NYC bodegas padlocking their product due to theft. My proposed solution to labor shortage and theft: Vending Machines/Automat. Customers have to buy it to touch it. (archive.ph)

They'll just steal a bolt cutter first. Doesn't even need to be a big one for these thin chains.

Anyway, you get what you vote for.

Most of the time the point is to make it just difficult enough that you hit some other guy's store in preference.

Deterring someone who's determined to steal from your site and has the advantages of knowing what they're going to to, when they're going to do it, is a difficult and expensive process.

When you refuse to lock up blacks, you have to lock everything else up.

It's always amused me that you can instantly know how 'diverse' an area is by taking note of how many things are behind lock and key.

Put the shopkeeper in front of the store and block out the shelves and have the shopkeeper retrieve all the goods for their customers. It’s how it used to be before we were “civilized”

They still do that in many parts of Africa and India.

Stores in cities are eventually all going to be just going in and asking a clerk to get things off of shelves that are protected by three inch thick bulletproof glass. You could easily fix this by enforcing laws and giving the police wide leeway when it comes to apprehending actual criminals.

Yeah, that used to be a thing. People had accounts with stores and delivery vans weren't just for appliances. The sixties fucked a lotta good things up.

Hell, I remember when you could buy a bit of space on a boxcar, and ship stuff on a train. Can't do that any more, unless you want to hire an entire container, which ain't cheap.

Greyhound became a good go-to for that, but now we don't have them any more, either.

People should work in teams, including delivery people.

Christ, I worked in Toronto back in the mid-1980s at a (now defunct) pizza chain store (I was hired for opening day) and our only driver got his car stolen as he left it running while delivering. The cops found it two hours later, on the other end of the city. (I had to run nearby orders on foot. I was the fucking cook. We were all Day 1 hires, the place had only been open a couple of weeks, this was the height of the take-out/delivery only craze.)

When 7-11 was new (early 80s), the overnight clerks in my home city used to work alone. Until a girl clerk got raped, beaten, and run over repeatedly by some scumbag from Detroit. Then they passed a bylaw forcing night clerks to never work alone.
