#1 "When you have the impact of having someone come in and wander around the store and then grab a jersey and a hat and pull out a machete and walk out, it does have an issue with your ability to recruit and retain employees," Friedman said.

I laughed, not because this is funny, but because that is an absolute dead pan of truth.

#2 We're talking about six figures [in losses]

He'll wish he had paid that in salaries for security when he gets sued by an employee or customer that survives the machete.

#3 And all the libs in Denver that voted for the current admin deserve nothing less. Good thing I didn’t leave anything behind in Denver.

#4 So: do I have this right? In order to buy something at this store, *I* have to pay a extra 1% for the privilege of shopping there? Not because I have done anything wrong, but because the police, courts and DA refuse to enforce the law.
Riiiiight!

#5 Good thing I didn’t leave anything behind in Denver.

Costs go up, prices go up. It is annoying to see it broken out and called a 'fee', but that is probably the point. Sounds like the local pols could use a bit of feedback. Or horsewhipping.
