I'd say the bigger issue is if the manager fails to pay an employee for all hours worked (intentionally or accidentally), they don't get to have cops called to arrest them, it's on the employee to try to claw back their own money.
Wage theft is a far more significant issue than shoplifting but police, DAs, and legislators aren't chomping at the bit to address that like they are shoplifting, which should tell you everything you need to know about who our "justice" system serves.
