I bet walmart is pretty reich about it but for every customer i noticed walking out the door in my retail job my co workers basically stole hundreds or thousands of percent more in straight up cash and not an individial chip bag sold by the box of boxes we ordered in bulk

Edit: management was aware and didnt give a gently caress lol

Really it depends on what is reasonable, which pretty much means 'well what are other big box stores doing?' If WalMart is the only one calling out the cops to chase drunks away and other petty poo poo like that then yeah they're clearly wasting tax money.


yeah that's kinda one of the major points of the article I linked, that Target stores don't call the cops nearly as much as Walmarts do even when they are across the street from each other.

because Target has security guards like any other big business does and doesn't pass what are just basic costs of doing business onto the taxpayer

in fact if the police visit walmart at the frequency of a quartz crystal, 32,768 Hz, they'll be getting 393216 per second!

that's 33973862400 donuts per day! Wow!

the immunity police carry is with their vehicles at most. Which is why rookies drive like poo poo and bust up city property/road works, but not against private parties that's pretty lol. cops don't like chargers because the equipment made it too tight for more 'rounded' officers to work.

I could afford it, I'm just amazed that the costs are so high.

Dental insurance is garbage have you seen the terms? Fat deductibles, low 'max out' level, ugh. After you consider the cash discount most dentists will give you (usually at least 10% but I've gotten 20-25% off) it's just not even worth it.

I mean if you're expecting to have a lot of work done sure maybe.

when I had fakeass "dental insurance" it required me to use specific dentists that were so expensive that I was better off just going to an off-plan dentist and paying out of pocket

I refuse to brush my teeth before going to the dentist. I don't clean my apartment before my cleaning lady comes, so why should I do a half assed job when I'm about to pay someone to professionally clean my teeth and tell me I'm not doing a good job anywyas? Earn that deductible you mouth janitor.

I will agree with you completely here.

I have a family of 5 and we pay around 800 dollars a year for minimum coverage.

So far the only thing any of us have done at the dentist for the last 10 years is get cleanings every year. That's 70 dollars per cleaning 350 bucks a year. I've been talking to my wife and we're probably going to drop dental because we actually have the funds to cover braces for my one child who's going to need them in 7 years or so.

Its sometimes called "qualified immunity" and it protects cops from civil suits for things like punching, arresting, shooting, restraining people etc., all of which would be actionable civil claims amongst private individuals, if they do these things while acting in the line of duty.

You can still sue the city itself for the officer's actions right?

Yes but the taxpayer still ends up paying for things like a wrongful death payout.

All muni PDs have insurance programs to cover the above situation.

Its complicated, but if its wrongful conduct, then yes, either the city, or the cop individually.
