Some of them are on social media, etc saying they're just gonna steal what they need, and fight anyone in their way. This threat is probably most plausible in California, and a few other shithole states.
Fellas, if you or someone you know works in management at Walmart, Kroger, etc, here's what I would do, and what I suggest: give your cashiers mace, and you yourself should be packing (in compliance with state law, store policy, etc). Advertise on social media that shoplifting or violence will *not* be tolerated at your location, and you will call the police and defend yourselves.
That way, if one of these thugs does try to break the law (which, let's be honest, would land anyone of us in jail), you or your staff can defend yourselves.
