That's not the issue. I don't trust the stores and what they are doing to address the issue. I've never shoplifted in my life and yet am regularly treated as a shoplifter. At certain stores I have been followed so aggressively that the employee almost ran in to me. The employees they have dealing with the issue aren't trained and go beyond the pale in how they treat shoppers they target.  All of us have heard about these groups who attack stores but how many of us have ever seen them? I've never seen anyone shoplift where I live. I'm not saying it doesn't exist but where I am I think the issue is created by teens and store employees. Any of these stores who don't admit that their employees are a major source of the problem, are liars. 
 
The store's customer service is abysmal. I was at a Lowes recently that must have had some type of all hands on deck meeting because I've never seen so many employees in a store during mid day. There were employees everywhere but when I needed help finding an item, the employees mostly ran if I tried to approach them. I had a lot of items and stood in line in the only register with a checker for a long time. There were people at the self checkouts having problems. I could see groups of employees hanging around and despite the wait and lines, they never opened another register.

It seems as if the stores are determined to be customer unfriendly. There are subreddits and FB pages where people are documenting and sharing their stories of being treated poorly by store staff related to this. Many stores are now randomly asking to review receipts and many store employees do not handle these situations appropriately and it has led to situations in the stores. I'm fed up and am more likely to make a scene.  [/quote]

Oh no you’ll make a scene. We’re all quaking now.[/quote]
