    When I worked at tk maxx there were a couple of guys who lived for that shit. They kept being told not to, but they’d chase and grapple every single shoplifter.

      I can’t imagine tackling someone for stealing from a tj maxx.

      “Stop him! he’s getting away with a bag of stale snacks, a cracked pink salt lamp, and some scratched nonstick pans!”

        I know, you wouldn’t believe the number of times I said “why do you care?” to colleagues about various things

          It absolutely amazes me that grown adults willingly put themselves in danger for the sake of a company that specifically instructs them not to, and therefore obviously does not care about them.

          HR can and will hang them out to dry without any comebacks.

          It’s disgusting and I tell staff this when they join and I repeat it often.

          And they still do it. Which can end up with having an investigation and dismissal. You can’t help some people.

      A friend worked at Sainsbury’s and he’d be among the staff who’d chase after shoplifters and I used to ask him “why” a lot. He never really had a good answer but I suspect he was just bored and it livened up his day.
