What has happened to Americans' mindsets where they feel entitled and emboldened to pull this kind of crap off?  Do we still have a civilized society anymore, or are we descending further and further into anarchy where it is take all as much as you want, whenever you want.  Retail crime is so out of control in this country, and it has real consequences, because stores just get fed up and leave or close. Many vulnerable populations are then shutoff from access to necessities.  The idea that we should not be going after and prosecuting retail crimes is a huge mistake.[/quote]

Yep. Our Wegmans eliminated their program where you checked yourself out with the scanners (I forget the name) due to theft. This is in a high SES, pretty low crime overall, area so people have the money to pay for things. It's revolting.[/quote]

I used and liked the Wegmans scanner program in Fairfax and was disappointed when it went away. But the Giant near me still has a handheld scanner program and has for many years. I wonder why it was a problem for Wegmans but isn't for Giant? I was surprised because, as you said, this is a high SES/low crime area. [/quote]
