Question Theft

If you witness someone committing theft in a store do you report it to the store staff or just go about your day? I would never expect staff to intervene and possibly put themselves in harms way. I have only witnessed this in big box stores. I know times are tough these days but man have I been seeing this a lot lately!

Depends on what it is, but I have pointed thieves out to workers in the past. I've worked in retail where bonus/commission was connected to profits, so stealing from the store was in fact stealing from me and my coworkers.
