No, Mr. Schrumpf. He's saying that they should
engage in actually monitoring their store to see
what people are doing that might be suspicious of
stealing instead of simply taking the easy way out and
harrassing all their customers because they are too lazy
to put in the necessary leg work to tend to their own
store. Trent is NOT saying, "Oh, let's just harrass all
the ,"
and I'm not sure how you could possibly have reasonably
interpreted it that way.
