Yea an 87 year-old great-grandmother with cataracts standing three feet from the door is going to keep someone from bolting out with a cart full of stolen loot. Okay. By the time she reported it (if she even noticed or was able to describe the incident without having a heart attack) the guy would be long gone.

I suppose they deter opportunistic thieves but anyone who's really motivated? They're gonna' get whatever they want just by marching it out the front door. I've seen people do it in Home Depot and other places too - it's impossible to get minimum-wage workers to really give a damn enough to chase after someone.

They don't particularly bother me - a few extra minimum wage workers on the payroll here, creating jobs in America isn't a bad thing. I seriously doubt it drives up prices very much by having them on.

It's sad that so many people work their entire lives and have rich experiences and loads of knowledge and this is the best kind of work we can provide for them in order for them to pay their heating bills and so they don't have to eat cat food. We're a pathetic society.
