hey’ll eat your boss for breakfast and get a nice severance package out of it.
I’d be shocked if they didn’t act outside company policy simply by moving to “deter” them. the company’s liability lawyers are never going to let whatever lawyer OP can afford to hire near OP’s boss.
OP’s own statement is that they moved to deter the theft. Had he not moved to do so, it’s probable he’d never have been attacked.
It’s certainly likely that had he elected instead to walk away- that is to follow policy*- he almost certainly would never have been attacked.
It’s very, very, unlikely that the shoplifter’s attack wasn’t precipitated by OP’s action of placing himself in such a place.
Now imagine the shoplifter was armed, carrying a pistol, and elected instead to draw and put a couple rounds into OP- and then, because the shoplifter is already fucked if they get caught, pops a couple into the security/LP staff; and then emptied the rest of the mag in the store.
The store would have to pay out for medical bills, lawsuits, over stopping the theft of something that probably costs less than $100, and is covered by insurance anyhow
(*there’s almost zero chance a retailer doesn’t have these policies. Even mom and pop shops know better,)
