“can I really walk out of Best Buy with a new laptop or camera or whatever, knowing that no one will attempt to stop me physically? Sounds like free electronics just for the taking? “

The message is now very clear: FREE STUFF AT BEST BUY.

employees are prohibited from 'pursuing shoplifters under any circumstance or using physical force to detain shoplifters'

Also says that employees are prohibited from pursuing you!

Yep, the “young men” in gang flash mobs, who have been hitting convenience stores and clothes stores, will now go to Best Buy.

Maybe the employee saw the shoplifter wasn’t armed, was smaller than he was, or for whatever reason, saw that he had a clean shot at him. For him to get fired for this is crazy.

Best Buy has a “zero tolerance” rule. The bureaucratic language of the termination notice shows that nobody in management is capable or willing to use any judgement in this matter.
