    When I worked at tk maxx there were a couple of guys who lived for that shit. They kept being told not to, but they’d chase and grapple every single shoplifter.

      I can’t imagine tackling someone for stealing from a tj maxx.

      “Stop him! he’s getting away with a bag of stale snacks, a cracked pink salt lamp, and some scratched nonstick pans!”

      A friend worked at Sainsbury’s and he’d be among the staff who’d chase after shoplifters and I used to ask him “why” a lot. He never really had a good answer but I suspect he was just bored and it livened up his day.
