The tattoos should be helpful for identification – thank you, thank you very much. It’s also well beyond the time when anyone wearing a mask may be excused as if warding off germs, especially one covering the nose! Store employees, at least be on the alert for crooks. Remember, “The weed of crime bears bitter fruit!”
Store employees are not responsible for stopping thefts, their wages do not meet that criteria
