Unlikely. The difference is every retail employee in the nation. Is clearly told not to try and stop theft etc. Just report it.

And while the companies claim it’s to prevent harm to employees. It is very much to prevent employees or thieves from suing them.

ASDA and any other retail company. Would be held responsible for any harm done. By both failing to warn staff not to get involved. And failing to adaquotely disapline staff that do.

If ASDA was to hire this person. Knowing this happened. And then some event caused anyone to get injured. ASDA would go bankrupt.
