    The way I see it, you’re doing a public service…

    • You’re creating jobs in loss prevention.

    • You’re helping make the case for retaining more checkout workers.

    • You’re keeping those minimum-wage checkout supervisors safe by not putting them in a position to intervene with desperate people trying to feed themselves.

    • You’re helping the store avoid wage theft by having you play unpaid, untrained, unqualified security guard.

    • You’re helping the needy feed themselves.

    Give yourself a pat on the back, you local hero! 🫡
