Absolutely yes they're guarding food with legal force
legal force of... calling the actual police? they have no power
Typo, meant lethal. They carry guns.
Do they really? At costco it's just like some middle aged lady checking receipts
Yes? Local grocery stores in downtown areas employ rent a cops with guns or off duty police? And I live in a downtown area so I'm telling you with first-hand knowledge these fuckers carry guns
The one I go to has rent a cops with body armor and a pistol. Probably cuffs and a tazer too but I haven't looked too hard
oh, well they're definitely not supposed to be shooting shoplifters.
Yeah they're not supposed to and honestly I haven't seen anything happen. But they have guns
