You know, I do have to wonder about TC's store. When it comes to retail in America and shoplifting, I hear a lot that employees aren't allowed to try to stop them because it could become some kind of liability thing.

This is whats not making sense.

Stopping shoplifters is legally questionable to begin with and something most stores shy away from. But not only that, this incident supposedly occurred years ago?

Ive worked enough retail to know that 1 year in retail equals about five years in a normal job. So we can assume that TC was in some kind of authority position years ago when this TV was taken if he was expected to stop it. Now hes been in some kind of management position since then. So what are we talking about? 5 to 10 years as a manager? I cant imagine any retail store instantly firing a long time manager over an unconfirmed Reddit post. Maybe a warning, but a firing? And within days of the incident happening? I can barely imagine HR even picking up the phone on this, let alone firing a possible decade long employee with days of an Internet stranger calling their office.

Then we get into he broke into my email. The long known rallying cry of hoaxers. How exactly did this happen? Its not 1999. Even assuming there was no two-step, last time I tried to recover an old email I was bombed with recovery questions. Did this guy answer them all?

I dont know, something about this story doesnt ring true to me. Either this guy left A LOT out or hes making it up.
