[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 549260, member: 11791"] The old corner store where I grew up had a lot of trouble with shoplifting. So, they did something creative. First, they put up benches and a weathershade outside the front of the store. THEN they put their foot down and said "no more than 2 non-adults in the store at a time". Later - on suggestion from some of us - they put a little wicket through the wall, and we could "order" from there, too. And... us "good" kids didn't have a problem with what they were doing, we still had a place to hang out and an easy way to get our munchies. The bad kids... went elsewhere, which made it even better for the rest of us. But the benches and wicket stayed. If stores can find a way to address the needs/wants of their customers and still look after their own bottom line... everybody wins. But it takes some creativity, and some understanding of who your customers really are. [/QUOTE]
