Of course it means that there is less and more egregious forms of policing people than others,what else could it possibly mean. The guy who follows me around the store because of my skin color is not as bad as what armed private security can get up to, and the guy denying black and brown men entry into venues based on racism is closer to the first than the second, but in all cases security is doing policing of poc with either the explicit threat of violence or the implicit threat of summoning the police to do violence.
Edit: And equating this with calling cashiers cops is incredibly lame of you. Nowhere did I say any such yhing, and I explicitly rejected the idea when the other guy brought it up with baristas for being a stupid comparison.

never said you equated them. I’m equating cashiers to cops. I work in cyber security and i consider myself a cyber cop lol. Cashiers and I essentially do the same job - check logs and report to the boss when someone prohibited gains access to something.
And I’m saying “cashier” broadly because in grocery stores they tend to rotate between several front end jobs that may or may not be cashier, but it’s easier to just say that than whatever custom position they have.
