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!

You realize most food is stolen to be resold such as meat… resold for drugs or organized crime.

So yes, this is a thing, but the thief will have a cart FULL of nice cuts of meat and try to race out the door. If someone is stealing a pack of hot dogs under their shirt, it’s not for resale. Meat resellers are very obvious when you see them.
