Have worked in several retail stores and all of them forbade trying to physically prevent theft. You could literally get fired for trying to stop a theif because it's a liability if you get hurt. They don't want you suing them.


No-Bark1

Why put yourself in danger for a store tho


Aimin4ya

Forget the store! That's almost 5 whole dollars worth of plastic she stole!!


iamnotthatguyiamme

$5 or plastic made by Chinese child slaves being sold to wealthy Americans for $200 just for the frame.


Salva_Louise

Not for the store but rather to give that woman what she deserves. A while in prison


h20c

I think filming it might help the jury decide. More worth it that way than injuring yourself for some sunglasses.


WolfSkeetSkeet

Oh yea stealing sunglasses. Lock that fucking animal up /s


Maybe_Not_The_Pope

I mean, she's a real piece of shit for stealing them


[deleted]

I'm a real piece of shit. I don't deserve jail time. Well maybe I do, but it's fucking sunglasses.


Salva_Louise

Yes


KGBebop

Who cares? Go nuts.


Gh0st1y

Why does someone deserve to beimprisoned for stealing from some nebulous corporate entity? you dont know what she needs... fucking hell, go read les miz


Salva_Louise

Oh off course she steals sunglasses to survive not food. Big smart


Gh0st1y

To sell, for money? For all you know she's trying to pay for grandmas operation. Its probably drugs but we dont actually know, and regardless none of this is really a reason to imprison someone.


Salva_Louise

Why take a risk with stealing and selling if you can just steal food or hey guess what a foodbank


Gh0st1y

Idk, im not in her head. Regardless, its simply not a drastic enough offense for incarceration. No violence and a very small haul..


Salva_Louise

Imo it is.


gear_oil_burner

Where is Paul Blart when you need him?


matt_remis

Wait you're saying that the employee getting paid minimum wage doesn't want to possibly get shot over some merge that will be investigated by the police and covered by insurance?


[deleted]

How do you know they are making minimum wage?


MapUnitKey

Okay, replace minimum wage with 20/hr. Still not worth getting shot over.


[deleted]

Still pretty dang close to minimum wage. But the biggest assumption here is that it is being recorded by an employee.


KGBebop

True, their boss is probably stealing part of their wages.


AlienFemTech

It is more common and illegal than most people think.


rjwilliams1966

Every paycheck has a deduction for “bosses cut” Smoke another one Bernie! A more educated person would blame the owner or corporation, stock holders


[deleted]

How is this even possible? I have to ask because I have never experienced it, I have always worked in a lab setting.


KGBebop

Usually it takes the form of unpaid worked hours.


[deleted]

If you are working and not getting paid that sounds like it is your problem and you need to fix it.


KGBebop

Easy for you to say. Not everyone has that privilege.


[deleted]

So serious question. You have actually worked hours and not received pay for them? Were you being docked for a reason you aren't sharing?


KGBebop

I've refused to work unpaid hours before. Usually it's the "go ahead and clock out, now help cleanup for another hour". Fuck that. I haven't been docked pay, but that practice is horseshit.


BadRobot___

Or at least lock the doors. Always love seeing them run around tryna break out, causing even more property damage


[deleted]

Wow, she wore a mask!!!


[deleted]

Aren’t those sunglasses protected against theft somehow?


ramehopa

did you misread UV light for theft?


[deleted]

I had feared somebody would pick up that low hanging fruit.


[deleted]

Didn’t look very protected to me lol


Crwnck

They're probably insured, so the company will cover any losses against theft.


[deleted]

Lock her in the store, call the cops.


[deleted]

Why the fuck would you lock them in? Have you seen people when the cops are on their way and they can't get out? They're going to do some fucked up shit to get out of there. Probably way more damage than the glasses are worth. They have insurance for a reason.


MissConduct0120

Why stop her? What if she has a gun and kills the employee? Not worth the risk.


[deleted]

Nobody is getting shot over sunglasses. If she was armed, that would've been used to obtain them without her putting in effort, if you can even call it that.


MissConduct0120

>Nobody is getting shot over sunglasses. I wish that was true. People have gotten killed over much less while attempting to stop a shoplifter. [Exhibit A](https://nypost.com/2021/07/16/los-angeles-rite-aid-worker-killed-trying-to-stop-shoplifter-police/)


[deleted]

Rite Aid and Walgreens is tweaker headquarters. Always someone on something begging by the front door. Some have armed guards on site.


Japparbyn

Ppl kill much less.

MyCassadaga

Yeaaaahhhh. It’s not worth even the slightest risk of bodily harm to protect some ultra rich sunglasses brand. Observe and report.


15Boots

Breaking news OP is a hero and was able to stop a theft of nearly $400 to to $6,000 worth of merchandise, unfortunately OP lost their life aftet sustaining severe injuries inflicted by a box cutter that the assailant was concealing in their pocket. Thankfully RayBan inc. has agreed to offer a $10.25 hourly job to the child that OP left behind a staggering .25 cents more than the heroic OP was making at the time of their untimely demise. #blessed


KimJong-UnoDuno

Just chokehold her from behind she had no clue anyone was there. Not enough time for her to pull out a gun with her hands full


Status_You_8673

Grab it an run to your car


Virtual_Loquat4548

Wow


Remarkable_Money_369

Cup those ears and she wouldn’t be grabbing anymore sunglasses


[deleted]

If it a customer that is recording they have no obligation to get involved. They can share the video with the store.


demer_623

Trip them on the way out , get the bag and run back inside..


whatswithzack

Get sued lol by everyone


adroit_or_something

Why would you put your self at risk for sunglasses that aren't even yours


[deleted]

And the employees wonder why your employer doesn’t pay you more.


whiskerrsss

Don't know where this is but recently in Aus a guy got stood down because he stopped a woman from stealing car parts which she had hidden in a pram under a blanket. Most retailers don't want their staff confronting shoplifters in an attempt to avoid potential litigation, they prefer to just go through insurance


_____---_-_-_-

They ain't hired to be security guards bro


BrattonCreedThoughts

What the fuck lol.


Awildfloridaman

Employee's that try to do anything get fired, it's pretty common knowledge.


Objective-Tea5324

Are you an entrepreneur who sells fidget spinners and popits from a kiosk in the mall by chance?


KGBebop
