Moron CEO

Might as well. The CEO has put out the welcome mat and announced all merchandise is free. But wait until he has to restock his shelves and his cash register is empty. Then there's no money to pay him so then he might announce a new policy -- LOL

 

I bet that will be enough money to pay his golden parachute when he walks out the door. I don't have much use for these incompetent big bosses who get paid a fortune for failing.

 

Like our DC politicians.

 

Another moron . . .

If California isn’t already the nation’s shoplifting leader, it soon will be if State Senator Dave Cortese’s SB 553 becomes law, according to some retailers. The bill just passed the state Senate and now moves over to the Assembly.

Ostensibly aimed at curbing workplace violence — a nice way of saying “criminals who come in to steal stuff and create the conditions for violence” — California Retailers Association chief Rachel Michelin described the bill in harsh terms. “It says no employee can approach someone who is shoplifting. So even if someone is trained on how to deter someone from doing that, now they’re not allowed to approach someone. So, what does that mean?”

“We are opening up the door to allow people to walk into stores, steal and walk out,” she said.

Cortese, a Democrat, says that “We don’t want rank-and-file employees to be forced to place themselves in harm’s way,” something that Michelin says employers aren’t doing anyway.

What SB 553 looks like to me is more virtue signaling, enshrined into law, that California now turns a blind eye to shoplifting. That’s certainly the way criminals will read it.

 

I guess the future for California retailing will be ordering everything for home delivery. There will be few retail stores in California. If there are any, everything would be in locked plastic cases. A clerk will have get every item for you, which will drive up the cost of everything.
