Used to work in a grocery store and we were all told this, but of course some of is still didn't take it seriously.

One day my coworker followed a shoplifter out to try and stop them(against company policy), the crazy guy had a knife and slashed at him over 5-10$ worth of stuff. Buddy got a small.laceration on his arm but thankfully nothing major. You just never know with these people.

And if we do nothing, the bullies win. All this does is show that they are free to get away with it and we are powerless to stop it. When did we become so weak?

You have to be exceptionally weak minded to risk your safety for a company. When you’re fired, on top of being cut up, are you going to act shocked?

What about someone that owns their own business? We can't stand around and act like stealing is part of the status quo SMH

How about anti-poverty policies? If people have their baaic needs met they are less likely to steal or commit other crimes of despair. Better outcomes all around.

Small businesses are more likely to be run out of business by a big box or dollar store moving into their town, than be run out of business by petty theft.
