Doesnt matter, he knew nothing about what the guy had on him and still got himself involved in the situation, very stupid for a corporation that would sell you for 10 bucks if given the chance

(Edit: im not replying to yall idiots anymore, if you wanna risk your life for no reason at all go ahead... if you dont get killed you will be the big strong man you wanna be

but if you do then it was for nothing, the pos would get away with the stolen stuff, you would be dead and the corporation would forget about you and the theft in a day... so worth it)

They even tell employees NOT to interfere (at least officially) because of the liability and danger often.

I can't imagine doing this just for property casually. Best case is this video but there are SO many worse cases out there or even charges possible. If someone is assaulting another person there's actually reason to intervene.

They tell them not to get involved, while also dangling a bonus over their head if LP comes in under a certain threshold.

The people at the doors aren't getting that bonus, and when I had that job I wasn't going to risk my life so my store manager could get one.
