Not true , criminals do not have more Rights than citizens , lets get real now , this 🐂💩was created by the libtards of Biden and his posse of Pelosi , Obama , Harris and the likes of the criminals on the left in the American government
“I was fired for stealing from a cash register, what about you?” “Oh, yeah I stopped some thieves.” 1 year later i forgot about this shii, y’all can stop logically replying to this as i meant this as a joke lmao
@fairy wishes not sure how that's the same as getting robbed and punishing the people trying to stop the thief. You wokie cowards reach new levels of low every day lol.
@fairy wishes Yes, and Trump made the law to not allow abortions and guess who changed it? Joe Biden. If Biden can reverse changes, that means that he could've been reversed the Afghanistan pull out, and HE decided to do that, knowing that our enemy is the Taliban. He's been given them weapons during Obamas term, stop defending a clown
This is absolutely sick. The criminal shouldn’t have more rights than the employee who stops him. The employee is a hero for getting involved and stopping the thief unlike the other employees. He should be promoted, not fired.
@0IIIIII (In my most childish voice) You started it. 😜 I'm just joking, buddy. I didn't mean it at all, I just don't like when a bully tells me what to do. You have the best day ever! You hear me? As far as what you find, "hot," lol I'll just leave that alone.
He shouldn’t of been fired, but educated that his life is worth more than what ever they stole. You don’t know if these people have guns, and perhaps if you still 3x then make it a felony or something
@Todd Smith Ask my manager. I didn't make that rule. It has worked before though. When another store manager spotted them and recognized them from the photos they called the cops and the thieves were arrested. But no, I don't think it's it's most effective strategy. Better than getting shot though.
@Insert Witty Name lol you sound dumb… you don’t physically stop them but you send out photos to other stores? So what does that do? When the guy goes to the other store he’s just going to steal from there to and that store is going to send photos again to another store? Hahaha
I'm a retail worker and I've been told by my manager several times not to stop shop lifters and just let him take care of it. Just because we don't physically stop the thief doesn't mean we don't do anything. We use the security footage to take send out pictures to other stores and tell them to keep an eye on them. (Thieves generally won't do anything if they're being watched.) Firing someone over it is pretty extreme though. That's more of a "have the manager talk to them" kind of deal.
@Jesus Lover years of corruption and bad polices for generations, you think Biden just came up with this as his idea lol…. No idiot it’s deeper and longer than you think
I can relate to the best buy guy! I was working as a supervisor at arc thrift stores when there was a theif. I went to get the car number and the woman attacked me. My job actually demoted me to cashier and said the only reason I wasn't fired was because they're short staffed! So don't worry dude, we know how it is
The stores look at it this way. They simply pass increased insurance costs on to the consumer so in the end we all pay for shoplifting - except of course, the shoplifters. And so law makers and retailers themselves allow the vicious cycle to continue while screwing the consumer.
I blame the people putting these ignorant politicians into office. Wait until all of their stores close down. Summer of Love is just getting started...
Good for the employee..he will find a better job where he will actually be valued as an employee. As far as these crimes and this new law goes. Serves them right. They should have never changed it. They should make is more strict...look at these looting, stealing losers
Happened to me too. Blockbuster Music fired me in the mid-90s when I saw someone shoplift and he lied saying I used a racial slur which I absolutely did not. I worked for them for 7 years and they fired me simply because he said that lie. Still cannot believe they fired a loyal, decent manager.
I've seen this type of situations where store employees protect the store and get fired. Basically their just saying, dont put your life on the line. You dont know if the person your stopping is carrying a weapon. It is not your store you stoping them wont do anything, just let them have the item the store is covered by insurance.Its a whole another story if your job is a security but if your just some janitor or cashier dont put life at risk.
@Alastor I’d would much rather society hold criminals accountable for breaking laws than for us to stand aside letting them trample over us and get more rights than us. Once you commit a crime, you should not have the same rights as a law abiding citizen. I agree, companies should be allowed to have armed guards to deal with these rats.
@Megan McKnight haha um? first aid kits don't help if you're dead. Don't be a hero, it's not worth you getting hurt or you getting someone else hurt trying to save the day.
@Jerry S. it was republicans that told the renters that they don't have to pay their land laws if they don't have the money. Also, it was republicans that allow land laws to jack up the rent in one year from 500 dollars a month to 900 dollars a month. Back in the day, it was illegal.
@JaquieLyn it's because if the employee die the employee's family can file a lawsuit against the company which would cost them more than the stolen products that they most likely have insurance for
BestBuy also fired half their employees in 2020 (more profitable than 2019) and increased bonuses for management. Hired in part time to save money but give awful service, I give BestBuy just ~5 years before it sinks like circuit city.
As an employee, never stop people from stealing stuff. It's a good way to get yourself killed. You don't own the store, don't make it your concern. They have cameras for a reason.
The video of them all running out of that store one after another reminds me of what it looks like when you lift an item that has been sitting around in a roach infested house and hundreds of roaches run out and scatter. Ashamed that there isn't a giant can of shoplifter spray that you can spray on them. Their actions make them as much of a pestilence as any infestation of roaches, rats or anything else that comes in and takes from you.
I work at a grocery store and we're told we can't stop shoplifters for our safety since a thing that happened a year ago so now ppl still steal but we can't stop it and if we try to we will get fired but we do make them know that we know
"Watch as this private security officer tries to grab the bag" Man he had such quick reactions and thinking wish I could have the ability to think like him.
At my local Home Depot drug addicts do that. They just walk in, fill a cart up and walk out. One employee tried to stop a woman and this woman staved him. Now the employee is worried of losing his job.
My brother was fired from a store for standing in front of the door not letting the thief leave. I didn't understand at first, but when I became a LPO, I understand that the company has insurance on the merchandise but not the employees. If an employee is hurt trying to save the merchandise it's much more costly.
This is sad imagine that guy going for a job interview they ask how did u get fire I was trying to stop a thief from stealing merchandise I think everyone in California should just abandon that state and make a stand
Imagine having security for them to do nothing while the employee actually does something to help and gets fired, if he got fired, shouldn't the security get fired as well for literally doing nothing 💀
Thompson the family of the injured person can sue u if u touch them like before I left I had someone actually try and sue us because their was a barricade around wear the escalator was when this person son began shaking the barricade the barricade fell apart and his son fell and injured his leg they tried to sue us claiming that the barricade was improperly set up but you should have been shaking in the first place
@Dggdv Dfgcg I have heard that about Walmart. I’ve heard even if someone falls or gets hurt you’re not supposed to touch them. I wouldn’t be able to do that. I would have to do something.
@beth thompson when I was one of the manager s at a Walmart I always use to tell the employees dont get involved because if you evan put your hands on a customer it can end up pretty bad for not only u but the store as a hole
@Jesus Lover so a starving homeless person stealing food and gets caught. He can’t be a good person just because he committed a crime? You gotta be more open minded the world isn’t black and white.
All a store needs to do is price very similar looking items at 1000$ so the clerks have to call police because how can they tell what the item is unless it's looked at?
Truthfully, jobs don’t pay enough to put your life in danger over a store’s INSURED merchandise. I worked for a company that fired a manager after he was drug by a car down an 8 lane road in a attempt to stop a thief from getting away. People value your life more then a store’s merchandise that doesn’t belong to you. They will fire you then hire the next person to take you place the very next day.
I'm not defending these criminals at all. However, I thought it was common knowledge that as a worker, you aren't supposed to try and secure back stolen goods from a thief. He got fired because the company knows that if something had gone wrong (him being harmed or the criminal) that they would be liable. I don't agree with it necessarily, but I understand why it happened. The penalty for shoplifting should probably be a little harsher though.
I remember when I worked at a mall. First job. I was 15. They told me if people stole things on my shift that I could be fired. But we also weren't legally allowed to tackle or physically stop anyone from stealing. So me a 15 year old girl.... first job... just was expected to shout and guilt thieves into not costing me my job that was mind you minimum wage at the time and barely above 7 an hour... PART TIME. No. I quit that job after a few months LOL never worked retail again. Got me twisted.
Y'all, this is a policy in a lot of establishments. I worked at McDonalds and they had the same rule, don't play hero and just let the thief take the stuff or money. It's there to prevent the workers from getting hurt or worse.
When stores take thieves to court, the thieves only get a slap on the wrist for first offense. The stores waits until a thief has three thefts in their store. It's just unfortunate that this employee like other employees does not know the store's thief policies.
When I worked at walmart i rmr in training they specifically asked us to not interact with shoplifters for safety reasons and tbh i didnt get paid enough to care
My boyfriend got fired from target two weeks ago stopping someone stealing. She filed a complaint that he was in the way of her and didn’t let her leave and they fired him 🙄🤦🏻♀️ I saw the footage too
The best buy employee takes his job to seriously lol 😆 you're a damn fool risking your safety for a company that will replace you the next day if that thief had shot you dead. When I worked retail and seen folks stealing I didn't give af lol that's above my pay grade
It’s really sad on both sides because I understand and breaks my heart when someone steals food or clothes for there family’s this I America will all the food and clothes for everyone but when stealing but Alcohol, Electronics and other things that hurt the businesses and forced to close the American Justice is broken where a Security guard or a Good Samaritan try’s stop and help police officers put someone of this shoplifter that get out of control last thing we need somehow shoplifter walk out stealing a fire arms out of a store that’s all we need.
The fact that the Best Buy employe stop shoplifter and won the tag of war means that he did the right thing, stealing is bad and there was no security around there so of course he was going to get fired but he had the right to do what he did. Good will always win.
I don't want to sound like I'm advocating for the thieves, because I'm not. It infuriates me to see these lowlifes do this. He got fired because stores want to discourage employees from putting themselves in danger. A man got killed at a Rite-Aid a few days ago by some thugs who were shoplifting. I'm happy that in this case, nobody important got hurt. I would definitely buy the guy some lunch, but I would ask him to not do that again. PS, I celebrate when the perpetrators get hurt/shot/killed.
Imagine standing there at the register spending your hard-earned money on like one or two items and these fools walk in!! No give all the security guards several cans of spray paint mix a little pepper spray in there too and hose down those clothes spray paint, if you're going to let them take it destroy it first! they destroy it when they throw it in the dumpsters destroy it on the way out the door
As much as I am against shoplifting, I’m not going to stop one. Not my pay grade. Those big stores make billions each year. If they want to stop it, they can hire better security or bribe a politician to change the law.
I pray that gentleman has been blessed with an even better job/career 🙏🙏🙏...I really don't understand why they would fire someone for trying to prevent theft? Liability? Not in their job description? Employees told beforehand not to intervene? Stolen items covered under insurance? I just don't get it?!!!
It's kind of funny how the first couple of guys walked out with bags. I could care less about these big companies getting stole off of. If I worked there, I would be like " have a nice day,also do you need help loading it in your vehicle".
This is why people have to pay the mark up price for people like this that just steal so boldly and make it hard for others who already trying to make ends meet have to pay the mark up price.
My buddies and I have been catching shoplifters. We following them out, we take their stuff, slap them around a little, and then return the stuff to the store. The slapping part is the most important part. Equate shoplifting with pain. None of us has been arrested yet, but we'll proudly pay that price. But we won't stop.
Just think if that daily best buy thief hurt himself trying to get away with that merchandise ,he could've sued best buy and the good employee who try to stop him
He got fired because it's against company policy for employees to go after shoplifters. It's a liability issue. If he got injured while trying tos top the shoplifter, Best Buy does not want to be liable for his injuries so they have that policy in place. Best Buy also has insurance for theft, so they really don't need their untrained employees doing this.
Never understood why employees felt the need to stop thief’s, especially for such large companies. They hired you for sales associate not a security guard
To be honest if you own a company and your employee stops someone from stealing and the theif ends up shooting and killing that employee then their family is going to sue you not the their. I'm not saying the rule doesn't have its faults but this is why they tell you at orientation not to stop them. The dude got himself fired over something he didn't NEED to get involved with. That rule is pretty much apart of every retail job
