Kroger executives are basically inviting 5 finger discounts
If you see someone shoplifting from a Kroger, you have a moral obligation to create a diversion.
Can we use those fingers to punch them instead?
Why not both?
Yes 👍
Which they seem to be keenly aware of, since the self-checkout you're forced to use because there's only ever one staffed register constantly accuses you of theft if you so much as move your bagged groceries. God how I wish I had more grocery options in my area.
They also do literally nothing to stop it. Ask me how I know.
Not saying everyone could just throw on an n95 and stop paying for their groceries, but you really could.
Do you think that they do nothing to stop it in order to prevent perpetrator injuries and/or collateral bystander injuries and the associated lawsuits that could result?
Its to prevent violence in my opinion. Almost noone there is permitted to confront anyone. The loss prevention person assigned to the store rotates, and is only there maybe once every few weeks.
All of that means it takes years for them to case build enough to get police involved, at least in certain areas. Covid also made it normal to disguise yourself, which is far easier to argue against than a full face video, even with their video quality being shit.
They have an kroger message board for employees and you can read what their LP employees talk about there. Kind of odd how all that works.
