Neither loyal or honest if the company is indifferent to shoplifting. Loyal and honest is complying with employer policy and it doubtful that running down a shoplifter with your car is in the employee handbook. If you disagree with a policy of your employer go elsewhere or comply.

Glad to see you are getting well-deserved downvotes.

SO works retail. She loves her job, but is not particularly well paid. She works her butt off. She has to deal with shoplifters, the shitty segment of the public, and with lazy indifferent coworkers (about 1/2 of the employees).

She hates seeing people walk in, grab a handful of stuff, and walk out the door. She knows shrinkage losses affect her pay. Her good co-workers all feel the same way - they'd love to take a baseball bat to these thieves.

"Let them steal" policies are atrocious. How does an employer expect its employees to give a rat's butt about protecting and preserving assets when the company clearly does not?

I used to defend "wrongful detention" cases against a department store chain. WHen I started representing them, they were sued all the time. I said "these are all shite cases, lets quit working them up which forces the plaintiff to get read ... lets ignore them and I'll bet most will rot away and abandon." It worked. Nothing was prosecuted, they were all abandoned or (in Texas) dismissed for want of prosecution. Now, the suits are virtually non-existent.

These retailers need to buck up and quit being scared of shoplifters.

ETA: Nothing like working your arse off for the company only to see them allow lowlifes to steal shite, especially shite that the employees cannot even get for free.

In the 1940s this would be considered OJT, instant promotion from cashier to junior-associate-in-training, and worthy of a small raise..

Well, maybe in the rural Sunbelt..with sympathetic local small town Judges?

The woman is now homeless because of this dipshit.

Was she working in the store when the shoplifting took place? So she left the job, hopped in her car, followed and ran down the shoplifter when she was on the clock. Damaged HER car in the process...not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer....

frick you

That banimal wasn't just shoplifting, he had a basket of 20 something items he walked out with.

You are the type of low moral individual contributing mightily to the country's rot.

Sure the stuff is insured


That’s the stupidest excuse I can think of for allowing this behavior, but it was slipped into the minds of the people by the far left during the summer of 2020. My truck is insured. That doesn’t mean I’m going to loan it to someone when they tell me that they are going to drive it off into a lake.

This. It shouldn't be categorized as insurance when it's for anticipated shoplifting. I pay health, auto, home insurance for the off chance that something were to happen. Insurance companies make money because the majority of their policy holders never cash in on a policy. How is shoplifting coverage even considered insurance?

They should promote her to Lt. General Dollar.
