LEO encounter at Home Depot in Allentown

[rotten97]

Just a little note about Home Depot , All there employees are trained to suspect anyone entering the store of having the intent of stealing something . The reason it is stressed to go ask Customers/suspected thief if they need help finding something is more so to deter them from shop lifting than it is to help them .

At the very least this is what I was taught when worked a the HD in East York .

Like another poster mentioned, I'm no fan of the judicial process or lawsuits, but alas, if that's the only way we can get the message across to these overbearing LEOs, then that's what must be done.

(seeing as how showdowns at high noon are not currently in fashion)

On a side note, as a sign of our appreciation for his legal efforts, I think we're going to have to make Mr. Magee an honorary member of the Zombie Response Team.

I'll second that motion.

GOOD! Glad to read this. Maybe they will start thinking twice about this sort of behavior.

Never mind, I'll let the lawyers handle it.
