What's the world coming to?

Most retailers won't take any action until the thief exits the store, although some will arrest you if you stuff a slab of bacon in your shorts.

If an employee tried to stop a thief and he opened fire in the store, if any customers were hurt, the store owners would be liable. Hence, let the criminal go.

Fair? Maybe not, but rules are rules and the retail stores all throughout America abide by this.

True, and why they can pay for their drugs... to get spun up and do it again... :blink::sick:

Declination of the society. A society ran by lawyers, controlled by lawyers, and everyone is scared of the lawyers because of how many people they hurt... :mad:

Down with the lawyers...
Down with the lawyers...
Down with the lawyers...

:D

Nnuut, agreed. I would like to see how many cops could be paid for by losses on goods and services and try to hire full fledged cops to be available to ARREST these individuals.

Just because it's called PETTY CRIME doesn't mean it's petty at all.:mad:

4 Walmart employees lose their job too!

Fired for listening to the manager to stop shoplifter.

She was hit and kicked, but fired in the end.

Unfortunately, the crime takes place on private property owned buy the store. The company is required by law to keep a safe environment. An employee is an 'agent' of the company and there are issues with stopping a perpatrator of a crime. The company would rather take the loss and keep people safe than risk injury to employees or customers.

If an employee tried to stop a thief and he opened fire in the store, if any customers were hurt, the store owners would be liable. Hence, let the criminal go.

Fair? Maybe not, but rules are rules and the retail stores all throughout America abide by this.
