If she made a decision this poor and reckless, I think it’s safe to assume that she has made other terrible decisions in the past and would make more in the future. I’d like to know how her coworkers feel about the situation.
Wtf are all these retarded opinions “if someone is stealing, ignore”?
There are plenty of food banks for whoever needs food (nearly everywhere in western europe). So why should we empower voiding this societal contract of … not stealing?
In the end it’s the consumer who end up fitting the bill, as these will be used as an excuse to hike prices for actually hardworking people.
I work retail in the US. It’s not just some meaningless “policy”; it’s drilled into us that we shouldn’t obstruct a suspected shoplifter, confront them, or even politely ask if they have a receipt. People who try to intervene are putting themselves and others at a bigger risk than they realize. What she did was a MAJOR no-no.
Companies have decided that the loss of profits from shoplifting is negligible compared to the risk of a lawsuit or worker’s comp due to an injury. Plus, for all I know, the shoplifter has a weapon and/or untreated mental disorders. I am neither qualified nor paid to deal with that.
No it’s not. What kind of hokey, pie-eyed, olde tyme colonial school child view of capitalism are you desperately holding onto? The customer gets charged the maximum they will pay, regardless of any other circumstance.
You and I are going to get charged a certain amount regardless. Theft comes from their bottom line. If you don’t steal, you’re only giving more money to the rich.

Tell that to all the towns that get abandoned by businesses once theft is socially acceptable (or even encouraged), so maybe look up those instances before you reply. What an absolutely retarded take. I can’t wait till the next post by another retard about “food deserts” and how food is raysis because the closest shop is in the next town and they can only eat at mcdonalds.
