King Soopers' SWAT Team

This is all new, and I am sure King Soopers does not want to do this, but they are being stolen blind, and have to respond.

There are better ways to respond than treating every customer as a suspect.

This is one of the tenets of Leftism- Social Equality.

True equality can only be achieved by dragging everyone down to the lowest common denominator. Instead of going after shady characters who look like they are going to steal, otherwise known as racial or social profiling, they treat everyone as a criminal, thereby appearing egalitarian.

This is guilty until proven innocent. The guard's glance at a receipt doesn't stop crime - it's conditioning. It normalizes compliance, the idea that everyone is a suspect.

It feels very Soviet: not about solving problems, but about reminding you who's in charge. And that's what I don't like.

And for those saying "what's the big deal, it's just a receipt check," ask yourself this: what's the difference between treating every shopper as a thief because a few people steal, and banning all ARs because one lunatic went on a spree? One is a private business policy and the other is government overreach. But the mindset is the same

In both cases, the innocent majority are punished for the actions of a tiny minority. It's easier to blanket everyone than to target the real problem. And that's exactly the kind of lazy, heavy-handed thinking I don't want to see normalized.
