      Can confirm, worked as a security in my early 20s. Training was minimal and they didn’t pay me enough to care or even stay awake oftentimes. Training consisted of few hours of legal side and just an hour of grappling, which was optional.

      Most of the work is done through camers, so if one is fast enough. They can get away with whatever they chose to take.

      This one time i got sent to some fancier store on a day someone chose to take a fancy bottle of wine, nearly 1000€. He got away with it as well. He asked clerk to see it and as soon as the clerk handed him the bottle. He ran for it and by the time security could react. We just saw his back in the distance running away.

          Yeah, opt-out option was meant more for older people or for women. As I’m neither i was highly encouraged to opt-in. Though even that was kinda pointless. Most of the time it was instructor explaining and demonstrating and then we could try out few moves, once, with a co-operating opponent, who did half the job of falling down as well.
