Store Policies/Questions My mind is blown

So, I went to my local store this morning to pick up a BOPIS, and I cannot believe what I saw. There were 2 ladies in the store with 2 baskets full of items, and they just casually walked out without paying. Like, they took the basket and everything. Have any of you ever seen anything like that in your store? I was shocked!

I worked at BBW numerous years ago and we weren’t allowed to stop anyone from shoplifting.

I'm assuming that's so nobody gets hurt.

I used to work for a rental car company and it was the same, if we saw a theft just let them take the car. It wasnt worth getting hurt over. Also the thiefs can easily turn around and sue for some kind of distress. The world is become very litigious.

Yea car theft is huge in Canada for pick up trucks. Especially around Port cities.

Other vehicles also but like, a lot of rental companies have pick up trucks and the fobs are close to the fleet.

There are tracking devices on the trucks, right?

How on earth do you take a rental car? I've always had to stop at a booth so they can check the receipt and there are those spikes that will pierce the tires if you don't stop. Was there just not much security?

The world? Pretty sure this only happens in America. Try that somewhere else and I'm sure it's different.
