Lots of stores around here have told the employees not to go after shoplifters - not worth getting hurt is the official word, but I suspect lawsuit is the real reason.
So, professional shoplifters know they can get free merch, but now they want cash instead. Ergo, the bold ones don't even want to go through the hassle/ritual of leaving the store and coming back in to get their refund.
And this is why a 3# block of medium cheddar is 9 bucks on sale at the local Fred Meyers.
Another example of the 99% being required to accommodate the 1% in our brave new world.
Get off my lawn.
