How would you protect Target from Looters?

[Bionicle of War]

You're working the night shift at Target in Minneapolis. You stand apprehensively behind the register, tasting the scent of gasoline and burning rubber in the air. The fluorescent lights above you flicker and spark. Outside the window, the street is illuminated by the reddish glow of countless burning store fronts. You can hear the angry chanting of the mob as they creep ever closer.

All your possible escape routes have been cut off. You're only hope for survival is to secure the building as much as possible. How would you keep the looters out of the building? Failing that, how would you defend yourself?

 

[OrionBalls]

I wouldn't protect the store from anything. "Sure, take the money. If I try to stop you from shoplifting, Target will fire me outright, because I'm not allowed, and besides, they have tons of insurance. Just take the stuff and go, please." Or, I would just climb up into the sky shelves, and avoid the whole mess.

Now, in my own little store, it would be one hundred percent different. I promise to never pull out a gun that I'm not prepared to use.

 

[Vingle]

Gun, it's self defence.

 

[Crabbo]

Step 1?
Move the damned target out of nignog land.

Failing that. There isn't anything legal.

Maybe move all the items of value off site? Remove the tvs and shoes, empty registers and leave them open.

 

[DumbDude42]

does the building have a singular entrance that can be used as a choke point? if yes, lock my rifle on that entrance and hold out until dawn.
if no, abandon the site entirely, cause i probably am not getting paid enough to risk my life for the corporation.

 

[Marissa Moira]

Make the stores look like Bailbond centers from the outside.

 

[Margo Martindale]

Say they dont pay me enough for dealing with this shit and leave

 

[Marissa Moira]

>name stores Target
>get mad when people target them

Like fucking wow, DSP could be a CEO and could have done a better job foreseeing this problem.

 

[healslut]

Why would I care about defending a Target when I'm being paid minimum wage?

 

[Klaptrap]

I plan to hang out by the Icee machine and munch popcorn, maybe sneak out while they're busy grabbing TVs.

 

[737 MAX Stan Account]

Build a moat/swimming pool around it.

 

[MrTroll]

I'd protect the store's precious stockpile of high-end consumer electronics, by valiantly moving as much of them as I could carry to my car and then driving off while security is distracted by the looting scum.

 

[SIGSEGV]

Landmines and IEDs.

 

[millais]

Barricade the front entry with the paperback books, Father's Day greeting cards, and school supplies, as the ultimate nig deterrent

 

[Lovecraft's Cat]

There's many ways to stop the looting:

• Politely ask them to stop
• Tell them that what they're doing is illegal
• Just give them what they want
• Try and reason with them
• Talk about each other's feelings
• Just say "No"
• Tell a trusted adult like your mom or dad

I could go on, but I think you get the idea.

 

[OfficerBagget]

Its fucking Target. Why am I going to protect that strip mall hell spawn?.

 

[Un Platano]

Go to the produce section and hide under the vegetables. They'll never find me there.

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

Build a gun that fires soap.

 

[Some JERK]

They still sell bleach, ammonia, and kiddie swimming pools at Target, right? It doesn't have to be much, just enough to make that little entrance "airlock" too uninhabitable for anyone to break through the barricaded inner doors.

It really depends on the resources you have on hand, but something like this:

Now, this is really for older versions, but you can easily modify something like this. Either way, it's a decent setup to control a horde of raiders.
