Give up. Follow them to the back room. Wait for the police. Or Run. Probably run.

I saw a guy shoplift at grocery store recently, one of the employees asked him to stop but he just kept walking like he didn't hear anything and got on his bike and left, this was a medium sized store and didn't have any LP, I think at some stores it makes sense to just ban people instead of hiring LP, thing is it's usually expensive to hire someone who is able to approach someone who is stealing since apprehensions can be dangerous, and I think some stores LP makes people feel uncomfortable even if they aren't lifting anything, I don't personally lift things, but it always turns me off browsing stores when it's obvious that I'm being followed around the store. So in a sense Hiring LP can be a double loss, I think there's a lot of trust involved in business and that's something a lot of big box stores forget. And I mean it's kind of hypocritical for some stores to be posing as ethical, with donations to food banks etc, while also giving people criminal records for stealing groceries. They probably pay at least $60k in just wages for security... And obviously people still steal.

This scenario happened to me last december... I continued to run outside the final exit... I had run about 75 meters when I saw that lp's were chasing me.and yelling àt me to stop...

I dropped all my purchases and loot...and started running at a faster pace... There were some old scary looking geezers walking towards me... One of the geezers chased me and pushed me...I fell on the road....I was dragged back into the store...where I was manhandled... cash in my upper shirt pocket snatched by lp...a.cop was called.

The cop slapped me and in doing so scratched my upper nose with his fingernails so badly that it began bleeding and wouldn't stop despite applying pressure...

The cop had a motorcycle & told me to sit at the rear.. I pleaded with the cop not to take me.to the police station...I offered a bribe..the cop was agreeable to taking $20...he then let me walk away...

this ia not a usa incident...this happened in a large city in the 3rd world..in a store very similar to walfart...

There is still a 1 1/2 scar on the center top of my nose five months later....
