping at Safeway, the prices are insane"

Reminds me of working at Walmart years ago, they grew obsessed that employees were stealing things and started checking every worker's bags at the door. Meanwhile the head middle manager was rolling around in a BMW and it was a running joke how he managed to afford the thing
