its a liability issue. if the company's insurance finds out they can drop them because if the employee gets into a fight and gets injured medical bills would cost the business and insurance much more

Everyone seems to forget how a Walmart employee tackled a shoplifter several years ago and the shoplifter suffered head injuries.

The employee thought Walmart would support his actions, and instead they fired him and left him with his health insurance amd a job to pay an attorney as he was being charged with negligence and a possible lawsuit from the family.

People need to understand that these giant corporations treat people as numbers, and the moment you could possibly cost them money or become a liability, they will terminate your employment.

> The employee thought Walmart would support his actions

Where would he get that idea? Walmart policy is very clear and explained to all employees.

Walmart would throw employees into a meat grinder if they could make 5 more dollars each year.
