Every major retailer no matter what they sell have the same policy. I know a former outside salesman for Lowe’s Home Improvement that was a consistent million dollar producer that got fired for the exact same thing except the thief was rolling out of the store with power tools. Lawyers.
On Oct. 4, 2020, Moreno was behind the counter when Tyler Wimmer walked into the convenience store with a knife in one hand and a sealed package in the other that also contained a knife.
It’s not clear in surveillance footage obtained by KDVR whether or not he ever threatened Moreno with the knife, but Willmer did ask if she would give him a pack of cigarettes for free. Moreno declined, telling him she would get fired if she did.
Moment clerk touches thief stealing cigarettes. Moreno claims she was fired for briefly touching the thief when he stole a pack of cigarettes from the store in Oct. 2020.
Willmer starts to walk towards the door but suddenly turns around, walks right past Moreno, and grabs a pack from behind the counter, video shows.
Moreno grabs his arm trying to stop him but then backs off, according to the footage.
“I, like, freaked out, you know? And I just went like that,” she said, motioning like she’s pushing Willmer away from her.
“Well, supposedly, I guess I grabbed his arm. I don’t remember that, but I push him, and that’s when he ran out.”
Willmer can be seen on camera walking around outside the store after the theft. Moreno said she immediately called her manager and 911.
