You reminded me of the unspoken "quota" required when I was undercover security arresting shoplifters at a major dept store.

Our director wanted to catch the attention of the west coast director, and asked us to start collecting customer service letters from those we arrested (cuz the rest of the store was "run" on customer service).

I was the only one with the chutzpah to do it.

I treated all with GP, unless it required something "more", and once they settled down, I would again treat them with GP.
