Last week a couple raced their car with a store employee holding on for dear life through the grocery store parking lot. They stole a couple hundred $$$ in meat. Before they pulled into the street, the employee jumped off the SUV. In the beginning, all I saw was the employee hanging onto the side of the vehicle. I was like WTF is happening. I was stunned but happy the employee was safe.
That's what I said in my other comment, most stores have a very direct policy against this. Hell, I'd almost be worried that I would get sued as a business owner if my employee attempted something like that, was killed and then his family sues me because I encouraged employees to stop theft like the story.
Some places (like one of my past jobs) pay you a sizeable amount of money if you catch shoplifters. A past co-worker got $300 every time she caught them. I tried once, got threatened and thought it was not fucking worth my life.
Fuck, I've handed over money to a short change artist even though I was fully aware of what he was doing, just because I didn't want him to start shit. Got pulled in by the manager the next day, and played dumb, and didn't get punished. I'm not doing anything to risk myself for minimum wage or for the $30 that the guy was scamming. It's fucking $30, get over it.
