I think the store clerks should have a button they can push to lock the perp inside until police arrive. I think people in this town are tired of being robbed and broken into by all the drugies and lowlifes. Just a few weeks ago my husband and I where at the same Macs and a guy literally walks in grabs up a bunch of stuff he wants and walks right out the damn door. The cashier was working ALONE and said there was nothing she could do because she can’t leave the store unattended to chase after him so he got away scott free????????????? That is NOT RIGHT!I watched the guy go in and come out and thought to myself wow how did he get done so fast, then my husband came back from paying for our gas and told me what had happened.
Thing is with that.. the clerk is putting themselves in danger being locked up with the criminal!
