Fear of being caught on tape is rarely a deterrent to Australian Beauty Salon Gang Rapists. There've been studies.

Classic, let's agree to disagree. I know I would find it difficult to be a customer in such an establishment. You would feel safer, it seems.
There can be no meeting of the minds here.

Individuals may prefer a business environment with no CCTVs. Businesses may prefer one where every action and transaction of employees is monitored and filmed. All we really know is that if there was no video surveillance many of the programs on Fox and Spike would be canceled due to lack of new material.

Pie - I'm willing to agree to disagree - Lord knows it wouldn't be the first time, but please let me ask you this. Do you go to a bank or a 7-11 or any other convenience store, a department store, a Home Depot or Lowe's, a supermarket of virtually any kind or ever use an ATM? If so, I really do not understand the difference. All of the aforementioned have cctv systems in place.

I am trying to see your point here and for whatever reason - perhaps I'm just that dense - I'm not getting it. What exactly is the negative to Ducks protecting her interests and possibly her employees from theft, false accusation via accident or any other malicious intent from internal or external individuals? This could simply be viewed as prevention for a situation much like that which has already occurred.

If I were in Duck's position, this recent situation would have been a bit of a wake up call I suspect. The simple fact is, that there are dishonest people all over the place. Sure there are plenty more honest people, but when it all comes down to it, we've probably all been caught out by someone we trusted at some stage in our lives.

As a business owner, she can't claim her (larger) losses on tax or insurance if she has no evidence that her losses weren't soley out of her control. Having a security camera on the till in future is a wise investment and I'd recommend it. Along with detering staff from putting sticky fingers in the till, it might just deter a real live robbery.

There's also the chance that one's spouse is cheating, so do you have video cameras hidden in your bedroom?

Now, you know it has nothing to do with the impossibility of my spouse cheating... And I really wish you'd stop telling people the secrets to my financial success. Those tapes are valuable, I tell you! Valuable!!

Well, sometimes there's a camera in the room...but it's not hidden.

I for one cannot wait until Nov 4th, so that everyfuckingthing, including theft mitigation options in another fucking country will no longer have to be argued from a liberal/conservative perspective. Jesus fucking christ on a popcicle stick.

That's why I haven't been responding full-out to cm, for what it's worth.I'm fed up with the talking-head mentality too.

What makes you think there'll be any difference in the way things are discussed on the cellar.org after the 4th of Nov? Do you really think it'll make much difference regardless of who wins?

*sigh* its not getting any better...I'm tempted to sack them all and start again.

We are having a meeting tonite to talk about things that are shitting everybody.

Re: the camera, the girls are *really* edgy at the moment, and feeling particularly hen picked, which wont be any better after tonite....apparently the time from 9-10 am is for breakfast that you didnt have at home and to apply your make-up so I wont be doing anything with it at this stage.

Horse dude and I can probably make use of it
