#no they got a 'theyre kids' and released like she lost her CITIZENSHIP out of her wallet and they couldn't even pay for the fucking window?

So I work retail, right, and we get shoplifters- normal stuff. So the other day I guess 3 separate people had carts heaping full of stuff that they walked on out with (this happens frequently, you'd be shocked at how many people just walk out the door with thousands of dollars worth of shit). Given that several grand walked out the door my boss calls the cops- and this is where it gets absurd- they said they couldn't come because there was no one to send and I call bullshit on that when we've done this before and cops decide shoplifting isn't worth their time every time they're called.

Now, I don't really care that people are stealing from a billion dollar corp, fuck it up they aren't loosing anywhere near enough for that to matter, but Jesus Christ if I was that useless at my job I'd be fired. Cops so regularly refuse to do their fucking jobs to show up and take shoplifting reports that I just know they're this lazy everywhere else too, and in a way ZERO other employed people could be and with zero consequences for it, unlike anyone else who is bad at their jobs. Like this is what people think is saving society from crumbling? A bunch of lazy fucks who can't even do minor parts of their job right so I doubt they do anything else 100% up to snuff either? Really, the guys who can't even be bothered to care about several thousand dollars worth of theft? Like no wonder police solve rates for crimes are so embarrassingly low, they don't even begin to try let alone actually do their fucking jobs.
