I once worked at a store behind the till.
A guy came in with a bag and emptied the shelf of all the easter eggs. I only knew because the manager came running out (seen on camera) shouting at me to stop him.
Bitch there is no way I a 19 year old is going to confront a grown ass man over eggs I don’t own.
Left that job pretty sharpish after that.
I hope ASDA offer him a job, just like they did to that austist that Waitrose sacked last year.
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.
Reminds me of how Meijer grocery store paralyzed Leroy Spangler, allegedly (so they don’t try and find/sue me).
I think the guy actually won the lawsuit against Meyer.

The lesson here is that there’s literally no reason to care at all about theft from a corporation, because they do not care about you.

Waitrose is a worker-owned cooperative though.
