I had to complain to my bank because they were literally shaking people down at the ATM. God forbid they just leave those people alone. The local Target shop at the mall did not want their customers harassed by them, so instead of just honoring that request they set up as near to the mall entrance to their store but on the malls side. The people they help no longer man the begging stations they pay people to do that now and they are very aggressive. Now they have these custom made begging kettles and are in front of every store and even banks, It seems 2/3 of every buck you give them they use to set up another location to hit you up for another donation at. When I was a kid they would have a couple of people they were helping in front of one store with a coffee can with a slit in the lid. I also have issues with the salvo army on the begging front. Sadly much quicker and easier to just go across the street to the dump. The people at the salvo paw through every box and are not at all concerned that they are taking an hour and leaving you with 90% of the crap you wanted to donate. The salvo army is so bad I suggest people just go right to the dump. The dump has tipping and permit fees and I won’t go there w/o being paid. If someone wants me to take a load of stuff to one of them I have to warn them up front ot call and end pix and verify they will take everything or else they risk my bringing what they would not take back and I expect to get paid for the two way run. Anything worth anything now goes to auction at, no good deals to the local community ma d they are picky as hell about what they will accept. Now they are all about their missions and making the biggest buck. Thrift shops pretty much all suck now, for both giving and buying.

If it were up to us, we would probably pick something that receives power wirelessly using a coil and requires a unique code.
HOME DEPOT TOOL BOX BLUETOOTH
Something like a Bluetooth activated relay is one option, or maybe even something that is integrated directly in the motor controller. We would be really interested in getting our hands on one of these power tools to see what this kill switch looks like and how it works. Although persistent criminals might find a way to deactivate this feature, it sounds like Home Depot is hoping that will be just enough trouble to convince most criminals to look for easier targets somewhere else. While many stores put high value items in locked display cases, Home Depot felt that this tactic would negatively affect sales, so they partnered with suppliers to add an internal kill switch. One thief was recently arrested after stealing more than $17,000 worth of power tools from Home Depot. To combat this, Home Depot is starting to sell power tools that will not work unless they are activated at the checkout counter.Īccording to a 2020 survey in the US, “organized retail crime” cost retailers $719,548 per $1 billion dollars in revenue. Shoplifting is a major problem for many brick-and-mortar retail stores, and it seems that stealing and then selling power tools is a lucrative enterprise for some criminals.
