00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:06.719
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm WBS Costin's new radio.

2
00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:10.160
<v Speaker 2>All right, welcome back everybody. As we move into the

3
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.759
<v Speaker 2>talk portion of the program. I do not have any

4
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:18.079
<v Speaker 2>guests scheduled for the night for tonight other than you.

5
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:20.440
<v Speaker 2>You will be my guest when you call six one, seven, two,

6
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:23.480
<v Speaker 2>five four ten thirty or six one seven nine three

7
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.879
<v Speaker 2>one ten thirty. And we have a couple of topics

8
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:30.079
<v Speaker 2>that I'd like to talk about tonight. At ten o'clock.

9
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.679
<v Speaker 2>Our intention is to talk about the US Surgeon General's

10
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:38.240
<v Speaker 2>new advisory on a link between use of alcohol and

11
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:42.960
<v Speaker 2>cancer risk. We'll get to that after ten o'clock. However,

12
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:46.799
<v Speaker 2>this hour I want to talk about something that's been

13
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.640
<v Speaker 2>going on for a while and it seems from what

14
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:53.560
<v Speaker 2>I see, to be spreading more and more and more.

15
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:59.679
<v Speaker 2>And that is you go into certain stores and you

16
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:04.480
<v Speaker 2>want to buy an item, something relatively simple, maybe I

17
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 2>don't know, health of beauty products, maybe toothpaste, the odorant, shampoo,

18
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:16.079
<v Speaker 2>some cosmetics, not the most expensive items. And you go

19
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:20.439
<v Speaker 2>there and you realize the toothpaste is under lock and key,

20
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 2>so you have to find some of the store clerks,

21
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.760
<v Speaker 2>which can be difficult and you're telling me you'd like

22
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:31.760
<v Speaker 2>to buy some toothpaste or shampoo or whatever, just the

23
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:33.799
<v Speaker 2>normal sort of stuff that people buy every day at

24
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:35.959
<v Speaker 2>a pharmacy. And they'll say, well, I got to go

25
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 2>get the key, and they go and they get the key,

26
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.920
<v Speaker 2>and then they unlock the case, and so you then

27
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.640
<v Speaker 2>can spend your you know, six dollars, eight dollars, whatever

28
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:48.680
<v Speaker 2>you want, fourteen dollars on the toothpaste or on the shampoo.

29
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.959
<v Speaker 2>And this is happening across America, and I think it's

30
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.200
<v Speaker 2>a very troubling trend. Now, my understanding is that these

31
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.920
<v Speaker 2>and companies are doing this is because they're being ripped off.

32
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 2>According to one article I have from CNN, business retailers,

33
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>I guess, have suffered so much loss of theft that

34
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 2>they're willing to take a reduction in sales when they

35
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.039
<v Speaker 2>lock up items. According to the CNN article, retailers see

36
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.680
<v Speaker 2>up to a twenty reduction in sales when they lock

37
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:32.560
<v Speaker 2>up items. They also face higher labor costs because employees

38
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:37.759
<v Speaker 2>spent additional time unlocking and locking cases. I was recently,

39
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.039
<v Speaker 2>maybe a couple months ago, uh in a Target store

40
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:47.840
<v Speaker 2>over in Watertown, and nice store lots of different stuff,

41
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 2>and I was looking just for some men's socks. Uh.

42
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 2>And they're they're they're locked up, they're under lock and key.

43
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 2>So I had to find somebody, you know.

44
00:02:58.439 --> 00:02:58.520
<v Speaker 1>You.

45
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.240
<v Speaker 2>To just to look at the store. You can look

46
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:07.080
<v Speaker 2>at them through the glass, okay, but that doesn't tell you, you know,

47
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>how comfortable they might be, what what the material is,

48
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 2>difficult to figure out what the cost is because generally

49
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.240
<v Speaker 2>the price is fixed. So I kind of just walked

50
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.240
<v Speaker 2>away and I figured I'll get, you know, the next

51
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 2>next time I'm in a store where there are socks

52
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:24.800
<v Speaker 2>that are available. This is a really discouraging trend in

53
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 2>this country. Uh, I am, you know, been around for

54
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:33.919
<v Speaker 2>a long time. Uh. And you know, you go into

55
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.280
<v Speaker 2>liquor stores and not that I'm buying high end you know,

56
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:43.039
<v Speaker 2>uh liquor, but they're they're worried about Pilfridge. We did

57
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 2>the story a couple of weeks ago, well a few

58
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago with Gary of Gary's Liquors over in West Roxbury,

59
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 2>where they're getting hit time and time again by thieves

60
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.319
<v Speaker 2>just walking in, people walking in and having the audacity

61
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.560
<v Speaker 2>to just to walk out. Now in some of the

62
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:02.759
<v Speaker 2>and of course we saw what happened in San Francisco.

63
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Some of the sorees basically tell the employees don't interfere.

64
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>If someone comes in and they're grabbing, they got a

65
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.080
<v Speaker 2>bag and they're throwing items in it, get out of

66
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.519
<v Speaker 2>their way. What sort of a message does that send?

67
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Bottom line is I'm wondering. I'm wondering if with a

68
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:27.079
<v Speaker 2>new administration maybe things might change a little bit. I

69
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:31.519
<v Speaker 2>think a lot of companies are cowardly. Cowardly. Now, I

70
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.040
<v Speaker 2>don't think they have a right to order their employees

71
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:39.519
<v Speaker 2>to interfere with shoplifters, but I think that they certainly

72
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 2>should encourage the employees to yell at the individual ian

73
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.360
<v Speaker 2>to if necessary, you know, call the police. Why not?

74
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Why not? In every store in America have a buzzer

75
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:55.519
<v Speaker 2>in which an employee can literally hit the buzzer and

76
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.759
<v Speaker 2>the local police department can be alerted immediately, maybe maybe

77
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.639
<v Speaker 2>even alerted before the left the cars. You know, a

78
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.439
<v Speaker 2>couple of kids come into the store, and my understanding

79
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 2>from the store owners that I talk to that you

80
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.600
<v Speaker 2>pretty much can figure it out and it's got nothing

81
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:16.759
<v Speaker 2>to do with profiling. But you'll see people looking around,

82
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:20.079
<v Speaker 2>furtive looks. Who's looking who's watching. These are stores that

83
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 2>have cameras. I mean, these people who are doing this

84
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:29.399
<v Speaker 2>with impunity. They feel they can get away with it

85
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:33.759
<v Speaker 2>and guess what they can, and somehow, some way, we're

86
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:37.160
<v Speaker 2>all paying for it. I mean, in one form or another. Obviously,

87
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:41.360
<v Speaker 2>if a store is putting in cases which have locks,

88
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.879
<v Speaker 2>well the store's not gonna absorb that cost. That's going

89
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.600
<v Speaker 2>to be passed on to you and me as loyal customers.

90
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm a lower customer of CVS, but I got to

91
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.439
<v Speaker 2>tell you, you know, now, I'll say to myself, Gee, if

92
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.519
<v Speaker 2>I go into a CVS and it's all stuff walked up,

93
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to waste my time. I'm I'll buy

94
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:03.839
<v Speaker 2>the same thing I can buy a CVS I can

95
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:07.120
<v Speaker 2>buy at the grocery store. Now, I don't know why

96
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:09.480
<v Speaker 2>it's locked up at CVS and it's not locked up

97
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.279
<v Speaker 2>at the grocery store. I don't know why it's locked

98
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:16.439
<v Speaker 2>up at Walgreens and it's not locked up at market Basket.

99
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:20.040
<v Speaker 2>I think that these companies better start to kind of

100
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:23.360
<v Speaker 2>get a hold of themselves and figure this out. So

101
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.920
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to know what have you tried to buy recently.

102
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:28.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure that if you went in and looking for

103
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.879
<v Speaker 2>a five hundred dollars bottle of champagne, as if I'm

104
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:33.720
<v Speaker 2>sure all of you do that all the time. Of

105
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.399
<v Speaker 2>course not. I can understand where they might say, well,

106
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:38.519
<v Speaker 2>the five hundred dollars bottle of champagne, we really don't

107
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:40.720
<v Speaker 2>want people handling it because they might drop it on

108
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:45.439
<v Speaker 2>the floor. No, we keep that separate. I get that.

109
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.680
<v Speaker 2>But just a tube of toothpaste, a bottle of shampoo,

110
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:56.120
<v Speaker 2>a candidate odorant, come on six one, seven, two, five, four, ten,

111
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.800
<v Speaker 2>thirty six, seven nine three. Love to know if this

112
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.720
<v Speaker 2>bothers you. It certainly says to me that this is

113
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:07.519
<v Speaker 2>a corrosive element in our society. It should not be

114
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:12.199
<v Speaker 2>this way. Okay if because this to me has a

115
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Third World sense to it. I want to be able

116
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.600
<v Speaker 2>to walk into a store in Boston, in Greater Boston,

117
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:22.160
<v Speaker 2>here in New England and pick items up, look at them,

118
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:25.959
<v Speaker 2>see how much they cost, make sure they marked properly,

119
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.560
<v Speaker 2>go to the counter, put them on the counter, pay

120
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.360
<v Speaker 2>for them. That's all I ask. Is that too much?

121
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:33.959
<v Speaker 2>We'll take a break. We'll get to phone calls right

122
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.000
<v Speaker 2>after the break again, no guest schedule tonight. You are

123
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:40.240
<v Speaker 2>my guests. I'd love to know if you think that

124
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:44.480
<v Speaker 2>we are doomed and this is the future. I hope not.

125
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:48.839
<v Speaker 2>I hope that maybe maybe we're going to have some

126
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:52.160
<v Speaker 2>sort of a renaissance here and turn things around. Back

127
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.120
<v Speaker 2>on Night's Side joined the conversation right after these messages.

128
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

129
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Night Side Studio. I'm WBZ News Radio.

130
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, Rogers said something which is really interesting. I thought,

131
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.319
<v Speaker 2>very insightful. I wish I thought of it. Rob said,

132
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.319
<v Speaker 2>the same stores that lock things up under lock and key,

133
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.680
<v Speaker 2>they allow you and in some cases force you to

134
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.759
<v Speaker 2>do self checkout. So wait a second. You don't trust

135
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.560
<v Speaker 2>me to pick a tube of toothpaste off a shelf

136
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.959
<v Speaker 2>and bring it up to the counter, but you trust

137
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.079
<v Speaker 2>me once you've given me the tube of toothpaste, I'm

138
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.320
<v Speaker 2>gonna walk up to a self checkout and I'm gonna

139
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.960
<v Speaker 2>ring everything up. There's an inconsistency here, folks, Corporate America,

140
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:42.480
<v Speaker 2>wake the hell up. Let's go gonna go to Angelo

141
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.639
<v Speaker 2>and Newton. Angelo, you are first, is our Nightside. Let's

142
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:46.919
<v Speaker 2>kick it off. Angelo, go right.

143
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.919
<v Speaker 3>Ahead, Hi, Dan Ring, how you doing? I believe it

144
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:53.440
<v Speaker 3>everything you were saying. But let me tell you something.

145
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:56.360
<v Speaker 3>There has been a lot of sailing going round, I know.

146
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:00.519
<v Speaker 3>And I've been to CBS and I've seen a person

147
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.600
<v Speaker 3>waiting for the guy to come just to get some

148
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:06.440
<v Speaker 3>twope or whatever he wanted to shave and queen. He

149
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.559
<v Speaker 3>had to wait for the guy to come to open

150
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:13.159
<v Speaker 3>that up, and then somebody else came over, and you

151
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:14.960
<v Speaker 3>had to wait for somebody else to come over to

152
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:19.000
<v Speaker 3>open up the next one, though. And I don't know

153
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:20.799
<v Speaker 3>if you ever, I don't know if you ever know

154
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:22.600
<v Speaker 3>have you ever been to home Depot?

155
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:27.240
<v Speaker 2>I stay away from home Depot because I find I'd

156
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:32.960
<v Speaker 2>rather go to a local community drug store, a cardware store.

157
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Excuse me, uh, but I've gone to home Depot and

158
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:38.759
<v Speaker 2>it's it's never been a good experience for me. Tell

159
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:40.279
<v Speaker 2>tell me about your experience.

160
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:43.519
<v Speaker 3>Well, let me tell you. I was shocked. One day

161
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.240
<v Speaker 3>I went to buy something there and they came out

162
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.960
<v Speaker 3>with the carriage and I passed the cashire and no

163
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.720
<v Speaker 3>sooner I got to the door, the wheels on the

164
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.960
<v Speaker 3>carriage locked up. And here you have tried to push

165
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.480
<v Speaker 3>the garage and I had to call a guy, says Hey,

166
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:00.879
<v Speaker 3>what's going on here? I said, heels on the cabbage

167
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:03.000
<v Speaker 3>locked up on me. I can't get out of here,

168
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:05.519
<v Speaker 3>he said, I said, what's this all about? It? He says,

169
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:07.720
<v Speaker 3>believe it or not. He says, you wouldn't know how

170
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.399
<v Speaker 3>much ceiling we have going out of this door on cabbages.

171
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.759
<v Speaker 3>He says, we had to do this. He says, somebody,

172
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:15.879
<v Speaker 3>these people come here, they load up the cabbages and

173
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:17.919
<v Speaker 3>we don't even know it, and they walk right out

174
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:18.559
<v Speaker 3>of the building.

175
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's the hire. Some people hire a security guard.

176
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.080
<v Speaker 2>There has to be some way. I have a good

177
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.279
<v Speaker 2>I have a good friend of mine who's a restaurant

178
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:32.440
<v Speaker 2>owner in Boston. Okay, I'm not going to tell you

179
00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:36.679
<v Speaker 2>the name, but you'd know. The restaurant tells me that

180
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:40.159
<v Speaker 2>they have seen more people. And what the scam is.

181
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:43.240
<v Speaker 2>The people go in, they ordered dinner, they order wine

182
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.120
<v Speaker 2>or whatever you know this is. This is a high

183
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.840
<v Speaker 2>end restaurant, and then they order dessert, and when the

184
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 2>waiter leaves to go get them to this the dessert tray,

185
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.200
<v Speaker 2>they move they take off. It's they call that shot

186
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.360
<v Speaker 2>and screw. I mean I.

187
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Heard a lot that. Believe me. Believe me, it's it's crazy,

188
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:06.600
<v Speaker 3>it's insane when we're going here and it's like unbelievable.

189
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.000
<v Speaker 3>I had, I had, like.

190
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.399
<v Speaker 2>We don't have food programs for people. It's not like

191
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:15.519
<v Speaker 2>we don't have EBT cards, and you know, it's not

192
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.840
<v Speaker 2>like we're not in the in the depression of the

193
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:23.440
<v Speaker 2>nineteen late twenties and early thirties where no one had food.

194
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.879
<v Speaker 2>I just think we have. We have lost so much

195
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:28.960
<v Speaker 2>as a as a society. That's all.

196
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:38.200
<v Speaker 3>Somebody careful. Yeah good, the people in the door, Yeah good.

199
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.120
<v Speaker 2>go to home people because it's it's too aggravating. I'd

200
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.200
<v Speaker 2>rather pay a couple of extra bucks than go to

201
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.600
<v Speaker 2>ACE Hardware or what are the local hardware change.

202
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:52.399
<v Speaker 3>That's yeah, I don't go there off and I just

203
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.000
<v Speaker 3>I just go there from when I really need something,

204
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.679
<v Speaker 3>because that's the only place that's opening nights, some guys,

205
00:11:57.919 --> 00:11:59.480
<v Speaker 3>that's the only time I go. The other than that,

00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:01.960
<v Speaker 3>I go other places all.

<v Speaker 2>Let me go to Tim in Ruber and Tim you're

231
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:17.240
<v Speaker 2>next nightsacker right ahead.

232
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:23.279
<v Speaker 4>The CBS is unbelievable to get raizor blades after shaved

233
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:27.399
<v Speaker 4>on the locking locking key. And they're in two different areas.

234
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:32.600
<v Speaker 4>Now they have nobody walking the floor. Employees to behind

235
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:36.679
<v Speaker 4>the redges of cashiers. You gotta wait for the cashire

236
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:39.720
<v Speaker 4>right to be done, waiting on four or five people.

237
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:43.440
<v Speaker 4>Then they go over and then they unlock things. Right,

238
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.960
<v Speaker 4>I go. Now, I go to market basket. Nothing's under

239
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:47.639
<v Speaker 4>lock and key.

240
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I have. There's a whole bunch of reasons why

241
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:52.879
<v Speaker 2>I like market basket. I don't know. Do you have

242
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:54.240
<v Speaker 2>one that's close to you in Ruber and.

243
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:57.240
<v Speaker 4>Tim, Yes, I do, about a mile from my house.

244
00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:59.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, you're you're lucky, You're lucky.

245
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:00.879
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

246
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.759
<v Speaker 2>I just seen this and it just seems that that

247
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:06.440
<v Speaker 2>it just seems to be getting worse and worse and worse.

248
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:09.559
<v Speaker 2>And the stores, why don't the stores have a security

249
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.279
<v Speaker 2>guard in there? I mean, why not hire you know,

250
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.639
<v Speaker 2>off duty police officers on the detail.

251
00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:18.600
<v Speaker 4>You're right, you're right. Why don't they money?

252
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Money? I guess money, but they might to spend money

253
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:23.799
<v Speaker 2>on law and they're driving customers away.

254
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:25.600
<v Speaker 4>I have no idea.

255
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Why why are they doing it this way? Have a

256
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.279
<v Speaker 2>police officer there on a detail. If you think, you

257
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:34.840
<v Speaker 2>know the pilfridge on a Friday night, or you know Thursday, Friday,

258
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:38.919
<v Speaker 2>Saturday nights are bad. Have a police officer there the wall,

259
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:41.639
<v Speaker 2>get around and they'll go. They'll go hit other stores

260
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:42.559
<v Speaker 2>and other communities.

261
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:47.279
<v Speaker 4>I used to get my greeting cards down the cvs.

262
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.240
<v Speaker 4>What you got to go through with that, right, So

263
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:52.480
<v Speaker 4>I get them at Family Dollar and move them square.

264
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:55.639
<v Speaker 4>But anyhow, I'm done with CVS. I go with a

265
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:57.240
<v Speaker 4>market basket. That's where I go.

266
00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:00.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I think a lot of the pharmace sees

267
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.120
<v Speaker 2>their understand that when I say the pharmacies, the drug stores,

268
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:04.720
<v Speaker 2>what if you want to call them, but they have

269
00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:10.039
<v Speaker 2>a pharmacy, they're understaffed, and yes, it's just it's it's interesting.

270
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:12.759
<v Speaker 2>They make it difficult. They want you to be a

271
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:16.159
<v Speaker 2>loyal customer and and but they make it difficult for

272
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.559
<v Speaker 2>you to be a loyal customer. And we're losing. We're

273
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:23.960
<v Speaker 2>losing what this country, in many respects always was that

274
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:27.279
<v Speaker 2>you went into a store and you felt comfortable in

275
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:31.639
<v Speaker 2>the store, You felt welcome, you felt that people wanted

276
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:33.799
<v Speaker 2>you to come there. I used to go to Home

277
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:36.559
<v Speaker 2>Depot all the time. But you get to home depot.

278
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Now it's changed totally for me, and it's got nothing

279
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:44.120
<v Speaker 2>to do with that pilfridge. But the CBS stores they've

280
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:47.240
<v Speaker 2>also changed because now much more stuff lock and key.

281
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:49.759
<v Speaker 2>When I was in Target that day, I was stunned.

282
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:51.879
<v Speaker 2>Men's socks. What do they charge you if it's set

283
00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:53.879
<v Speaker 2>men's socks? Ten dollars up here and they're putting that

284
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:54.559
<v Speaker 2>under lock.

285
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:57.159
<v Speaker 4>And key, under lock and key a pair of sacks

286
00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:58.240
<v Speaker 4>and you imagine that.

287
00:15:58.639 --> 00:15:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we got it.

288
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:05.039
<v Speaker 4>An I'm done with CBS and I love my mug.

289
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:10.159
<v Speaker 2>Right, enjoy the coffee in the morning. Okay, Thanks, Thanks.

290
00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:11.879
<v Speaker 4>Dan, Okay, thanks Dan.

291
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Let me go next to Hank is in Chelmsford. Hank,

292
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:17.159
<v Speaker 2>you're next to Chelmster. Go right ahead, Hank.

293
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:21.759
<v Speaker 6>Hey, good evening, Dan. I was thinking, I was thinking

294
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:27.240
<v Speaker 6>about your comment about the Third World and having lived

295
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:31.279
<v Speaker 6>there as a volunteer teacher for a year. You're exactly right,

296
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:37.440
<v Speaker 6>and to the point of the root cause of it

297
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.759
<v Speaker 6>to me is lawlessness. And I'm not going to appoint

298
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:47.159
<v Speaker 6>it to a specific group, but a popular lawlessness that's

299
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:50.759
<v Speaker 6>part and parcel of the anti religion sentiment that has

300
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:57.120
<v Speaker 6>grown up and more dismissive comments are made about people

301
00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:00.799
<v Speaker 6>who believe in the supernatural. But you know something I

302
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:04.839
<v Speaker 6>don't disagree. Getting back to the point, as John Adams said,

303
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:09.000
<v Speaker 6>you know, the Constitution was written for a religious and

304
00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:12.799
<v Speaker 6>moral people and is unfit for any other. So the

305
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:16.240
<v Speaker 6>country was founded on men of goodwill, not their belief

306
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:19.720
<v Speaker 6>in the supernatural. But men of goodwill was the foundation

307
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:21.200
<v Speaker 6>of our country.

308
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:25.519
<v Speaker 2>Henk, give me a favorite. I'm having a conversation with

309
00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:27.079
<v Speaker 2>you here for a second. Hold on for a second.

310
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:31.200
<v Speaker 2>I agree with you. I think that as fewer and

311
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:35.599
<v Speaker 2>fewer people have found themselves associated with a religion, either

312
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:39.759
<v Speaker 2>through a church or a set of beliefs, that you

313
00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:43.440
<v Speaker 2>know what what's called moral relativism comes along and the

314
00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:46.599
<v Speaker 2>idea is, well, that company doesn't need the money that

315
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:49.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm paying for this this you know U tube of

316
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:53.119
<v Speaker 2>toothpaste or this shaving cream. I'll just stick it in

317
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:56.680
<v Speaker 2>my pocket. So there's moral relativism, and that's you know,

318
00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.599
<v Speaker 2>that's not right. I mean, And I think we're exactly

319
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:01.480
<v Speaker 2>on the same page, whether you realize it or not.

320
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:04.279
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, I do. I think it's on a more

321
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:07.359
<v Speaker 6>abstract level. Is in my moment because I want to

322
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:13.599
<v Speaker 6>they won consulation of an example, and this lawlessness that's

323
00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:18.799
<v Speaker 6>become popular, it degrades life for all of us. The

324
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:23.400
<v Speaker 6>common good is degraded by that. And for example, it

325
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:26.799
<v Speaker 6>is against the law in Massachusetts for teachers to go

326
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:31.519
<v Speaker 6>on strike. A group did against the law. They got

327
00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:34.319
<v Speaker 6>what they wanted as a result. Now, what did they

328
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:38.319
<v Speaker 6>teach all the children about obeying the law when that happened.

329
00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Obviously the question gives the answer. And by the way,

330
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.960
<v Speaker 2>not only did they go on strike, which is against

331
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:51.519
<v Speaker 2>the law, but in one city, a couple of communities

332
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:55.119
<v Speaker 2>in Newton, they were out for eleven days last January,

333
00:18:55.480 --> 00:19:00.400
<v Speaker 2>and then up in the Beverly Gloucester area out for

334
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:05.160
<v Speaker 2>two weeks in November. I mean, that's yeah, that's as

335
00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:05.680
<v Speaker 2>a solution.

336
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:08.240
<v Speaker 6>As a solution, I only have a question is how

337
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:11.319
<v Speaker 6>can we make obedience to the law cool again? Because

338
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:13.759
<v Speaker 6>it used to be cool for people to obey the law,

339
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:18.720
<v Speaker 6>and then if became uncool, and now we're going in

340
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:21.119
<v Speaker 6>a you know, the spirals down to the third world.

341
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:25.839
<v Speaker 6>And if you keep adding these security costs, like laughing

342
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:28.559
<v Speaker 6>up every little item just like the third world, will

343
00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:30.359
<v Speaker 6>you go into a tienda You don't get to put

344
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.720
<v Speaker 6>your hands on anything. Everything's behind a bulletproof puxiglass screen

345
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.440
<v Speaker 6>and you talk to their man and that's how you shop,

346
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:39.799
<v Speaker 6>you know. So we're heading in all which drives up

347
00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:41.079
<v Speaker 6>the cost of everything.

348
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:41.400
<v Speaker 7>Right.

349
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, I remember as many as long as twenty years ago,

350
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:50.440
<v Speaker 2>when I worked in television at night, there were certain

351
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:54.400
<v Speaker 2>gas stations that you pull into and you put your

352
00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:58.119
<v Speaker 2>your money. You know, there's like a little slat, you know,

353
00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:02.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty bucks, you get twenty dollars. You couldn't even you

354
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:05.319
<v Speaker 2>try to talk to them, to the guy behind the counter,

355
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:08.000
<v Speaker 2>and the plexiglass was so strong. What'd you say? I

356
00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:10.559
<v Speaker 2>got to understand that, no, we are going in the

357
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:13.839
<v Speaker 2>opposite direction of where we should as America. And I'm

358
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:17.759
<v Speaker 2>hoping that we're gonna do a U turn A real quickly.

359
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:20.240
<v Speaker 2>And I hope, Hank, that you become a more frequent

360
00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:23.079
<v Speaker 2>caller on this program, because I hear I need to

361
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:26.519
<v Speaker 2>hear voices like yours more often. And I mean that honestly.

362
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:28.200
<v Speaker 4>Okay, well, be careful.

363
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:29.319
<v Speaker 6>You might get what you asked for.

364
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Nothing wrong with that. I'm smart enough to know the

365
00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:36.519
<v Speaker 2>callers that I will like, and I share a lot

366
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:39.279
<v Speaker 2>of you know, one of the things again, it's moral

367
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:42.559
<v Speaker 2>relativism that we're concerned about here. It's like I'm going

368
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:45.519
<v Speaker 2>to steal that toothpaste because the company makes so much money,

369
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:49.200
<v Speaker 2>they're not going to miss one one tube of toothpaste,

370
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:51.519
<v Speaker 2>and I'm gonna grab a cup set of razors there.

371
00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Because that's moral relativism. It doesn't harm anybody. Yes, it

372
00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:58.400
<v Speaker 2>does harm people. It's as simple as that. Thanks Hank.

373
00:20:58.440 --> 00:20:59.680
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk soon and appreciate it.

374
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:01.000
<v Speaker 6>Thank you, Dan.

375
00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:01.960
<v Speaker 7>Appreciate it by.

376
00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, what what country did you work in?

377
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:05.200
<v Speaker 7>Belize?

378
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Belize? Oh, I have a friend who had a place

379
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:14.359
<v Speaker 2>in Belize. Actually, some night we'll talk about Belize. It's

380
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:17.240
<v Speaker 2>a very interesting country. Many people don't know where it is,

381
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:20.720
<v Speaker 2>but it's not far from our southern border. Thanks any man,

382
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Thanks bye bye. Six one seven two five four ten thirty.

383
00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:26.440
<v Speaker 2>One line there and one line at six one seven

384
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:29.400
<v Speaker 2>nine three one ten thirty. Yeah, if you do not

385
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:33.680
<v Speaker 2>understand the concept of moral relativism, feel free to join

386
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:36.440
<v Speaker 2>the conversation. Okay, that's the idea of Yeah, I can

387
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:39.119
<v Speaker 2>take this because what doesn't really matter. You know, it's

388
00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:42.359
<v Speaker 2>only a candy bar, but a candy bar leads to

389
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:44.599
<v Speaker 2>a pack of cigarettes. And a pack of cigarettes leads

390
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:47.079
<v Speaker 2>to more and more and more, and then eventually you

391
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:49.799
<v Speaker 2>got to go in and uh and carry a gun

392
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:51.799
<v Speaker 2>to make sure that you can get out. This is

393
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:55.119
<v Speaker 2>we're hitting, and we've continued ahead for a long time

394
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:58.039
<v Speaker 2>in bad in a bad direction, and you're seeing it

395
00:21:58.160 --> 00:22:02.319
<v Speaker 2>right now with this the stuff in stores locked up,

396
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:05.079
<v Speaker 2>simple as that. I got Joe Patrician, Gary got some

397
00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:08.200
<v Speaker 2>room for you. Six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty.

398
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.359
<v Speaker 2>You're my guest tonight, no guests, all callers coming back

399
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:13.680
<v Speaker 2>on night Side, Night Side.

400
00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:18.319
<v Speaker 1>He's Dan Ray ONBS Boston's news radio.

401
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Let's keep rolling. The're going to go to Joe and Joe.

402
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:24.400
<v Speaker 8>You were next time, night Dan, Thank you for taking

403
00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:27.519
<v Speaker 8>my call. I've talked to doctor Frankie. He's very helpful.

404
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:29.960
<v Speaker 8>I have trouble with my legs. I know insurance can't

405
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:31.640
<v Speaker 8>pay for it, but if I ever get the money,

406
00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:34.319
<v Speaker 8>I'm going to have him try it on my legs,

407
00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:35.839
<v Speaker 8>you know, standing up.

408
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Fortunately, yeah, unfortunately it is not covered by insurance. But

409
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:45.319
<v Speaker 2>he tries to work with people too, so oh yeah, he's.

410
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:47.720
<v Speaker 8>A decent man. Okay, maybe you should have the guys

411
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:50.160
<v Speaker 8>on from some of these stores. That do this, because

412
00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:52.920
<v Speaker 8>I've noticed this in Walgreens. I went to buy an

413
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:57.119
<v Speaker 8>electric toothbrush the heads and they're locked up and all

414
00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:00.240
<v Speaker 8>the razors are locked up, and they told me it's

415
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:02.839
<v Speaker 8>because of stealing. And I don't like. By the way,

416
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:05.880
<v Speaker 8>these self service checkouts, I can't use them. I can't see.

417
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:08.279
<v Speaker 2>But I told them, yeah, neither do I. I can

418
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:10.799
<v Speaker 2>see and I don't use them. Yeah, and I understand it.

419
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:15.880
<v Speaker 2>The problem is their solution is is almost as bad

420
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.799
<v Speaker 2>as the problem. I mean, for them just to lock

421
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.519
<v Speaker 2>up stuff, make it more inconvenient for you, who has

422
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:26.359
<v Speaker 2>some inconvenience already. Being someone who is.

423
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:29.759
<v Speaker 8>Blind, I have to wait. Yeah, yeah.

424
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:33.680
<v Speaker 2>And all they have to do is, you know, have

425
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.440
<v Speaker 2>enough employees there who are watching when people come into stores.

426
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:42.440
<v Speaker 2>The average person is coming in to shop. There are

427
00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:45.000
<v Speaker 2>people who are coming into shoplift, but it doesn't take

428
00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:48.240
<v Speaker 2>long to spot them. Generally, they're coming in, they're looking around.

429
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:50.680
<v Speaker 2>They kind of have some that is the coast clear.

430
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:54.640
<v Speaker 2>You have all sorts of cameras, you you can you

431
00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:57.559
<v Speaker 2>can figure that stuff out. But what they've done is

432
00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:00.519
<v Speaker 2>they said, don't stop them, don't even yell them, let

433
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:02.920
<v Speaker 2>them go out. The door, that it's a cost of

434
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:06.240
<v Speaker 2>doing business, and now they figured the solution is to

435
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:07.160
<v Speaker 2>lock everything up.

436
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:12.680
<v Speaker 8>Years ago, they would have the products on the shelf,

437
00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:15.240
<v Speaker 8>but they would be tied down and somebody would come

438
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:17.079
<v Speaker 8>over and help you. And they had plenty of employees.

439
00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:20.640
<v Speaker 8>I go to CBS occasionally, there's not many employees in there.

440
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:22.640
<v Speaker 8>I couldn't believe it. One or two people.

441
00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:25.400
<v Speaker 2>I think CBS is in trouble. And the other thing

442
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:28.119
<v Speaker 2>is they have these as Rob said to me during

443
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:31.920
<v Speaker 2>the break, they have these self checkout machines.

444
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:33.200
<v Speaker 8>Well, I hate you.

445
00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:36.160
<v Speaker 2>You're telling me. Well, I don't like them either, but.

446
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:38.279
<v Speaker 8>I mean you can use them as the sight of person.

447
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:40.920
<v Speaker 4>But they using them.

448
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:43.880
<v Speaker 2>You're telling me that somebody who goes into that store

449
00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:46.799
<v Speaker 2>and is willing to steal something doesn't look at the

450
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:49.599
<v Speaker 2>opportunity of a self service machine. I'm going to go

451
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:52.200
<v Speaker 2>up there, I'm going to put one I'll pay for

452
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:54.720
<v Speaker 2>one item and I'll put another item in. I'll pay

453
00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:56.920
<v Speaker 2>for one item, I'll put two items in. I mean,

454
00:24:56.920 --> 00:24:57.640
<v Speaker 2>that's the gam thing.

455
00:24:57.720 --> 00:24:57.799
<v Speaker 4>One.

456
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.119
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, well, maybe you can have these people on as

457
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:05.599
<v Speaker 8>I guess some of the If the course, probably.

458
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:09.200
<v Speaker 2>The local manager is going to say you got to

459
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:12.039
<v Speaker 2>talk to corporate, and corporate won't talk to you, so

460
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:15.000
<v Speaker 2>I gave up. I mean I would have had someone

461
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.079
<v Speaker 2>on from Home Depot a long time ago, but I've

462
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:21.359
<v Speaker 2>given up on Home Depot. I will go to True

463
00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Value or ACE Hardware, their local stores. They may cost

464
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:27.960
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more money, but guess what I saved

465
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:30.799
<v Speaker 2>the aggravation of parking.

466
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:33.000
<v Speaker 8>And ask you one question, Dan, I have a local

467
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:35.319
<v Speaker 8>hardware store around here. They don't have a lot of

468
00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:39.519
<v Speaker 8>stuff like I'm looking for a good ice maker for

469
00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:42.279
<v Speaker 8>on the counter. I had one. It broken six months,

470
00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:45.400
<v Speaker 8>one hundred over one hundred dollars down the tubes and

471
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:47.799
<v Speaker 8>I can't find it. And the ones you find are

472
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:50.960
<v Speaker 8>four or five hundred dollars and their counter because the

473
00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:53.440
<v Speaker 8>landlord won't let us put them in here, and the

474
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:54.960
<v Speaker 8>hardware stores don't tell them.

475
00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:58.799
<v Speaker 2>I would suggest what you do is try have someone

476
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:01.640
<v Speaker 2>get you on Amazon and see what ice makers are available.

477
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:04.680
<v Speaker 8>That's where my cousin and I got this from. I

478
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:08.759
<v Speaker 8>paid her and it didn't last. It was just it went.

479
00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:12.200
<v Speaker 2>But that would be my advice. Joe, that's all right,

480
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:15.519
<v Speaker 2>probably the very nice person to ask. Okay, thanks you, Okay,

481
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:17.759
<v Speaker 2>talk to you soon. All right, we're gonna go next.

482
00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:19.640
<v Speaker 2>You've gotta get one more in here before the break.

483
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:21.839
<v Speaker 2>And it is Patricia in win Her PI.

484
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:24.519
<v Speaker 6>Patricia welcome, well zackly Tricia.

485
00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:25.880
<v Speaker 9>But that's fine Tricia.

486
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Well okay, then we'll make you know Watricia. If it's Tricia.

487
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:31.160
<v Speaker 2>There's no reason why I can't call you Tricia. It

488
00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:32.839
<v Speaker 2>says Patricia, but it's Tricia.

489
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:36.039
<v Speaker 9>That's okay, that's okay, Dan, I've talked to you before,

490
00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:39.880
<v Speaker 9>so going back with CVS, and I would like to

491
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:44.079
<v Speaker 9>know if I'm correct on this. I, you know, questioned

492
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:47.880
<v Speaker 9>about you know, the things being locked up. Now this

493
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:52.920
<v Speaker 9>saying you can get an app on your phone to

494
00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:57.400
<v Speaker 9>unlock the door of the thing, and I'm like, what,

495
00:26:57.759 --> 00:26:58.799
<v Speaker 9>why would I do this?

496
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:05.839
<v Speaker 2>Exactly all of these companies, I'm sorry, Yeah, well I

497
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:10.400
<v Speaker 2>go crazy with a Star Market. You have the app

498
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:13.359
<v Speaker 2>and you can clip coupons, and they just make it

499
00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:16.279
<v Speaker 2>so confusing. It's like, why don't you just give me

500
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:18.400
<v Speaker 2>the best price you want to give me? Okay, and

501
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:20.559
<v Speaker 2>I'll be a lawyer customer. No, they want you to

502
00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:24.359
<v Speaker 2>thank you download the apps and guess what, I'm pretty good.

503
00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:27.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty good technically I'm not the best, but I'm

504
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:28.000
<v Speaker 2>pretty good.

505
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:31.559
<v Speaker 9>And a lot of people on especially and everything. And

506
00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:35.039
<v Speaker 9>the thing that gets me, why walk it and then

507
00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:40.359
<v Speaker 9>give permission for an app to open that? So I

508
00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:42.440
<v Speaker 9>don't know if I'm talking, turn.

509
00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Talking and you're righting the money. Because as a matter

510
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:48.839
<v Speaker 2>of fact, I noticed that today when I was doing

511
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:51.440
<v Speaker 2>a little research on this, and as a matter of fact,

512
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:54.200
<v Speaker 2>it was an article I think out of let's see

513
00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:59.240
<v Speaker 2>a CNN and they were talking about, uh, retailers are

514
00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:02.039
<v Speaker 2>testing what they can call a freedom case. So far,

515
00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:07.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty six retailers are using this security device. Uh uh,

516
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:10.640
<v Speaker 2>And I guess what it is. You download the app

517
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:13.359
<v Speaker 2>and then you're standing there and you got to put

518
00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:15.799
<v Speaker 2>you got to also have your cell phone with you,

519
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:18.359
<v Speaker 2>so they're going to send you a code that you have.

520
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:20.640
<v Speaker 4>To put in activate the app.

521
00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's ridiculous. I mean, you're trying to write paste.

522
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:29.559
<v Speaker 9>The other thing is to what infuriates me the most,

523
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:32.279
<v Speaker 9>as bad as that is when you have a lot

524
00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:37.039
<v Speaker 9>of items. Oh and it's not the it's not the clerk.

525
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:39.880
<v Speaker 9>It's because they've been trained do you need a bag?

526
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yeah, Now it's they're asking you do you need

527
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:47.119
<v Speaker 2>a bag because they're going to charge you ten.

528
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:50.519
<v Speaker 9>Cents, right, But I got to change the subject for

529
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:53.359
<v Speaker 9>one moment, and I hope I'm not offending you. You

530
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:58.480
<v Speaker 9>know how you say, Charlie Ray, fourteen years everything?

531
00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:00.119
<v Speaker 2>You know when you're seen years, they're spend.

532
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:02.920
<v Speaker 9>Yeah right, yeah, I got to ask you, did you

533
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:04.039
<v Speaker 9>ever get another dog?

534
00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:08.680
<v Speaker 2>No? I didn't. However, my son and his wife have

535
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:13.240
<v Speaker 2>a dog. It's a shorty. It's part Shitsu and part Yorkie. Uh.

536
00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Great little guy looks like Willy the Wonder Dog. And

537
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:20.039
<v Speaker 2>my daughter and her husband have a dog that's a corky.

538
00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:23.960
<v Speaker 2>His name is Mustard. And I love both those dogs.

539
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:27.599
<v Speaker 2>So I you know how they say when you have grandchildren,

540
00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:32.480
<v Speaker 2>children and then you send them home, same way with dogs.

541
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:34.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean I could play with Willy the dog. I

542
00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:38.200
<v Speaker 2>can play with Mustard dog. Uh. And then then I

543
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:44.920
<v Speaker 2>have when I retire, I'll get a dog. But I

544
00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:46.759
<v Speaker 2>just ya, I got to tell you. I work all

545
00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:49.839
<v Speaker 2>day long. I mean, I started nine. I'm not crying here,

546
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:50.920
<v Speaker 2>but I'm telling.

547
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:57.440
<v Speaker 9>Because God bless you's saying that. And I've always had cats.

548
00:29:57.640 --> 00:29:59.519
<v Speaker 9>Right now, I live in a condo. I had two cats,

549
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:00.759
<v Speaker 9>and I had a put one down.

550
00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:04.960
<v Speaker 2>But do you know why I said? Do you know

551
00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:05.559
<v Speaker 2>why I said?

552
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:08.359
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I'd like to know why.

553
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:11.559
<v Speaker 2>I say it for two reasons. Well, when I started

554
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:14.799
<v Speaker 2>doing this show in two thousand and seven, Charlie was

555
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:16.680
<v Speaker 2>with me. He stayed with me for about two and

556
00:30:16.759 --> 00:30:21.960
<v Speaker 2>a half more years, and we usual, oh yeah, oh yeah,

557
00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:24.519
<v Speaker 2>sleeping in the control room at that point. He was

558
00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:28.160
<v Speaker 2>about seven and a half years old, and he would

559
00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:32.319
<v Speaker 2>he was so what a good dog and cavalier King

560
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Charles Spaniel Blenham Cavalier, which I love that that particular breed,

561
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:39.000
<v Speaker 2>So I do it as a tribute to him. But

562
00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:41.400
<v Speaker 2>I'll also tell you, I can't tell you how many

563
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:44.640
<v Speaker 2>listeners have called me and told me that they lost

564
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:47.720
<v Speaker 2>a pet. And then when I wrapped the show at

565
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:50.920
<v Speaker 2>midnight every night that all dogs, all cats, all pets

566
00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:55.240
<v Speaker 2>go to Heaven. I do believe that, because what would

567
00:30:55.240 --> 00:31:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Heaven be like if our pets weren't there? Huh?

568
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:02.720
<v Speaker 3>No?

569
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:05.960
<v Speaker 9>Is that every animal? And Noah that on the boat.

570
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:09.279
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm saying. I mean, I really don't and

571
00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:13.440
<v Speaker 2>pray that that we're all up there with our you know,

572
00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:17.440
<v Speaker 2>eventually with our parents and our siblings. And our our ancestors,

573
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:21.599
<v Speaker 2>and uh, I really animals. Sorry, you can call people,

574
00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:23.720
<v Speaker 2>call me crazy, but that's what I believe, and that's

575
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:24.839
<v Speaker 2>why I say it every night.

576
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:29.440
<v Speaker 9>I appreciate that. And I said if I call tonight

577
00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:32.720
<v Speaker 9>because it wasn't a specific subject. And I know a

578
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:36.839
<v Speaker 9>both cvs and everything, but I don't know. It's getting koogle,

579
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:38.519
<v Speaker 9>my mother used to say. And I'm going to leave

580
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:42.039
<v Speaker 9>you with this. You can do anything in this world, anything,

581
00:31:43.400 --> 00:31:45.480
<v Speaker 9>but if you can put your head on the pillow

582
00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:48.920
<v Speaker 9>and have a good night's sleep and not feel bad

583
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:49.640
<v Speaker 9>about something.

584
00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:54.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh, let me tell you, a clear conscience is a

585
00:31:54.559 --> 00:32:00.400
<v Speaker 2>right important commodity. Well, thank you, thank you.

00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:25.480
<v Speaker 7>you a compliment. That's why your show stands out when

594
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:29.480
<v Speaker 7>you do the human side of stories like this instead

595
00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:32.160
<v Speaker 7>of politics. That's why it makes your show number one

596
00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:35.319
<v Speaker 7>way back when, when I was about twenty five years old,

597
00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:37.640
<v Speaker 7>I used to steal. I'll talk about that after if

598
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:40.599
<v Speaker 7>you want to know more. But one thing you did,

599
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:43.440
<v Speaker 7>you were like in shock about employees are not doing

600
00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:46.440
<v Speaker 7>anything with somebody shoplifts at nighttime. Correct.

601
00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:51.240
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm not in shock about it. I'm in shock

602
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:55.680
<v Speaker 2>that the that the businesses don't have some sort of

603
00:32:55.720 --> 00:32:59.680
<v Speaker 2>a buzzer, particularly at night, where they can immediately contact

604
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:02.880
<v Speaker 2>the police without having to pick up the phone. Obviously,

605
00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:05.559
<v Speaker 2>if somebody walks in the store at eleven o'clock at night,

606
00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:09.119
<v Speaker 2>and you can tell by looking at the person, they're

607
00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:12.759
<v Speaker 2>looking around and they're looking pretty pretty sneaky, you know,

608
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:14.799
<v Speaker 2>be give them a buzzer ben up to say I'm

609
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:17.039
<v Speaker 2>calling the police. Just hit the buzzer and have the

610
00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:19.559
<v Speaker 2>police there within a couple of minutes.

611
00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:23.480
<v Speaker 7>You'll explain yourself nicely. Now, my question is this. Let's

612
00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:27.720
<v Speaker 7>just say somebody's working at a CBS Walgreens and it's

613
00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:30.559
<v Speaker 7>the third shift, and you know, it's twelve thirty at night,

614
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:35.599
<v Speaker 7>and they clearly see somebody stealing something and it's worth

615
00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:38.240
<v Speaker 7>a value eise anywhere from twenty five to fifty dollars

616
00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:41.240
<v Speaker 7>and they're walking in fast motion and heading to the entrance,

617
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:44.319
<v Speaker 7>and your opinion, what should that employee do.

618
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:49.519
<v Speaker 2>I think it's up one to the employee, and obviously

619
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:54.519
<v Speaker 2>it's up to the employer to direct the employee. Now again,

620
00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:57.759
<v Speaker 2>I think the best solution is not to put the

621
00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:01.279
<v Speaker 2>employee in a confrontation, a physical confrontation where he could

622
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:04.079
<v Speaker 2>be injured. He or she could be injured or worse,

623
00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:07.240
<v Speaker 2>because at that point they could have a lawsuit against

624
00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:10.320
<v Speaker 2>the employer. But again, a little what they used to

625
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:13.719
<v Speaker 2>call them in banks, like joy buttons where the person

626
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:16.800
<v Speaker 2>is robbing the bank and all the you know, you're

627
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:18.760
<v Speaker 2>not going to say to the robber, excuse me for

628
00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:21.360
<v Speaker 2>a second, I need to press this button here so

629
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:24.199
<v Speaker 2>I can alert the police. You could do that. I mean,

630
00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:26.639
<v Speaker 2>it'll cost a few bucks probably to get it installed,

631
00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:28.400
<v Speaker 2>but I think it's a hell of I think it's.

632
00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:31.760
<v Speaker 7>Worth it, very good because I was going to say,

633
00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:38.920
<v Speaker 7>confrontation between employees and shoplifters could mean death and physical

634
00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:42.639
<v Speaker 7>damage to themselves. So that's why the companies still don't

635
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:44.360
<v Speaker 7>confront them.

636
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:45.400
<v Speaker 3>As far as.

637
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:48.800
<v Speaker 7>Restaurants are concerned. I was at all of Godden today

638
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:52.280
<v Speaker 7>doing my chicken the usual chickennoki type of soup if

639
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:53.159
<v Speaker 7>you've ever heard of it.

640
00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:56.599
<v Speaker 2>My favorite restaurants. Go ahead, right.

641
00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:58.880
<v Speaker 5>What happened was the way that comes.

642
00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:02.599
<v Speaker 7>Up to me and he brought me my food. I

643
00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:06.840
<v Speaker 7>paid my bill, and he goes, wow, you're an unusual customer.

644
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:09.079
<v Speaker 7>I said, well, I want to make sure that you

645
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:11.480
<v Speaker 7>know I'm not someone who's gonna show a screw run

646
00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:14.239
<v Speaker 7>out the door. And they go, oh, that's so nice

647
00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:15.840
<v Speaker 7>of you. You know why, because we have a share

648
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:18.119
<v Speaker 7>of people that do that. They eat their meal and

649
00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:20.000
<v Speaker 7>they pretend to go to the bathroom, they go right

650
00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:20.519
<v Speaker 7>out the door.

651
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:23.760
<v Speaker 2>All right, they got a bunch of calls. They got

652
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:25.719
<v Speaker 2>to get a hit Gary before the break. Okay, man

653
00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:29.480
<v Speaker 2>to talk soon. Thanks, I appreciate your call. Let's up next.

654
00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Let me go next to real quickly. If I came

655
00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:34.519
<v Speaker 2>Corin Krinn in Bridgewater, Krin, welcome back, how are you?

656
00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:36.440
<v Speaker 5>How you doing?

657
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Ray?

658
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:39.960
<v Speaker 5>Thanks for taking my call. I'm gonna bring me Dan Dan.

659
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:41.039
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead.

660
00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:47.639
<v Speaker 5>The ironic of this is because I'm not in detail,

661
00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:50.400
<v Speaker 5>so I don't appreciate having to do it after I've

662
00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:55.039
<v Speaker 5>already worked my job all day. So yeah, But at

663
00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:58.320
<v Speaker 5>the same time, do you remember, it's like, where are

664
00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:00.800
<v Speaker 5>we going to? I'm gonna bring you way back, oh,

665
00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:05.679
<v Speaker 5>at least thirty years ago to remember service merchandise. Yeah,

666
00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:09.440
<v Speaker 5>they remember that door where they had everything so you

667
00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:11.000
<v Speaker 5>could see it and then you had to fill it

668
00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:12.960
<v Speaker 5>out and then you had to pay for it and

669
00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:16.760
<v Speaker 5>then go wait for it. We're either going to go

670
00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:19.440
<v Speaker 5>to that story or everything's going to be stores are

671
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:22.039
<v Speaker 5>shutting down left and right, and maybe everything will just

672
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:24.280
<v Speaker 5>be Amazona. We'll have to worry you're stealing from our

673
00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:27.760
<v Speaker 5>front doors. Yeah, it's just crazy.

674
00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think I think that. I guess probably the result.

675
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:40.000
<v Speaker 2>The result is all we do is do you know,

676
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:44.800
<v Speaker 2>grocery shopping over the phone, and we showed everything comes

677
00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:48.519
<v Speaker 2>out of warehouses. I think that's unfortunate in my opinion.

678
00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:53.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, I just let's yeah, let's let's let's let's

679
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:57.360
<v Speaker 2>try to get back to a decent society, a decent

680
00:36:58.199 --> 00:37:02.960
<v Speaker 2>group of people who you know, who work and and

681
00:37:03.039 --> 00:37:06.360
<v Speaker 2>who pay for what they for what they owe, you know,

682
00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:09.119
<v Speaker 2>for what they buy. I just think that exactly that

683
00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:12.079
<v Speaker 2>we are going in the wrong direction. Let's keep let's

684
00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:15.000
<v Speaker 2>see if if we can get this country back on track.

685
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:18.519
<v Speaker 5>Simple as that that's right, the ethics aren't there. But

686
00:37:18.599 --> 00:37:21.960
<v Speaker 5>my girlfriend who does work down in Florida, actually she

687
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:26.039
<v Speaker 5>worked for a sporting goods store, which we're all familiar with,

688
00:37:26.719 --> 00:37:29.519
<v Speaker 5>and she ended up leaving there because she was so

689
00:37:29.719 --> 00:37:35.719
<v Speaker 5>angry because she was told told to You see them

690
00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:38.360
<v Speaker 5>stuff in their bags. You see them stuffing their shirts

691
00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:43.679
<v Speaker 5>with all sorts of clothing and expensive items, and they

692
00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:47.079
<v Speaker 5>don't want anybody saying anything. They just let them go it.

693
00:37:47.239 --> 00:37:50.280
<v Speaker 5>So the store has a reputation for this, and she says,

694
00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:52.880
<v Speaker 5>it's not just us, it's all around us. This is well.

695
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Once once that they know, once that the bad guys

696
00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:58.719
<v Speaker 2>know what the stores are not going to do, they'll

697
00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:02.320
<v Speaker 2>go right ahead and and they make themselves a target.

698
00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:06.159
<v Speaker 2>It's like open season. I got to keep rolling here, Corina,

699
00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:09.599
<v Speaker 2>I will talk toon. Okay, thank you so much? All

700
00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:12.039
<v Speaker 2>right by about all right? Let me, I gotta go

701
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:14.800
<v Speaker 2>quickly here. I'm gonna you know what, I don't want

702
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:17.559
<v Speaker 2>to short change these guys. So that's that's not fair.

703
00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:20.360
<v Speaker 2>What have we got? Only a minute? Phil and Alex

704
00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:22.800
<v Speaker 2>you stay there. I'll take you guys on the other side.

705
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:25.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to short change anyone I'm willing to

706
00:38:25.719 --> 00:38:29.039
<v Speaker 2>carry this topic over simply because I think people are

707
00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:31.199
<v Speaker 2>interested in it, so I can reset it. On the

708
00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:34.480
<v Speaker 2>other side of the ten, Phil and Alex will be

709
00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:37.800
<v Speaker 2>first up, and I'd like you to join the conversation.

710
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:40.599
<v Speaker 2>What can we do about this? This is something that

711
00:38:41.639 --> 00:38:44.639
<v Speaker 2>is corrosive to the core of our society, that there's

712
00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:47.639
<v Speaker 2>a certain element of people who now feel they can

713
00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:50.480
<v Speaker 2>walk into stores and walk out, and we're all paying

714
00:38:50.519 --> 00:38:53.360
<v Speaker 2>a price. We're paying a price in terms of more

715
00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:56.119
<v Speaker 2>expensive products that we pay for when we buy them,

716
00:38:56.400 --> 00:38:59.559
<v Speaker 2>and also more inconvenience when we have to wait to

717
00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:04.280
<v Speaker 2>have a store item like toothpaste or deorder it. Someone

718
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:06.920
<v Speaker 2>come with a lock and key to open it up

719
00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:10.880
<v Speaker 2>so I can buy a nine dollars item. That's ridiculous.

720
00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Back on Night's side, got a couple of lines open.

721
00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:16.440
<v Speaker 2>We'll keep going six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty,

722
00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:19.000
<v Speaker 2>six one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty. I wasn't

723
00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:21.000
<v Speaker 2>going to show change either Fill or Alex. They'll be

724
00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:23.280
<v Speaker 2>first up. You'll be after that. Give us a call.
