Looking back on YouTube, I found a video from KTVU's Page showing the beginning of the Romper Room I grew up on in the early to mid 1980s, before being home-schooled by my Mom.

So, here are my memories of Romper Room, as well as it's history of how it came to be, all the way back in 1953.

Lawmakers in California are hoping to push through controversial legislation that would ban retail staff from stopping thieves stealing from their stores.

Senate Bill 553, which was submitted by Senator Dave Cortese, has been passed by the State Senate and will now progress to policy committees in the State Assembly. Cortese hopes the proposed law will prevent workplace violence and protect staff from being forced by their employers to step-in during robberies. But some store bosses are furious about the plans, with the California Retailers Association mocking the move as an open invitation for thieves "to come in and steal."

The political wrangling in California comes just weeks after Home Depot security guard Blake Mohs, 26, was shot to death during an attempted robbery in Pleasanton, California. Other cities in the state are also facing their own problems as they attempt to deal with lawlessness.

San Francisco has been gripped by a crimewave that has seen Whole Foods close its downtown location after just a year of business, with bosses saying they were unable to "ensure the safety" of their staff in the city. Nordstrom followed suit by leaving the city this month, but many smaller businesses have had no choice but to remain, despite attacks on their premises.

The proposed new laws come as stores have blamed shoplifting for hitting their businesses, with Target issuing a statement in November blaming "organized retail crime" for an eye-watering $400 million loss in its profits in 2022.

Cortese, a Democrat representing Santa Clara County, told Fox 2/KTVU: "More recently, we've seen another spike in retail violence; [At] Safeways, Home Depots, it just seems to be happening every other day... What we're saying in the bill is it's not ok for employers to take a rank-and-file worker, somebody whose job is really something else... and say, 'Hey, you know, if there's an intruder we're going to deputize you to intervene.' People get hurt and often killed that way."

A statement issued by Cortese's office noted that assaults in stores rose during the pandemic, citing 2022 analysis by the New York Times, which found that assaults in grocery stores increased by 63 percent from 2018 to 2020, and assaults in convenience stores grew by 75 percent. The statement added that workplace violence is the second leading cause of fatal occupational injury.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates that workplace violence affects nearly 2 million workers each year, with female staff suffering from higher rates of nonfatal injuries than their male counterparts.

A retail security survey published in 2022 by the National Retail Federal (NRF) also suggested the issue may be getting worse. The annual survey of the retail industry's loss prevention professionals found that "retail shrink is an almost $100 billion problem."

According to the survey, retailers blamed "external theft" for the greatest portion of "shrink" at 37 percent, while 28.5 percent was deemed to be the result of "employee/internal theft." The difference was made up by various factors, including processing and control failures. The survey found that 37.9 percent of respondents replied that no associates were allowed to apprehend shoplifters in their organizations.

The California bill, if enacted in law, would require employers to provide active-shooter training to workers, keep a log of any violent incidents, and allow companies to apply for workplace violence restraining orders.

But Rachel Michelin, president of the California Retailers Association, told Fox 2/KTVU: "This bill goes way too far, number one, where I think it will open the doors even wider for people to come in and steal from our stores."

And she added that most stores already prevent ordinary workers from confronting shoplifters, saying that most hire employees specifically trained in theft prevention for that purpose. "It [the bill] says no employee can approach someone who's shoplifting, so even if someone is trained on how to deter someone from doing that, now they're not allowed to approach someone. So what does that mean? We are opening up the doors to allow people to just walk into stores, steal, and walk out."

Newsweek is attempting to seek clarification on how the law applies to staff such as trained security guards.

Newsweek has also reached out to Senator Cortese and the California Retailers Association for further information and comment. Several large retailers, including Target and Walmart, have also been approached for comment about the proposed law.

The bill is currently subject to adjustments as it progresses through the State Assembly's policy committees.

Judge Rules in Favor of Store Employee Fired for Trying to Stop Thief

https://www.newsmax.com/us/california-safeway-shoplifting/2024/03/07/id/1156368/

A longtime Safeway employee from San Mateo, California, has won a court victory after she was terminated for trying to stop a suspected shoplifter, FOX-KTVU out of Oakland has reported.

Antoinette Baez was fired Feb. 2, 2023 after she attempted to stop an alleged shoplifter. Safeway policy prohibits employees from chasing, touching, or pursuing a suspected thief, according to attorney Neil Eisenberg who represented Baez.

Baez had noticed a woman attempting to leave the store without paying and subsequently contacted her supervisor, David Arevelos, who then confronted the woman.

In a video released by Baez's attorney, she recounted the events that unfolded.

"I said, 'Your transaction is still on the screen. You haven't paid for anything,'" Baez recalled telling the woman, who denied the allegation and tried to leave with the merchandise.

In the video, Baez is shown trying to grab the grocery bags the woman was holding. Baez says she was aware of the store policy regarding theft and tried to remain calm during the incident.

"That kept playing in my head, like don't go outside, don't go after her, and don't touch her," Baez explained.

It was then that the altercation became physical, as Arevelos attempted to prevent Baez from being punched by the alleged shoplifted.

The woman left the store without any of the groceries and Baez then called the store's director.

"He was very understanding, compassionate; he's like: 'I'm sorry that happened; I'm glad everyone's OK,'" Baez recalled, adding, "No disciplinary actions were taken against me."

Less than a month later, both Arevelos and Baez were eventually dismissed.

Following a lengthy legal back and forth, Baez and her attorney won the claim they filed with the state Employee Development Department. The new ruling awarded Baez unemployment back dated to her point of termination, almost a full year.

However, Eisenberg confirmed his client has not received an apology from Safeway, nor an offer to have her employment reinstated.

"This is probably the dumbest, cruelest incident I've seen in my entire practice," he said, adding that he feels Safeway has created an open-door policy for theft.

"You are better off stealing from Safeway than paying for your goods or your groceries, because when you pay for your goods or your groceries, you are absorbing the cost of shoplifting," the attorney said.

"If you're shoplifting, you get to go free, no consequences."

Oakland's largest employer has reportedly told workers that due to safety concerns in the city, taking breaks indoors is recommended. 

KTVU first reported that Kaiser Permanente, which was founded in 1945 and is headquartered in Oakland, has recommended employees "stay in their buildings for lunch and work, in response to street robberies of workers who went out to grab something to eat." Kaiser's main corporate office is located in the Ordway building at 1 Kaiser Plaza by Lake Merritt. The memo, which was issued last month, also reportedly advised employees to avoid in-person meetings, if possible, and only recommended the Claremont Hotel in the Berkeley Hills for out-of-town guests.

"Those recommendations remain in place for now," Kaiser Permanente said in a statement to multiple media outlets. "Kaiser Permanente is committed to ensuring the safety and security of our employees and physicians across all of our locations. We continually monitor our environments for concerns, review our practices and strengthen them wherever possible." 

According to the Oakland Police Department’s crime statistics, violent crime, which it defines as homicide, aggravated assault, rape or robbery, went up 23% from 2022 to 2023. Oakland police took 3,687 reports of robbery last year compared to 2,680 in 2022, and an astonishing 17,239 reports of burglary. That number has been steadily rising, from 10,584 in 2021 and 13,994 in 2022. Residential, vehicle and commercial burglaries are combined to find that number. 

Kaiser's news was met with consternation by local businesses, which are already struggling with lower foot traffic and crime. "I don't think you want to discourage people from walking around and kind of give in to the bad elements that are running around," one 19th and Franklin cafe owner told KTVU. "I think quite the opposite: I think that if there are more people on the streets, there will be less incidences."

Last February, Kaiser decided to move about 10% of its Oakland workforce, amounting to approximately 1,200 employees, to its Pleasanton campus. At the time, it cited decreasing numbers of in-office Oakland workers due to remote or hybrid work. A Kaiser spokesperson told SFGATE it was “exploring options for potential future use” at its offices at 1950 Franklin St. and 1800 Harrison St. in Oakland, which the spokesperson said were barely used since the pandemic.

While I do not find crime of any sort amusing, I have to admit, the fact it happened to a judge in a deep blue Soros funded area does make me smile just a bit.
