It should be noted that milk, while it does contain calcium, can leach calcium from the body, negating it's benefits. Other sources are preferable.

We were losing two grand worth of tequila hitting the shelf as soon as they were stocked. Now we are not. We were the last place in the neighborhood without locked up liquor, so we had it coming.

My sister had one of these. She was finally able to silence it by covering it with arcane sigils painted in mail polish and cutting that bitch Bridgette Meghan out of her life.

The dude sounds like he's yawning whenever he sings, I'd assume he has the countenance of a lion that has over indulged in quaaludes.

This is unfortunately true, but the case was stopping one shop lifter getting away with six 50 dollar bottles of tequila while turning away an honest customer that couldn't be ballsed to wait around for customer service to open a cabinet for a 13 dollar bottle of vodka.

You can give one person dignity and lose a dozen sales leaving the shelves open.

You are asking a money hungry corporation to bleed money, which is contrary to everything they believe in.

I'm not standing up for any one here. If I see someone stealing food, I didn't see it.

Bored teenagers, mostly.

I suppose all we can do is flag them as they appear. It's kind of like roaches in your apartment, if you spit one, there's a thousand more in the walls...

They have to brave the isles in person. My position keeps me on the floor most of my shift and I try to be as helpful as possible to customers with questions.

She just needed to smile more, like that guy hanging out in front of the 7-11 suggested.

Where I work we instituted phone controlled locking cases for liquor.

Liquor sales are down 20%, but theft is down so much more. We had gangs of people with backpacks swooping through in shifts sweeping shelves clean and walking out.

Security legally can't do anything but frown at them.

That's the way it is at my store, at least. Half the carts on the floor are picking for Amazon.
