Does the manager wait at the door for the robber with the ski mask and tell him, "Excuse me, sir. No guns allowed."? Total fail.

Not gonna lie, I was nervous walking around Downtown Crossing with my wife's engagement diamond. I always carry in Boston anyways though so that day was no different, of course.
It’s a stupid policy, but it’s their policy. And I’ve got NO problem if the policy they apply to non-LEOs is applied to LEOs too. Let them see just how silly and annoying these kinds of restrictions are.
The guy should have told Kay's management that he is cancelling the sale immediately and they can resell their engagement ring as an overpriced coc*ring! Plenty of reputable jewelers who would be happy to have his business.Every Kiss begins with “Kay” according to their commercials. Kiss my A$$ Kays! Over priced mall junk jewelry anyway. I’d rather support the local mom & pop shop.
With rubber dildos?
I used to get nervous just walking around Downtown Crossing in general. But yeah, I stuffed that box as far into my jacket pocket as I could and tried to look less conspicuous than I usually do.
And this was back before I started carrying regularly. Nothing like carrying valuable property around a sketchy area to make you want to carry a gun.
I’m Guessing being a dick. Ill also wager he’ll be shown the door by close of biz Friday and officer Romeo will have a brand new bright and shiny and free engagement ring on Kay’s with their deepest apologies.Is it Company Policy ?, or is it just this manager being a Dick ??
the sad thing is Kay and most of the rest of the retail jewelers are owned by the same company.... more reason to shop a trusted local jeweler
Signet Jewelers Limited is the world's largest retailer of diamond jewelry. Signet operates over 3,500 stores primarily under the name brands of Kay Jewelers, Zales, Jared The Galleria Of Jewelry, H.Samuel, Ernest Jones, Peoples, Piercing Pagoda, and JamesAllen.com.
The company has to sign an agreement with the Armored truck company that the Guard will come in armed if they refuse the item will not be delivered.I’m must be drinking too much black coffee because this really has me thinking. What about the armored truck guys doing deliveries and drop offs? Are they armored but unarmed?
*A* Kay Jewelers *banned* a police officer with a gun.
It is not corporate policy, and they've already apologized to the officer and the employees have been "re-trained."

The past two Big Ticket Christmas shopping trips, I've told the jewelry store,Not gonna lie, I was nervous walking around Downtown Crossing with my wife's engagement diamond. I always carry in Boston anyways though so that day was no different, of course.
You think maybe right about now the (ex-)managerTranslation:
"Now that this is out in public we sacrificed the manager and will be more discrete in our discrimination in the future."
