They used to have security but they
didn't wanna pay the money to have some there.

I go there a lot, even that late and never have
any trouble but there are some sketchy people there.

That sucks because its not that bad of an area.

since my brain goes off on tangents..

security outside of convenient stores is crazy.
what would someone in the 50s think?
they have actual cops outside of the home depot i go to.
because of the illegals?
probably because of the high end items there.
what if someone ran out with a chainsaw?
and the cop couldn't catch him..
what if he yelled "stop or i'll shoot" and the guy doesn't stop?
the cop can't shoot his gun in the air.. or into the ground to frighten the guy.
if i was a cop i'd carry firecrackers and light them off to scare the guy into stopping
would a "black cat" not be convincing?
would an m80 be overkill?
would i get in trouble for lighting the fireworks since they're illegal?
nah, i'm a cop, i stopped a crime, it'd be all good.
although it wouldn't be too long before criminals knew i was bluffing.
then it'd be useless.
it would've been neat while it lasted.

this is the 73 seconds in my head after every single thing i might start thinking about. ever.

well, i asked one of these cops at a frys one time why publicly paid servants are being used for private corporate function and he gave me the real answer: they are off duty and get paid by frys to wear the uniform. if they shot anyone it would be a HUGE mess for them. i doubt any except the craziest would ever do that. cops may suck as a rule, but they also dont like having to put themselves in a paperwork coma.

I was only borrowing that chainsaw because this guy
outside the Depot offered me $50 to trim his tree.

...and sleep with his wife while he watched.

it's my heel and my shoulder.. but no.. that's about 90% of my waking life right there. inner dialogue that makes no sense to write down or remember 99% of the time.

If you are a Reserve officer (3 weeks of unpaid cop work a year or something i think) then you can get those security jobs w/ the unifrom and make $$$.
But you would be a reserve pig, and fuck the man!

the home depot is actually a beat for the phoenix cops - they're real and they're on duty. an interesting aside: the officer who was involved in the anti sb1070 lawsuit was/is a home depot cop.
