Actually I think that MPI has all the guards in their Winnipeg locations wear the slash resistant vests.

We're begginning to veer way of course with this thread but it is relevent to downtown safety in some ways with the start of the York Ave twitter safety issue post.
I understand your trying to show that PP is not the only large retail outlet downtown with safety issues and the protocols they have implemented to safeguard their staff.
No, most retail security or loss prevention staff do not wear protection of this kind while working. The fact that it is obvious in 2 downtown locations is a red flag.
In regards to MPI. I attended their offices for a emergency situation in the past. As a public sector entity their entire safety protocol and security situation changed soon after the situation was resolved. Public sector and Government offices/locations have seen an increase in overall security over the years due to other threats.
