"Our business has SO MUCH CRIME INSIDE that the police have special parking" is not a message that makes me want to come inside.

It's 99% shoplifting. But the police in my area don't use those parking spots anyway, they always park in the fire lane.

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 12 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

Still, they're having to call the police so frequently that this parking space made sense to someone. Maybe there's something about their store that needs to change. If a strip club was having to call the police every single day, they'd probably shut the place down.

I've seen these parking spots at every Walmart I've been to recently in multiple states (I go camping a lot and they're very useful if I need any food or supplies or if I need to replace a piece of gear). It seems like corporate just made a decision to put them at every location. I have yet to see police park anywhere except the fire lane though, I once saw fifteen cop cars parked in front of my local Walmart in the fire lane, it was just they were all buying Christmas gifts to donate I found out later.

the police is cheap and if you only inform them for felony levels of shoplifting (iirc a few hundred to a thousand) you don't have to deal with the profit reducer for a few years.

Wal-Mart is kinda the Mecca of shoplifting; it's turbo-corporate oligarch despotism so nobody feels guilty about shoplifting from them, they're usually located central to low income areas, and everyone assumes they don't have the budget to have a robust loss prevention department (they do; it's one of the most robust I've ever seen).

[–] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

Wal-Mart was a huge generator of calls for service in my patrol area, so much so that our county government had hash things out over multiple meetings and eventually write an MOU with them to stop calling us over $20 shoplifting cases.
