It's just too much meat for us two. I'm a little worried at the storebought
chickens. Who knows how long they've been sitting in the warm?
Edrena, who's got stock making now from last nite's carcass. Lots of whole
garlic for the health benefit.

i don't think it's for the health benefit, i think you just like the
taste. wanton hussy.

your pal,
blake

What goes into wantons, hussy style? I like mine filled with cream
cheese and scallions...

and a touch of garlic?

yes that's all well and good, but here's the original exchange:

as you see, the owner says nothing about stealing, no matter what
color the thieves are. you assumed "locals who were taught that
whatever fits their pockets is free", which makes you a racist
[censored].

your pal,
blake

No, Blake. It makes me observant. Facts are facts and they have no color.

You are playing a game that's a waste of time.

so you watched as the 'locals' stuffed their pockets with 29-cent
chicken to such an extent the man had to close his store? i doubt it.

your pal,
blake

It's a simple matter of probability, Blake.

Even a big chain like Wegman's had to deal with it. The had a store in a
neighborhood where shoplifting was rampant, and guess who made up the vast
majority of the customers? The store tried things like packaging 2 green
peppers in a shrink wrapped tray, to make them harder to conceal. They knew
how many pounds they were putting on display every day, but the data showed
half to two thirds being purchased, with the rest vanishing. Guess what
happened when they took these measures (larger packaging)? We have our own
mini-Sharpton here. He accused the company of "targeting the black
community".

Wrong. They were targeting shoplifters without knowing who they were,
specifically. The only thing they knew was that in this particular store,
the majority of customers were black. It didn't matter to the mini-Sharpton
that in all their stores, they padlock the frozen seafood and put bars
around the cosmetics & pharmacy late at night. He saw only that one store as
an insult to the black community.

In the end, the store closed, which of course caused an uproar yet again.

Most people would have just let the person take their stuff.

That stuff must have been worth an awful lot

That really wasn't the point. But I did have my keys in there
with a bunch of paperwork including my name and address. And a
new in box $70 wireless router - which I wasn't even thinking
about at the time.

More importantly, perhaps the guy would have killed somebody more
helpless the next day. It's people who don't fight back that
encourage to rob and rob again.

I'm sure that was not an effort of loss prevention. The extra
packaging for 200 green peppers would far outweigh the cost of
somebody stealing 1 out of those 200 peppers.

I didn't even know black people ate green peppers <ducking>

Clue: People don't steel green peppers any more than they do
bunches of bananas. They steal meat, cosmetics and toiletry -
items of high value that are easy to conceal. Not $.50 green
peppers.

If you have a reference to produce theft in particular, I'd be
willing to consider them and possibly retract my statements.

The way expensive veggies are stolen most often is to hide them inside
of a bag of cheaper veggies. I've personally never done that, but my mom
did turn someone in once that hid a lb. of butter inside of a bag of
potatoes...

How much do those green pressed paper trays cost? I'll need that information
in order to not laugh at your theory.

They weren't losing one in 200. They were losing half to two thirds of the
inventory, and green peppers were mentioned as an example.

Stands to reason; potatoes need butter.
She probably had a pint of cream from the last go-round.

That's just plain ridiculous that 2/3rds of their green pepper

Yes. As compared to other items in the store. If they were
losing 50-66% of their green peppers, then they must have been
losing 92% of their meat and cosmetics according to the loss
prevention trends.

What a stupid argument. Nobody believes this [censored] you spew.

Call Danny Wegman or his daughter, Colleen, and explain that their

You want data from Wegmans? Is that what you're asking for? I gave you the
phone number. Call and tell them you need all their inventory shrinkage data
from their former location at the corner of Bay and Culver roads.
