Murder of Crows Retail Assistants

I was watching a nature show demonstrating the intelligence of crows and was blown away by how quickly they could problem solve. They seemed to solve problems using tools in such a complex way, that I know many a human would fail at miserably.

Since I have a friend who is a retail manager, who regularly gripes about the stupidity of some of his staff, I thought he could do better with an intelligent creature that could be trained to problem solve, and do simple tasks. The crows could do things like bar code swiping, tagging etc, that his human staff often fail to do out of laziness and stupidity.

Also, crows would make excellent shop security, and are known to recognize faces, and can be trained to recognize behaviors that can be seen as threatening. Typically crows will call out when they recognize a threat, and even gang up on the perceived threat.

Could you imagine a shoplifter being chased by a murder of crows?

Of course a special coop, or area should be built around the ceiling to stop the birds from pooping everywhere.

They would be exceptionally useful as mall, or parking lot security too.

You could start crow training and employment agencies. The market is vast.
