They had actual police at downtown Toronto locations for a month to deter thieves. Then they went back to private security guards. The guards don't have the authority to detain or arrest anyone. In some cases criminals walk in and fill up a bag with grey goose bottles and security can only tell them "please stop".
I wonder how much it cost them to hire actual officers for a shift. The cop was standing there looking bored, but I'm sure they were raking in the overtime pay. Government agencies paying other government agencies.
Honestly their overall revenue is $690 M. That's .7%. That's pretty inline with private company retail shrinkage. The article makes it seem somehow criminal that they tell their staff not to interfere with thieves, but that's literally what all private retail tells their staff. It's better to cost the bottle of booze than to have the employee get injured and have to pay out for that.
True it's better to let a bottle of booze go out the door than to have an employee get hurt or die. Two things that piss me off are why aren't the security officers given special privileges to place offenders under citizen's arrest? They have bullet proof vests on and carry handguns no? Why not let them do their damn jobs as security and secure our tax payer dollars going out the door. You don't see Brinks truck drivers let thives walk out with bags full of money LMFAO! Second point is why the denial of information request? Wtf does the Government need hide from it's citizens about this whole affair? It's our hard earned money. We have every damn right to know where it's going, and how it's being used.
Agreed, the denial of the freedom of information request is absurd. The security in the LCBO definitely do not carry, probably best for the safety of the non shoplifters tbh.
Huh I thought they had guns on them. My local LCBO is in a small rural town so we don't actually have security. (Not that I've seen so far) As another person said on here maybe we should go back to having a counter with all the booze secured behind it. Seems like a waste to have security officers that don't actually secure anything lol.
How is this a joke? you are allowed to claim a medical exemption for almost any reason and the business is not allowed to challenge you by law. Libs wrote the useless law, they are the ones constantly wearing clown makeup.
I think it’s actually protected under health and privacy acts across Canada. It’s illegal to force someone to wear a mask if they have a medical condition, it is also illegal to ask for medical proof because it’s protected under provincial health law PHIPA in Ontario for example which protects your privacy for medical information.

Only a matter of time before the LCBO goes back to counter service like the old days.
Because as a white male, you have way more to lose from a theft charge.
Gtfo with that shit.
That's like saying whites aren't raping more women than other races because they just have more to lose.
Did you want segregation? Because you are promoting segregation.

Nice to see the Rebel once again showing what a joke they are.

Your "medical exemption" doesn't override the occupational health and safety of the employees.
They can ask you to leave at any time.
well that would be discrimination wouldn't it? places with animal bans need to make exemptions for disability assistance animals if I remember correct
Go ahead, try and sue. The judge will laugh their ass off.
that's what we thought about gay cakes but here we are
Mask derangement syndrome ^^^^

Canada is quickly becoming a low trust society.
Good time to start a company specializing in window bars and razor wire.
