It used to be that people had more respect for other people’s things. If it wasn’t yours, and you didn’t pay for it you just didn’t put your hands on it. If you did, then it was really easy to figure out if you had ill intentions or not.
When I was a kid, when you heard about someone shoplifting it was usually something small like a candy bar or a loaf of bread. Every once in a while you’d get the kid that would try to steal comic books or something like that.
Nowadays, it seems that shoplifting is going to become an event in the upcoming Olympics. It’s all due to the fault of liberal policies, especially in California the government has given people who want to steal pretty much a license to do so.
The state of California over the preceding couple of years changed their shoplifting laws to where the minimum felony amount is now so high it’s almost like a bunch of petulant children being told they have a limit that they can spend before they get in trouble.
This is why a lot of long-standing retailers in the state have decided to close up locations. Locations that would otherwise be profitable and booming in other parts of the country.
In California, particularly the liberal enclave of San Francisco, some retailers are resorting to unfortunately doing what liberals ultimately want, making us feel like we are living in an actual nanny state.

I love hardware stores, and I love just ambling through them to relax between home improvement projects. However, there’s one hardware store in liberal San Francisco that you just can’t do that anymore.
Fredrickson’s Hardware and Paint, a hardware store in the area that has been around for a long time has been forced to attempt something called a “one-on-one shopping experience” during the busiest parts of the day.
Now, what does this experience entail one might ask? Well, it means that they are only allowing people in one at a time and having someone walk around with them. You know the same way you weren’t allowed to cross the street without your mom when you were little.
In the same way you had to have several chaperones on field trips as children. Yes, shoplifting has now gotten so bad in California that some of the most affected stores are having an employee walk around with the customers one at a time to make sure they don’t steal anything.
This has got to be the most annoying experience of a lifetime as an honest person.
I mean, can you imagine going in for a box of nails and having to wait in line for an hour, then have someone staring at you the entire time?
