And the other
day I heard an anecdote from someone who works in a retail
clothing shop at a nearby mall - that franchise doesn't even
bother prosecuting shoplifting unless it's more than $1,000.
When I worked in Disney World, we were specically told to ignore
shoplifters from mechandise carts... the stuff wasn't valuable enough to
warrant the hassles involved in stopping a thief.
That is pretty sad when you consider that many of those carts carried
items that sold for $50 and up (one near my attraction sold $100 pairs of
sunglasses... I always wondered what kind of a markup Disney was making
on them to not care about someone stealing them)
