I agree. If they let you walk out with stuff, why pay? If they try to stop, you can sue them.
im from nearby westland mi, and the job situation has gotten desperate,but thats michigan for you. the criminals are running the state, and granholm is no exception
(sarcasm off)
Oh, wait, you've also fallen for all the false/alarmist research that shows that pesticides, preservatives, artificial hormones, artificial colors and flavors are bad for you! You must be very gullible, like me! lol

Did I also mention that we grind our own flour using organic wheat? That we buy most of our vegetables (we don't have a garden big enough) from an Amish farmer, or that Thanksgiving and Christmas turkey comes from a Mennonite? Neither of them use any chemicals and the turkeys are not much more than a Butterball. (We go to the Mennonite farm in October, pick both turkeys out and within 30 minutes they are killed, plucked, cleaned and ready for the freezer) We have recently round a source for American Bison that is hormone free and are using that in place of beef.
After having several family members die from cancer I can't see any reason to take a chance especially when the organic is available, is almost the same price, and tastes better.
In this specific case, the lowly fishmonger was ordered to help by the manager who was actively pursuing the shoplifter.
Think about what you're suggesting.
I did.
You weren't there, were you? The lowly fishmonger made a decision based on the circumstances and the instructions he had been given by his manager and decided that restraining the shoplifter was the proper course of action.
The police who investigated the incident had no complaint. Why do you?
I wouldn't expect a salesfloor associate to know how to do a police officer's job any more than I would expect a police officer to know how to process inventory for the health and beauty department.
Let's all stand around and get robbed and do nothing about it ourselves. That's what the police are for, isn't is?
You are both correct, and such would form an excellent base for a legal complaint.
No, it's not easy for me to say. It's unfortunate that you were inconvenienced by someone trying to keep from being ripped off, but that's what can happen when criminals think they can get away with crimes.
... you weren’t the one run over and nearly killed ...
If you think you were wronged by the shoplifter who knocked you down or the employee who ran over you, do something about it aside from bellyaching about people who are tired of being ripped off by shoplifters.
... over someone who’d stolen a bottle of white out.
It's not about one particular bottle of white out, it's about being a target for everyone who thinks they can hit you whenever they want because there are no consequences.
I’d say something else to your ridiculous response, but it’s not worth it.
Go right ahead, I don't mind, if it would make you feel better.
bttt
The shoplifter was NOT a customer... He was a thief.
