Its a resume builder. She’ll get 50X better job offers if she wants them.

There are lots of small and family-run companies who want a loyal employee, who possesses a sense of justice and fair-play.

I never shop at Lowe’s - I got bad feelings the few times I was there.

At this point, why even have cash registers? If these stupid companies just want to encourage hoodlums from ransacking their stores and they want nobody to do anything about it, then have at it, hoss.

My new plan for the weekend is to go to that Lowe’s and steal thousands of dollars worth of stuff. Why wouldn’t I?

Lowe’s was lucky to have an employee who would risk their life, their skin, their bones and their job all so that the store would not lose $2,100 in merchandise.

I feel for her, but how many times have we heard this story before?
Not her specifically.
Don’t try to stop thieves.
Didn’t an older man just die from getting punched at work recently?

If you are going to get fired, it is much better to be fired for violating the company gun policy and for shooting the thieves.

Lowe's is telling law-abiding citizens, "We don't really care about you being an employee or a customer."

I got the hint.

Companies do this because their "managers" are scared biden-less of lawsuits.

So sue them anyway.

I seems to me that Boomers are the ones trying to stop the looters.
I’m glad that we dont have that behavior in Minneapolis./s We may have an “issue” with Somali punks and gangs and yout stealing cars...

Wally World shutter my store because of self proclaimed repartions. Their bad behavior hurt their community. Once Walmart left Brookyn Center, crime dropped at my gym.

More evidence our civilization is descending into barbarism, enabled by our institutions.

The employee should have helped the "customer", even adding merchandise to his cart and wishing him a good day.

Maybe give the "customer" a card with the Loss Prevention phone number on it.

"Thank you for shop... er..umm... stopping by Lowe's".

This happened to our friend’s son earlier this year. He was a valued worker at Lowes here in South SF, Ca. A thief was trying to push a cart out the door with expensive merchandise, and a senior worker (in his 70’s) was trying to stop the thief but senior worker got assaulted. Friend’s son stepped in to help his co-worker and fought with the thief, managing to stop the assault on co-worker. They got fired for their efforts. So much for trying to help the Lowes company; they don’t support their staff.

It’s very easy to intimidate large corporations. Now some retailers won’t stop theft.

As long as the Democrats refuse to enforce laws, there’s very little citizens can do.
