Of course it's brilliant and economic. Lights in the coolers in stores turn on as you walk past then turn off but...hey WTF do I know? It's cheaper for box stores to keep paid human eyes on high end goods at all times rather than automate. Must be nice to have the cash for all this man hours and bennys. The funding must come from the energy saved by turning off low watt LED cooler lights?

Ok then, that should be nice and easy for you to prove that anyone of these use the sophisticated surveillance systems that you have been crowing about since you obviously know the area. I'll have the salt ready for when you make me eat crow.
come on gerryh,let it be,noone has to prove anything on this forum,just take all the information face value and more so who is delivering the message,not saying there is anything with sweet petro's blogs,
noone has to prove anything,let it be.

You just found out it was a box store in central Winnipeg and I'm the idiot?
i never called you an idiot,actually the opposite,i am always interested in your content.


It's a big assed box store not a podunk small town rexall.
this is even stranger,then again the whole security thing i have my questions,but in truth i know little about this design.

Even further back in the gooder older days...well before that you had to ask the clerk to let you look at something in a store...you couldn't just pick it up like now.

In the really good old days before the Roman Empire was born you knew how to grow your own medicine.

some still do. Met a gentleman walking his dog in the local park. He was from Poland originally and his dog was quite old. The dog had some inflammation on it's back foot on the pad part. He took the dog into the vet when it developed diarrhea. He had the vet look at the swollen pad. The vet said approx $500 surgery would fix it. He'd paid $200 already to have the dog seen by the vet and blood work. He was told the dog might not survive!. He chose to use chamomile on the foot instead of surgery and within a week, the foot was fine. He had to get the word chamomile translated first.

When he was telling me this story, he'd tried to describe what plant it was because he only knew the polish name and bought the tea from the polish deli up the road from us. He ended up going back home and ripping off the top of the tea box and giving it to me so I could find out what kind of flower had healing, anti inflammation and anti infection properties. I hadn't known it could do that until now.
