I was in Whataburger today (brief aside: does anyone disagree that Whataburger has the best fast food?) eating lunch, when I looked up and saw the exit. Directly to the right of the door was a measuring tape–you know the ones you see at 7-Eleven which “help” to identify the height of a criminal leaving the store.
First of all–why do we need this piece of tape? The door is 6′-8″ tall, and you could easily pinpoint someone’s height from a surveillance camera.
And secondly, don’t you think by placing it on the door, you are, in effect, saying, “I know we’re going to get robbed sometime. It’s inevitable. This sticker will help us put the criminal in jail for 6 months.” I’m probably wrong, but I don’t see it as being helpful for catching the criminal. It just serves to remind every guest that this store will be robbed at some point.
