LCBO / The Beer Store

[PL1]

Just doing some Christmas shopping this week, went to three different LCBO's in the GTA, they all had police officers at the door. Imagine what that must be costing the LCBO? It wasn't that long ago you would never see a cop working as a security guard at a store or LCBO, seems to be the norm these days.

Yonge and Eg, Coxwell and O'Connor, and Danforth/Greenwood did not. But I should mention that someone did shoplift from Danforth and Greenwood while I was there (Sunday). The other two, had security guards.

I also observed duty officers working security at LCBO, in suburban Mississauga.
