[@jasonkeith2832]

[@Seydaschu]

Prevent some snitchuations.

[@bugjams]

Or you could just do your job. Shoplifting and not doing your job are not the epic "anti-capitalist rebellionz!!!!" acts you think they are. You're only serving to make the manager's job harder, which means hour cuts, higher prices, and a generally shittier experience for everyone shopping there. Most people who shop at big chains are unfortunately lower-class, and it's an extremely white and privileged take to think that shoplifting or slacking is doing anything to the big corporations. In reality you're only screwing over the underpaid workers who have to pick up your slack, and the lower-class families who shop there.

A variation of this is actual Target policy. If it doesn't scan and they can't look it up (both in their system, as well as online) they can just assign it a price themselves based on similar products.

[@uhhhmaeve]

I do this all the time at my job lol

[@TheGreatsagegoku]

I happen to know for some reason, that as of a few years ago cashiers at safeway could apply a price correction to an item, which would bring the price down by as much as entered into the system. Over a certain dollar amount would require a managers authorizartion codes and badge scan, however there was no restriction on how manyvtimes this function could be applied to an indiviual item in a transaction and the maximum dollar amount allowable to discount without authorization wouldn't take long for a cashier to familiarize themselves with. And if one is fast with a touch display input and doesn't mind the repeated motion of running the same function several times, they could theoretically discount an entire grocery order down to a few cents. I happen to know it was once possible, if it was done, and if it still is possible...who can say.

[@Irrelevant402]

"If the customer jokes about it 'being free' you are allowed to punch them. The law is on your side."

[@hansonel]

[@sectinger]

the YTPs you make are the fucking funniest in existance. i am glad to be alive again.

[@Introbulus]

The moral at the end here is honestly correct. You are not allowed to stop a shoplifter because it creates a liability to the store, so the supervisor will write you up for that. But if you tell the supervisor, they will write you up for failing to stop the shoplifting. So the only winning move is not to play.

[@noisepuppet]

Your only hope at that juncture would be if an unfortunate accident befell the store building. Yes, that would be a terrible shame. I see there's a sale on charcoal starter. Aisle 12.

[@holdingpattern245]

Unless there's something really wrong with the managers, they will want you to tell them about the shoplifting, and will not write you up for failing to stop it. In fact they might write you up if you try to stop it, or if you didn't tell them that you witnessed it. Although the situation is different if you are security personnel.

[@Armameteus]

It actually depends on store policy, which is contingent on the brand you work for/country you live in. From my experience, you're specifically trained for how to deal with suspected shop-lifters: 1. Do not directly confront the shop-lifter. This could cause the situation to escalate out of control, such as causing them to become violent or flee. 2. (a) Notify the nearest store manager either directly (if present nearby) or via the store's intercom system, or (b) notify plain-clothes security personnel (if present nearby) - at my store, they were known by name and they all wore a specific pair of branded sunglasses that you can't buy commercially to tip you off if you don't know them. 3. Maintain view of the shop-lifter at all times where possible, but do not approach. 4. If the shop-lifter attempts to interact with you for any reason, treat them normally as you would any other customer. If possible, use the opportunity to encourage them to speak to a manager and offer to call one on the intercom. 5. In the case of known shop-lifters, refer to any photos distributed by management, where applicable. Follow the same protocol as with suspected shop-lifters. I'd love to know what store you worked at that encouraged you to attempt to stop a shop-lifter yourself or you'd get a write-up. Rule 1 was Rule *1* for a reason, since it specifically states not to because they could get violent. Unless you're store security, you're not to engage.

[@tardwranglersinc7666]

It's better that you casually strike up a conversation, get their name, and then call the police after de-escalating. One less problem!
