It used to be that when a store got stolen from it would be as much of an all-hands effort as the store could muster to get the shoplifter before they left the parking lot.
I worked in a grocery store when I was in high school and one of the managers was a guy that had been a collegiate track star. He caught a guy shoplifting once in a way that could only be described as heroic.
He saw the guy walking around the store the entire time he was in there filling up a cart. He parked the cart near the back of the store where we later found out he had a car waiting for him.
The manager sees the guy starting to go out of the emergency door in the back. The alarm goes off, and before you could say stolen merchandise this store manager jumped over a register like it was a hurdle, ran around to the back, and met the getaway car as they were trying to flee the scene.
I have to admit, it was quite the sight seeing someone run at a car and jump perfectly onto the hood like you were watching an action movie.
The point is, that people not only had pride in where they worked, but they were also allowed to have that pride and be allowed to show it by keeping the place safe from thieves.
Apparently now, doing the right thing by your place of business will just get you fired.
Take for example the case of Ian McMinn, the son of a police officer who was working at a Meijer store in Ohio. He had to learn recently that doing the right thing often comes with a kick in the seat as opposed to a pat on the back.
He was working for the store, collecting used shopping carts out from the lot when he saw what looked like several employees chasing a shoplifter out of the store in an attempt to catch the thief.
So he did what his police officer father would have likely done, he took down the license plate number of the car the shoplifter got into and gave it to the store manager.
They fired him. Yes, they fired him due to a technicality in the store’s rules that forbade him from walking the extra few feet onto an adjoining lot to get the plate number.
Despite doing the right thing, they still let him go. It’s sickening that there are so many policies in place by liberals that allow for things like this to happen. Only in Biden’s America will you have people fired from jobs for doing the right thing and shoplifters rewarded.
