GOOD

Fuck that former employee

You aren't being stolen from, a company is.

You aren't losing money, the company is

You don't gain anything by interfering, the company does

You don't get rewarded, you have rewarded the company (assuming you stop the theft)

YOU DON'T MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO CARE ABOUT SHOPLIFTERS

I don't care how much you make. You don't make enough.

If you, as someone with a lower quality of life (relative to the rich) than a medieval peasant and who definitely doesn't have the money to take care of potential medical bills thy arise from a potential altercation.

I cannot fathom caring so much about a company's profits that I intervene in any shoplifting.

Note: when I worked for a sporting goods retailer, the ONLY thing I ever did was inform a manager when I believe someone was stealing ammo for a gun. Never gave a shit about clothing, food, or even sports equipment, but in my opinion there's very few reasons to steal firearm ammunition, almost none of them involve a needy person who will use them for benefit.

If you see someone shoplifting, especially from a company, no you fucking didn't
