That's so bizarre to me because in my job we're expected to act against shoplifters. We're told to physically block them from leaving the store, try to grab what they've taken before they run, and if necessary even chase them outside to see if they get into a car. We can also perform a "citizens arrest" or close the shutters. Obviously we can't literally attack them, though.

It's a clothing store with some minor luxury items, but it's still a minimum wage job and I'm not going to put myself in harms way for that bullshit.
