It was not my worst mistake. I succesfully carried out all appropriate behavior for the situation that I was able to. That choice was not mine to make..... yet.
Peace.

Just a thought but since you apparently couldn't bust this guy in spite of his obvious vandalism with intent to shoplift, wouldn't it have made more sense to wait until he left the store with the removed DVDs? That way you could have actually said he was shoplifting. Right Kojak?

I would have shot them but all I had on hand was a cell phone.
Do you think the sheriff would have understood me killing four kids for attempted trespassing?

Once again, I did everything that the company allows someone in my position to do. I'm an hourly supervisor, but only salaried members of management can confront and apprehend shoplifters. Like I said, it wasn't my choice.
And, actually, its difficult to apprehend them. The policy is that if you lose eye contact with them for even one second after they have taken the product, then you cannot stop them. Its a huge liability issue, basically.
Honestly, most of the time, there isn't anyone in front of the cameras. The attiude is that it is sitten written off as a percentage of shrink in inventory. If you can engage your associates to practice behavior that will deter shoplifting, as I did, then so much the better.
The dude, quite simply, was a fucking moron. You don't go into the store like that on a Monday afternoon, around 4 pm, to steal. The store isn't nearly as busy as it is in the evening, and most of the associates will be on the salesfloor. In the evening, most of the salesfloor associates will be running cash registers, since there isn't enough cashiers, and the store will be full.... A MUCH better time.
Peace.

Do they provide you the kid gloves to treat all the shoplifters or do you have to buy those yourself? Thank God Wal-Mart gets all it's merchandise from China so they can afford to let some of it go out of the store for free and not worry about it.
