| Topic | Can anyone shoplift things under $500 without consequences now? |
| adjl 12/18/21 5:15:54 PM #29: | rjsilverthorn posted... The biggest risk is that trying to stop a shoplifter leads to a confrontation and someone gets injured or killed. Pretty much. Specifically, if the employee that tries to stop them is injured, the workplace will be liable for that unless they have specific policies and measures in place to avoid that risk (namely, telling workers not to confront shoplifters so any efforts to do so are entirely the employee's decision and therefore responsibility). In rare cases, they'll employ security that has their own insurance to cover that possibility, but most of the time, they stand to lose far more by endangering the employee than by recovering relatively low-value products. --- This is my signature.
