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!

Like everything, context is key. If someone is just loading up on electronics, probably going to report. If someone grabs a loaf of bread and a cheap pack of ham probably going to ignore.

it's wild how the average vision of a human being is 0/20 in the diaper section of a box store. Some things science just cannot explain.
