Good Job .... about time that shit stops FAFO

 

[Andy B.]

Awesome fuck the freeloaders we end up paying the price for higher cost of food to make of for these lazy pieces of shit!!!

 

[DMF]

Sadly, the employee that punched the thief will most likely be fired.

 

[Mr. C]

Sadly, the employee that punched the thief will most likely be fired.

That does seem to be the pattern.
I hope not though. One would hope if an employee stood up for your company you’d get a raise or hell. Just a day off.

 

[Echo Lodge]

Sadly, the employee that punched the thief will most likely be fired.

And sued!

 

[Rajobigguy]

Stater Brothets is a Ca. Chain . Employee will likely due jail time.

The high prices start at the conglomerates who own our food chain, this from US Foods, note "optimized pricing" comment.

Labor and theft add to it, but the WalMart's, Kroger's et all play a major factor. It aint farm to table.

U.S. Foods, $6.1 billion in profit, you paid that.

"Gross profit of $6.1 billion increased $656 million, or 11.9%, from the prior year, primarily as a result of an increase in total case volume, cost of goods sold optimization, increased freight income from improved inbound logistics and optimized pricing. Gross profit as a percent of Net sales was 17.3%. Adjusted Gross profit was $6.1 billion, a 9.0% increase from the prior year. Adjusted Gross profit as a percent of Net sales was 17.3% and adjusted Gross profit per case was strong due to the aforementioned factors."

 

[Fun Times]

I've somewhat often have seen Stater Brothers employees going after shoplifters in a team fashion such as that...Them and Smart and Final... I suspect they may have a slightly different policy in place vs some of the others at stopping thefts.

 

[timstoy]

As it should be! Von’s use to have their own security team in plainclothes years ago and would detain shoplifters and press charges. A couple guys carried guns! Fun times when I was a box boy seen a lot of people do stupid things!

That's a lot of hot air where did you copy and paste that? Talk about over analyzing pretty simple lazy assholes that steal should not be protected and it does cost the consumer, pretty simple. But thanks for all that fancy data.

lol, the hot air comes from the US foods annual report for 2023

The big guys love squeezing the working fools.

I'm no fan of the liberal laws that benefit shoplifting, but follow the money....

Don't believe everything you read but I totally agree with you on follow the money. Greedy corporations and politicians working hand in hand been that way for decades...........

It's like what happened to car / boat prices during covid... up, up and up.

Food is no different.

What's the saying, don't let a crisis go to waste??

But hey, the stock market is up. Why? Because you and I are paying for it.

Happy shareholders, sad minions.

I worked at Skaggs Drugstore after High School, I was 19 or so. They caught a Mexican guy on the mirrors stealing a toothbrush and shaving cream. He got to the door and ran and my boss said "Get Him". I tackled him in the parking lot and the cops came and hauled him away. I kinda still feel bad about the whole deal, guy was just trying to survive. Not like these days where these assholes blatantly walk out with a full cart of stuff and no one stops them.........

I loved your post up until the last few words. Absolutely not true. Law enforcement personnel DO care, whether you believe it or not. I know for a fact that agencies near me do arrest and book these shit bags all the time, when the retail chain is desirous of prosecution. The management at the retail stores dictate a lot of what happens based on their desire to prosecute (Private Person's Arrest), or not. Many large corporations refuse to prosecute as they believe the costs are more easily "Written off" versus paying employees who have to be excused from work in order to appear in court for an arrest related to a theft.

I disagree with this. As a former grocery store manager, it is 100% up to the police department if they want to come out and do anything about it when we call them. I can’t tell you how many times I called on someone stealing or vandalizing and was told that they were too busy to deal with something like that.

I'm sorry that happened to you folks. That absolutely sucks. I'm not sure what city you worked in, but I can almost guarantee it wasn't in the city where I work. I can tell you without a doubt that the guys I work with do whatever we can to get to these types of calls as quickly as possible. What can I say, we like taking folks to jail!! I can't speak about the agency where your store was located though....

I wish I would have had more officers like that in West Covina and Rancho Cucamonga!

 

[Backlash]

Believe it or not, WCPD and SBCSO both have outstanding officers and deputies. Unfortunately, I know for a fact that both departments have the propensity to be busy at times. I'm hopeful their guys/gals were tied up on something more significant and those are the only reasons they were unable to assist you guys. Don't lose faith, there are still a lot of people out here trying to do the best we can with what we've got.

Very true. Another tool when I was working was Border Patrol. If the person had no "papers", and the store did not want to prosecute, I would call BP to have them picked up. It's too bad LE today can no longer do that.

 

[Joker]

It always seems to be the same people. Is there a different channel that I'm unaware of?

Wife says calling campus police at the Hospital is useless.

They call the Sheriff’s because they get action. Maybe it’s the same hospital staff serving the Sheriffs when they are injured is my take.

It’s usually mid Easterners families causing issues. Iranians shitting on their free entitlements and anyone associated with it.

Most other immigrants are appreciative, kind and good patients. They know they got a good thing, the best anywhere and it’s free.
Poor patients are the best patients.

As it should be! Von’s use to have their own security team in plainclothes years ago and would detain shoplifters and press charges. A couple guys carried guns! Fun times when I was a box boy seen a lot of people do stupid things!

I did that as a box boy at Sav On. Guy tried ro steal a case of Gin and we buggy whipped him with the rubber grocery separators at the door. We won.

waaaaay back in the day. I worked loss prevention at a couple of different retailers. It was my job to apprehend shoplifters and employee thieves. Yes, we used physical force when required and yes, the stores prosecuted. different times indeed.

Grocery worker has nose broken trying to stop retail theft in Southern California

A woman suspected of a retail theft in San Bernardino County that left a grocery store employee with a broken nose last week was arrested Tuesday.

The robbery was reported at the Stater Bros. Markets location in the 15700 block of Main Street in Hesperia on May 15, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department stated in a news release Wednesday.

Investigators said that a market employee was assaulted while trying to stop the suspect, later identified as 25-year-old Ginny Nicholson of Victorville, from exiting the store with a bag of concealed alcohol.

“The Stater Bros. Market employee was transported to a local hospital, where she was treated for a broken nose and lacerations,” the Sheriff’s Department stated.

The suspect fled the store but was later identified by investigators who received a warrant for Nicholson’s arrest.

She was booked on suspicion of robbery and assault and was being held on $50,000 bail, according to the Sheriff’s Department.

Profit of $1.6 billion on $35.6 billion in net sales is 4.5%. That's hardly excessive.

Not surprising, that's the ghetto one. Only one scarier than that that I've been to is on Highland and the 215 in San Bernardino. If I weren't armed, I would have kept on driving.

The only problem with the hood rats is if they have a weapon.

California has a very good law for protection of storekeepers that if you have reasonable suspicion, they’re hiding something stealing it. You can detain them outside of the store.

Remember for the most part you don’t have a crime and until they cleared the door without paying for it.

depending upon the circumstances can be prosecuted as a felony , which is a wobbler, misdemeanor or felony for commercial burglary if they went in with the intent to steal.. The value doesn’t matter if they went into the intent to steal a five cent package of gum ,then that can be a felony, especially with a prior.

Word becomes more serious and you can go to prison his someone from a store store security identifies themselves and ask for the item back and they use force or fear such as simulating the weapon to make the escape so if they punch out a security or store manager now that becomes 211 PC robbery by force

$35.6 billion in sales is excessive.

Pretty soon we will have one supplier for all our food stuffs.

It's nearly impossible to buy local unless you go to the Farmers market.

I'm not looking forward to the day we have Amazon for hard goods and one store for food.

Shell made 7 billion in profit in the first quarter not much competition there either.

It is, but that's Victimville. There's a not so nice one in Apple Valley on Bear Valley by the Stadium.

The laws aren’t the issue. The enforcement is the issue. Most California PD’s won’t show up for a shoplifting call unless there’s a weapon involved. They don’t bother because they know they won’t be prosecuted.

Response to that...then you'll be to busy after we beat the hell out them. Perfect we handle it at the store.

US Foods is the fourth largest food distribution company in the United States. Sysco's 2023 income, the biggest food distributor in the country, doubled US Food's sales.

Shell is the fifth largest worldwide oil and gas conglomerate.

We have a new smart and final that sits next to the riverbed. The fucks were trying to go in and load up carts. Oops not today, they hired real security that takes care of business. Then the fucks would wait in the parking lot and rob customers of their carts of groceries they just bought. Can’t wait till they start trying to steal from the person who isn’t going to put up with that shit.
