Reply to comment by mistie_gish in Why does the Edgewood Giant Eagle have a greeter? by tarsier_jungle1485

I've only ever seen security guards at grocery stores in bad parts of town, specifically in Memphis TN on a work trip.

I'm not familiar with the Edgewood Giant Eagle - Is it a particularly bad? I know when the Aliquippa Giant Eagle started selling beer they had a lot of problems with people grabbing it and walking out through the produce/entrance without paying, and even they don't have a security guard/greeter.

A lot of stores- grocery and other- began putting security guards in place during peak COVID to help enforce masking, social distancing, and capacity rules. While a lot of the rules have been relaxed, the tensions that could cause issues still exist, so many places have elected to keep security in place.
