Conditioned.

I stopped by the not-so-Safeway on the way home from work. There were four police cruisers with their lights flashing. There were also two of those white unmarked police cars with lights in the windshield that were flashing as well. Two police officers were putting cuffs on a young woman next to the shopping cart return area. She didn't seemed fazed by the ordeal.
I walked past the scene and stepped inside. Safeway has two private security guards on duty at all times. One in a car that makes slow loops around the parking lot and one stationed inside by the front door. I asked the guard what was going on outside. She shrugged at me, "I don't know. I stay in here where there's air-conditioning."
