I think it would be beneficial if a new restaurant such as if McDonald's, A&W, Tim Hortons, etc... decided to go somewhere in the heart of the downtown core that they would have a security guard. Yes that may be one extra cost but if you are getting good foot traffic and lots of business and people are feeling comfortable because of that security guard that is a positive cost.

Some existing retail places downtown here have actually had security guards for a long time, for instance Shoppers Drug on 104 Street. With the crowd Tim's attracts it would be a good idea in some current locations too.

I also see security guards at some retail stores in Southgate Mall, most notably at Sporting Life and Arc'teryx.
