“it will if theyre holding a 12ga”

The policy for shoplifting at many stores is for the employees to do NOTHING.

As a matter of fact, I’ve seen stories right here on FR about employees getting fired for attempting to detain shoplifters. Target was one IIRC.

ass backwards I know but here we are.

Many, MANY moons ago, I worked in a very busy San Francisco Bay Area Safeway. A few of us had run track. I was a middle distance runner (440,880). My friend was the sprinter. Back then, we were allowed to chase the thiefs. If my friend was unable to catch them, I kept chasing. One of the ones that I caught was incredulous. He was black, and a white boy out ran him.

Needless to say, we eventually were told to stop. Private security with guns is much better.
