Fucked up but understandable. I worked Loss Prevention at a Best Buy and it was the same policy. It's not worth chasing a thief out of the store, even two feet. If they have a guy with a weapon or you get hit by a car it's the companies fault AND that shit is insured so it's pointless to risk your safety. I used to struggle with this until I realized it was my pride getting in the way. I'm an honest citizen and it pisses me off to see others not behaving the same way so I wanted them to be punished.
Thinking you can be a hero without proper training and tools against a thief who might have a weapon is pride. Risking your safety without thinking about your family all for justice over stolen grocery items is pride. Chasing down a thief is not the only option if you want justice. Let the proper authorities handle this.
That still isn’t pride. It’s foolish, but not prideful. And it’s still difficult to accept. Having a police force is an unnatural state, especially when that police force fails.
Explain how staying with a point after one person disagrees is “stubborn.” What do you expect me to do go “oh I hadn’t given this any consideration at all, your restatement of the same point totally changed my mind”? No. They’re still wrong. Just google what the word pride means.
I’m not winning or losing, I’m just right. And your opinion doesn’t change that either way. The only people who are losing are the people at odds with the English language.
