“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.
The stores assume that the merchandise isn't worth the life of any employee. Good call.
