Some dude apparently ran behind the counter to steal cigarettes and hit him multiple times to get him out of the way. The guy hit him back and is now out of a job.

That's the fucking worst. Having worked in retail I can confirm that they'll let someone go rather than deal with the litigation that might come from the offender potentially getting harmed.

Criminals are having it easier, so long as they target average citizens.

I think back away and dont interfere is the best policy, but defending yourself against assault tosses that out the window. I guess if he didnt back away after, that could be grounds for termination, but still pretty shitty regardless.

Stuff like this just encourages more theft and assault and being fired over self defense, especially with all that's going on now, is complete bullshit.

It's strictly a CYA policy for retailers, they don't give a shit if you get assaulted, they just don't want to get sued

There should be some sort of stand your ground protection in place for employees in these types of situations.

It should fall under self defense legally but I guess a company doesn't have to care about that.

This. But honestly, were I a clerk making minimum wage I would let people steal whatever they wanted. I'm not risking my life to save the company 10 dollars.

Need an attorney?

In Texas you can use force as a private citizen to stop a theft.
