I thought that the main way Americans coped with their declining standard of living was by taking all their frustrations out on retail employees / customer service workers. In that case, deputizing retail workers seems like a bad idea, since a lot of people will presumably get caught in the crossfire when a customer finally pushes them too far, particularly since retail is such a low paid / high stress job and the people who hold these jobs don't necessarily have it in them to not fight back
