Yesterday at work I caught some suspicious activity outside of the store I work at, I told the assistant manager what I noticed. So for around 30 minutes we all were on alert of a possible robbery, the cashiers armed themselves with pepper spray and other devices, I had the office locked.
Finally after almost 45 minutes the assistant manager decided to call the police. They showed up fast and I gave a description of the person, however they were still in the parking lot, when the police arrived they left, the police hung around for a bit.
Tonight a couple parked by the front door and was arguing, I watched to make sure it didn't escalate, it didn't. The staff, along with the assistant manager took out the trash, came in to tell me about a couple having sex in the car out back.
What in the heck is wrong with people, we got cameras everywhere!

People are so brazen these days - seems like security cameras no longer matter. Good of the police to be there to scare those people off (here, I don't know if the cops would have showed up in time). And geez about the couple in the car!

I wonder if security can see their faces.

Maybe some people WANT to be on camera. Anyway, glad you all are safe.

People just don't care who's watching anymore. Have a good day.

They don't know, and don't care apparently.

I think that the majority of people have become jaded to the fact that big brother is always watching, and they cannot help themselves to do what they always do.
I am glad that you did everything that you could to keep your staff and yourself and your store safe.

Glad, you took proactive steps . It is good to be alert and take cre of suspicious activities. Although we never know if the people in parking lot were planning a heist or not , it ws good to have taken the precautions. And as far people are concerned, there are few who are least bothered if there are cameras or not , they just want to get their demand satisfied. Sometimes they get a thrill by defying the rules and laws in society. It could be a character or age thing. But definitely not something we do if we had proper senses. Well, you did your part nd that was fantastic. Take care!
