> mostly keep to the hotels and convention center

It's pretty much this + restaurants in the area. So the cultural district and the strip will probably be pretty busy. The parade is the only thing that seems to cause any congestion in my experience.

No? It's hotel rooms, for Anthrocon, which makes it pretty easy to assume they're contracted.

Remember it? I can hear that place!

That looks super cool.

Solid! I notice a lot of people bringing their stuff in. I believe they also donate anything they don't keep, which is a plus.

CD Warehouse over in Greensburg is another option if you don't mind the trip. I can't speak to whether their buying prices are fair or not, but I like stopping in there as a customer!

I hope they at least get picked up by someone willing to do a deal with more of the streaming tv providers.

The comments in that article make it seem like they're behind the times internally too.

So, I'm coming from it from the perspective of the lower end of the ranks here. Staff that might not have enough vacation time accrued for this mandatory policy, for example. If they're made whole, I believe there would be a lower risk. That also includes more than pay for sure. That's providing them respect and solid feedback. Making them feel seen, if you get what I'm saying.

It kind of reminds me of loss prevention practices for retail, honestly. Usually, the most effective thing you can do to prevent theft is just saying hello to people. So in this case, it's more being a good manager and touching base with your staff frequently enough that they feel seen, but not too much that they feel smothered.

I think you're right about access, just having access to that information is a risk factor. Everyone's motivation is different. But pay is a crucial factor in reducing risk. It might not help against someone that's already greedy, but it could prevent someone that's just desperate from making a mistake.

It does. It feels like they skip the part where treating workers well means they're less likely to pull sneaky shit.

Which is totally cool, if you get paid for it.

It really did. We used to go there all the time. I miss their fries!
