We’re learning more about an attempted robbery at Euphorium pot shop in Covington in King County. A would-be robber was shot dead there Thursday night. And an employee who happens to be the ID checker at the front door is now being called a hero.
Police in Tacoma were investigating after a worker at a marijuana shop, was fatally shot during a robbery Saturday evening. It is the second fatal shooting at a marijuana dispensary in as many days in Western Washington.
When David Longwell left his house to pick up some food and traffic hit a standstill, he figured there had been another crash on E. Portland Ave. in Tacoma.
Law enforcement and members of his family gathered Saturday to escort the body of Pierce County Sheriff's Deputy Dom Calata from St. Joseph's Medical Center to the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office.

Security guards are hired for insurance purposes since insurance providers won't cover you unless you demonstrate that you hire staff paid to protect assets, deter theft, and keep the peace. It's the same reason retail stores hire loss prevention employees and why bars hire bouncers. That being said, because security and loss prevention tends to be way more aggressive than even the police, they're a HUGE liability issue and so should be hired with caution. It takes only one injured customer to go out of business. And the money won't come out of the security guard's pocket, it'll come out of yours.

The problem is that the bank would only be able to conduct business inside the state of Washington. And they would probably be limited on how many clients that they can run payment processing for as a small operation.

It should be life no parole if you rob a store especially with a gun

Not too long ago I recall the mantra for stoners was no one ever robs a store high on weed.

Moral of the story: Unsuccuccessful businesses will not be ready to deal with theft effectively. Successful businesses will be armed and ready. The problem fixes itself.

This might be karma for getting marijuana legalised on the backs of the truly sick. Yes, freely give it to cancer patients and others with horrible ailments. The rest of you don’t “need” it. It’s not necessary and certainly not a folk hero. I’m ok with such news.

I wouldn't say a thing. Oppression needs to stop, pot shops are compliant and complicit to the evils of corporate statehood.

Seems a two door system where there is a metal detector you walk through would be a good idea. If the detector goes off you don't get access to the store.
