| Topic | Do you think walmart's shoplifting policy is fair? |

That would be even tougher on the employees then if the company allow and expects it. Zeus posted... Policy or not, most male managers I met when I worked retail, food service, etc, did try to stop thieves. The fellow Scout leader said they've been held at gunpoint before. With a wife and three children, I'm sure he just let the shoplifters have their way and let the insurance cover the loss. He also encourage/remind his employees to do the same to avoid any issues. It's just not worth it in my opinion to save whatever money was stolen. Zeus posted... In fact, employees have sometimes ignored those provisions, stopped a thief, handed him over the cops, and the thief either plead out or was convicted for the time, but the employee was *still* fired for violating policy. I do feel that sucks for the employee but with the potential fallout from an employee getting injured or dying, I can understand why companies prefer losing the products/money. --- "You must gather your party before venturing forth" "Go for the eyes Boo!
