Comment on At this SF grocery store, you can't leave unless you buy something

Also get the sense that they’ll have more and more and more and more and more security in and around the building as younger people start passing around exploits in the security setup.

Well, I mean, even if the thing has access to a shared PoS DB using properly randomized, sufficiently long and non-sequential transaction tokens, it’s still deliciously susceptible to simple malicious compliance: Find the cheapest single item carried by the store, fill up an entire basket with them sumbitches, line up each item separated by a divider and insist on a receipt for each separate transaction to “prepare for any future need to check if the store carries anything i actually want while maintaining strict compliance with store policies”. Then, head outside and start distributing whatever it is for free to other prospective customers and use that to strike up a conversation about the recent changes. You never know. People might get ideas.

Which means you’re going to have security guards checking receipts, not unlike at Krogers or Costco.
And I’m sure they’re very aggressive with anyone who looks criminally young or tan.

You’ve got security guards at Kroger?

Just about all we’ve got. Like, three store cops for every one clerk.

Here in LA, we have security guards at virtually every store: grocery, liquor, convenience…as well as fast food restaurants.
