Man, when I worked retail in the 90s, we were TOLD to follow known shoplifters and would-be shoplifters, deter them, and even stop them before leaving.
Yeah but did you work in a country that has sensible gun laws? It sounds like the person you reply to is from the US, and I sure as hell would not try to stop a thief if I have to assume they might as well have a shotgun in their trousers’ leg or an assault rifle in their car.
In the US I’d probably help them carry the product out anyways, fuck labor “laws” in the US.
It’s been a good while, but as I recall working the late 90s at a Target in the Midwest, I believe we were told to follow them as far as the parking lot and get the license plates if they went to a vehicle.
