We need armed guards at our store.
Seriously? You're going to shoot Jean Valjean for stealing a loaf of bread?

In Canada, we don't even have armed guards in the banks.

In Canada, the voters impose term limits.

The armed guard is obviously not going to shoot anybody.
Then what's the point of being armed?

Here in our town, off-duty police usually fill these positions.
So only the black shoplifters need to worry about being shot?

Shop lifters would ruin every store if not for security.
I worked in a large drug store for several years. During the time I was there, they actually reduced their response to shoplifters. The problems with harassment complaints apparently outweighed the losses from theft.
