Job description..

[JBR]

They want some big tough security guys that aren't afraid to be intimidating .
In rough places they should wear stab vests

Although that would be an effective means of deterring shoplifters, that would result in them being sacked just like the one in the news recently.  The root problem appears to be the owners of the outlets.  In my opinion, they deserve to lose stock by shoplifting.
I wonder whether they are afraid to physically prevent shoplifting due to the recent hit-and-miss consequences in the courts, when some minor infractions are punished, yet some more important illegalities are quitely ignored.  Something is happening to our judges.
