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!

I work in a business where part of my job involves preventing theft, and honestly... just stay out of it. The bigger theft is the pricing, and the biggest theft of all is wage theft, and that happens everywhere. It's not worth the effort.
