You might be surprised at what they know! Dumb and Dumber above have no idea they're targeted. Small timers won't catch any heat as training is to let it slide above all. We had tips on how to "confront" shoplifters without actually saying anything.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I was explicitly trained never to do so.
