Many of them do have serious brainworms, but so do plenty of other workers. Security is not cops lol, that’s a serious insult we should not just throw around at anybody. Cops have real power over people and every single one of them has agreed to use that power, violently, to oppress workers. 90% of security does literally nothing and most of the other 10% still say “if the boss tells me to do violence against someone i will say no because I don’t get paid enough for that”
That’s a very white comment. Security of various stripes exist on a spectrum of course, but denying their propensity to play pseudo cop and to engage in enforcement of racist and class based oppression is ignorant.
Anyone can play pseudo cop, nothing about the job of security requires that. Unlike, you know, being a cop.
But yeah fuck it whatever, starbucks baristas are landlords too. Just say whatever. Words don’t mean anything.
Yeah man, the people who follow poc around in shops or keep them out of places of business aren’t part of a racist culture and pointing that out is the same as calling a barista a landlord. You sure are making a point.
A security guard gets a special uniform, sometimes a badge, the authority to use force, and is the first point of contact in any emergency.
A barista is expected to tell a homeless guy he can’t use the bathroom without buying something then calling the cops when he pisses on the floor. Most jobs involving “reporting” and “gatekeeping” is this.
