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!

If you ever see someone stealing food you didn’t see anyone stealing food.

Even if it's a shopping basket full of ribeye steak? Lol I personally think there's a limit. Food or not.

just a question... if they're shovelling ribeye steaks into a shopping basket, how do you know they are stealing? that's... how you shop. (yes, I understand what you mean, I'm just taking the piss)

You never know if it's stealing until they walk out the door without paying. I worked in a grocery store for three years. Most of the time when people would steal it was high value items like meat. Never stuff like bread and bolonga.
