our bougie version of trader joes is doing this right now. shoplifters security, cant even be followed by hired security anymore, the homeless usually heroin and meth addicts just come in snatch stuff like no tomorrow. at this point there isnt a reason to have the security anymore. now you cant snatch the item back, talk to them in a “aggressive way” or pretend like you are blocking them.

the city kept clearing the “homeless/drug addict” areas, and they have swarmed the area since.
