This is crazy, he should have gotten a raise/promotion instead of getting fired

Where is normalcy these days? The guy did a good thing. Should they hire the 3 thief’s instead? I feel I’m slowly losing my mind. Did the world seriously come together when I was sleeping and just say let’s do everything backwards and see what happens?

It's like Bizarro Clown-world today, totally opposite of what was the right thing to do in the 70s compared to today's sad state of affairs

Sounds like they made a clean getaway.

From the store's point of view arresting them vs not arresting them, I guess they figure it all comes out in the wash.

Tragic, isn't it? He did the right thing and yet they hung him out to dry.

Once it's out of the media spin cycle, he'll be forgotten :(.

As long as the media has something to Gain® by airing out dirty laundry, the Tide® will never change.

Great puns. It looks like they've got a whole laundry list of them.

The supermarket employee was just trying to deter gents from a life of crime.

Well here is my opinion after reading the full article, probably not in line with what most people think.

I think it is not a good trend that employees can do absolutely nothing. Well, maybe better to have Security Guards rather than regular employees doing intervention. But I hear that, in addition to employees being 100% hands off, the retailers are even cutting back on Security staff and also telling them they cannot do too much. Well, then are we surprised that the criminals don’t have any fear??

BUT, I think it was fine for this employee to film the events on his phone (the more evidence the better) but I am 100% on the company’s side that he should not have appointed himself a private investigator and posted the photos he took on TikTok. I might well have fired him myself for doing that.
