It is horseshit. No manager is going to condone a racial discrimination button under the counter, or trust moron employees not to use it like wildfire. It's all automated. You can use aluminum to prevent it from recognizing things in your backpack. That's how the pro's steal.

Its an excuse to check certain people, the alarm just gives the guise of just cause.

You've never worked retail, have you? No one cares on that level if they make $8 an hour.

I always forgot about that. Ahhh working for shit and not caring.

AMERICA FUCK YEAH!

Heh, the theft orientation video at my last job was basically just one big string of awesome tips for stealing, like that.
