Man Says Best Buy Fired Him for Stopping Suspected Shoplifter

- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2021
- These alleged shoplifters were caught on camera strolling out of a store, carrying a giant bag apparently filled with stolen items. And, they didn’t seem too worried about getting into trouble. At a Best Buy location in Houston, an employee grabbed at a suspect’s backpack that he said was filled with stolen goods. They ended up in a tug-of-war scuffle that made it past store doors. The employee managed to wrestle the bag away. He told Inside Edition that he was ultimately fired for doing so.
Somebody please find the former bestbuy employee and give him a better paying job. Trust me, you WANT guys like that working for you.
Workers like that get themselves killed. Unless you're a police officer you have no right to stop someone and force them to give back stolen merchandise.
No you don't want workers like that he could get everybody in worse trouble tryna be a hero
He's a hero for sure. U never know what a thief might do. I'm so glad he didn't get hurt. They should have given him a raise instead of firing Him , what jerks they r.
@@InfoBinger The thieves aren't murderers, they're only stealing because they know they can get away with it.
@@InfoBinger I say those thieves deserve a shotgun to the face
Only in America where criminals have more rights than the law abiding citizens. What a shame!
Only in California
Send those punks to Texas, we’ll show them what happens to thieves
What a shame.
@@Quantiples what would you do to shoplifters in Texas? Invite them to square dance?
We Have the Democrats, To thank for this
Basically letting criminals get away with everything, but when good people do something ooohh noooo fire them. Bruh
Democrats moment
@fairy wishes Its Democrats who told cops to stand down and let nonsense like this happen all around the cities, and they're the cause of the world getting worse, along with China, and Bill Gates.
@@SquidCena why does this have to be political?
Laws don't have to make sense in America. As long as liberals make conservatives mad and vice versa. That's the goal
@@Mylifesuckslol ikr they literally turn everything into politics
This is just ridiculous. He tries to save merchandise, and he gets punished.
I bet they do this on purpose to continue their political narratives …when is enough enough
All stores actually forbid you from getting into physical altercations, if even if your preventing a theft, your still gonna get fired.
@@DarKKnightt07 I know. It's ridiculous. It makes no sense
@@DarKKnightt07how come there's videos of target employees detaining people, why didn't they get fired?
he was terminated cuz he didnt follow employee policy, best buy would rather their employees not get hurt rather they want them to stay out of it, since this guy didnt he got fired
Imagine Stopping A Shoplifter And Then Getting Fired In Return.
Imagine Capitalizing Every Letter At The Beginning Of A Word.
We don't have to imagine it any more, here it is right in front of us.
@@Evercreeper ha! I didn't even notice that!
It reminds me of that life guard who rescued someone DROWNING in an area apparently they weren’t supposed to rescue someone, so they ended up getting fired. Yes this actually happened.
@@Evercreeper imagine lower-casing the first letter of each word.
That Best Buy employee did a better job than the security guard🤦🏾♀️
He’s a fool.
He was told not to interfere and he did.. give him the big steel toe
No need for security guard in stores now. What’s the point.
They don't do anything or else they're sued
He’s a fool
That ain’t his job
He basically put his life on risk for just going against the policy
How embarrassing is that to have security just for him/her to stand there n do nothing
LOL
He shouldn’t of been fired, but educated that his life is worth more than what ever they stole. You don’t know if these people have guns, and perhaps if you still 3x then make it a felony or something
J W. It’s a shame that you’re right. Catching a petty criminal shouldn’t be such a risk. Damn shame
If your stealing video game consoles with a backpack i would say its pretty safe
Yea but you never know if reincarnation exist
I'm a retail worker and I've been told by my manager several times not to stop shop lifters and just let him take care of it. Just because we don't physically stop the thief doesn't mean we don't do anything. We use the security footage to take send out pictures to other stores and tell them to keep an eye on them. (Thieves generally won't do anything if they're being watched.) Firing someone over it is pretty extreme though. That's more of a "have the manager talk to them" kind of deal.
@@insertwittyname5649 lol you sound dumb… you don’t physically stop them but you send out photos to other stores? So what does that do? When the guy goes to the other store he’s just going to steal from there to and that store is going to send photos again to another store? Hahaha
“Why don’t retailers care??”
*employee stops shoplifter and gets fired*
This is a policy of many places believe it or not. I worked at Lowe’s in Florida about 15 years ago and it was the same. It was about the safety of the employees and others around in case the thief had a weapon. They had cameras so they would pursue it that way. But they did not want you to try and to stop the person. However this going on in California is a bit extreme. Especially when the same people keep doing it.
They'll have to pay the lawyer to represent in court which will cost more than stolen items I guess
@@MadhavendraSinghBika Lol. Court system be like
Because they will raise prices and us paying customers will have to suffer the consequences
It's because risk of lawsuits by the criminal who may win in any cases depending how left leaning your city is
I blame the people putting these ignorant politicians into office. Wait until all of their stores close down. Summer of Love is just getting started...
The politicians don't care about the people those who care die or get killed
Regardless, if you've ever worked in retail, you'd know that you're not supposed to accuse customers of stealing or prevent customers from stealing.
You mean "democrat" politicians.....
@@penetrasean Everybody with "Commonsense" still intact you mean.
cant blame those ppl. politicians can think up anything while in office. stores can close down all they want….itll just promote the thieves to travel to another neighborhood. and i dont think ppl in affluent neighborhoods would want that to happen.
I feel like we’re in the Upside Down in America.
Full-on Democratic Party degradation of society.
@@jerrys.1910 Most of our problems started with the Republican party, and we’ve just had an insane, authoritarian wannabe leader.

This is unacceptable. Thieves needs to go to jail. I guarantee this will never happen at Target?
Im heading to target right now to pick up some free stuff LOL!!!!
So did you forget all the Blm protests ?
What makes you assume it couldn't happen at a Target? 🤔
All retail store has this rule, it's a liability if you get hurt or get someone hurt in the process of you trying be a hero.
@@Derai12 a wise man once told me “don’t be a hero”
Stores won’t close down due to theft, prices will increase and the people who follow the law will end up paying the consequences. This is ridiculous
Then stop following the law and do something about it , obviously the law doesn't protect law biding citizens like it's supposed to
Purge
Then vote democrat, simple.
Isn't it people that follow the law that always get the short end of the stick. Works the same way with law abiding gun owners. I just don't know how they do it with all those violent guns around.
Like everything, inflation.
This is absolutely sick. The criminal shouldn’t have more rights than the employee who stops him. The employee is a hero for getting involved and stopping the thief unlike the other employees. He should be promoted, not fired.
its literally against the rules at all retail store to stop thieves. Been told a few times i would get fired for doing so. They don't want to be held liable for if you get hurt when the thief turns around and defends themselves
@@darkespeon64 so theyd rather go bankrupt and tolerate those thieves? 🤦🏽♀️ Those thieves will never stop and will just continue to get bolder and get more and more each time. 😤
@@soonsuicidal It's literally the law. There is higher risk of going out of business with wreckless employees getting hurt than some theft. You don't even want to think of the amount of money you'd be liable to pay for a serious injury if you're put at fault.
@@AcageronJunk yeah yeah i understand that. With the amount of salary they get, its not worth it. The law is just effed up. Like sometimes its just against the good people or people who just want to do the right thing. 🤷🏽♀️
Best buy is not an ethical company protecting them from theft is not a heroic action.
So bad people can rob Whoever Whenever, and if you try to stop them you'll be ostracized or fired. Hmm...crazy world we live in these days.
World? Just your America lAnD oF tHe fReE hOmE oF tHe bRaVe
This is the rule at pretty much all retail stores to never try to stop a theft.
It’s due to liability reasons, not to mention you don’t know if the robber has a gun etc.
It’s better merchandise gets stolen than people’s lives
That best buy employee is a boss I'm sure private companies would love to have him
Shoplifter: I’d like to apply
Best Buy: you’re hired
He was only fired because it’s a retail store rule if they’re running out with merchandise you let them go the risk is too high so would the lawsuit. So hypothetically speaking this man got himself fired it’s literally in the handbook in bold letters “DO NOT CHASE AFTER SUSPECTED SHOPLIFTERS NOTIFY MANAGEMENT AND TAKE DOWN A DESCRIPTION TO FIND THAT PERSON ON THE CAMERAS” he just couldn’t listen.
@@nwgecho8684 Yup glad he was fired for being a douche. It is in the handbook
All employees at retail stores steal stuff
@@Arz2003... lol wtf? No they don't. I've worked retail for years and haven't stolen a thing.
@@Arz2003 maybe you do lmao
The person that fired him was probably in on the scheme
Yep....
Nah corp policy workers not supposed to confront shop lifters
@Nimble Me I initially thought that, but then realized that would involve someone more than just a store manager. But if you go above the store manager, then that person’s salary should be good enough to just get the things the person was stealing anyway, and at a discount price at that.
Hadn't thought of that🤯.
@Jre gere it's just as likely as these guys stealing for an orphanage
Happened to me too. Blockbuster Music fired me in the mid-90s when I saw someone shoplift and he lied saying I used a racial slur which I absolutely did not. I worked for them for 7 years and they fired me simply because he said that lie. Still cannot believe they fired a loyal, decent manager.
BestBuy also fired half their employees in 2020 (more profitable than 2019) and increased bonuses for management. Hired in part time to save money but give awful service, I give BestBuy just ~5 years before it sinks like circuit city.
All I can say is “That law is the most stupid thing, I’ve ever heard”
@N Gonzales nah
Don’t tell me if you guys going to be part of the criminals.
What? Its the best thing in the world! Pick up whatever you want and leave with no consequences 😂😂😂
i do it all the time
Even the most concervative states law is set up in this same way. A change of law didn't cause this. These people clearly were stealing over the felony threshold anyway.
Joe Biden for ya
Yes, because coddling criminals will stop crime… 🤦♂️
Liberals in a nut shell.
Right….let’s just reason with them. And “reimagine community policing”
It’s like defunding police will stop crime also.
@@libtard.4844 How is this liberals? This same law is in almost every state even concervative ones. Also these people stole we'll over the raised threshold. So again what does this have to do with the law or liberals
@@joeb134 you're very wrong. It's only a handful of liberal states. And it is most definitely liberal policies. They don't steal over the raised threshold normally either. The fact that it was raised was also liberal policy. I live in California. I know exactly who's fault this is and we're recalling him.
Best Buy should give that man his job and a raise.
Whoever is the manager of Best Buy who fired that guy for stopping a shoplifter should get his job as a manager revoked
Don’t blame the store manager. Blame the CEO and other people with the highest cooperate power. A typical store manager usually only follows company and store policy.
The guy who got fired.. should go on shopping spree at the same store lmao
Hell yeah
LOL madlads
YESS!! 😆
Yessir
lol he'd the one they arrest to make an example of.
Employee: *stops shoplifter*
Best Buy: you weren’t supposed to do that.
It’s the same thing at Target my friend just got fired for doing the exact same thing
It is not worth it. Its not your store. Dont endanger yourself.
I work in a grocery store and it's actually in our employee handbook we can't stop shoplifters
@@cold6959 Exactly!! He actually should know better
It's cause those businesses have a deterrent theft policy
Since the Guy was fired, he should just go back and shoplift.
Or lit the place on fire
There needs to be a national crackdown on shoplifters. It’s become so bad that every company is afraid to do anything for legal or insurance reasons.
Except that's not how the US works. Each state has their own rules.
I was at H&M the other day, and the cashier just mumbled to herself
"he just stole something but I don't get paid enough for that"
Amen!
yup
Well she don’t
She’s right tho…
How much do they think they should make to make it worth it? $50 an hour? 🙄
$7.50 an hour is not worth the risk of stopping a shoplifter. Dont be a hero the corporation does not care about the employees.
So true!
It’s called principles something you will never have

@@drozone3658 You talking about the corporation not working in good faith with employees? HAHAHAHAHAHHA
Facts
What’s wrong in our society ? No body owes you anything. Work for it.
That's a lawsuit right there alone just for protecting the merchandise in the store, it gets fire and it was me. I will Sue the company.
Anything under $10 should be considered misdemeanor, not $950.
Because some people would steal for food to live etc and less than $10 is fine. But $950 is an iPhone.
$950 is half iPhone in India and salary of a middle class man. If he is lucky.
Can just steal 10x lol
I wouldn’t say it’s fine but makes sense
Maybe under $100
Go to a food bank
Isn’t it insane how criminals have more rights than those of us who abide by the law?????
At the end of the day they’re citizens. Hell you can literally come here illegally and still have rights.
That’s why we have a criminal statue up

Good on that Best Buy employee for standing up for what's right and denouncing a crime being committed in front of him. Good people do not stand by with their arms crossed.

It’s because the blm clowns will call them racist if they confront the thief’s and try to stop them
Trxly dude..what??
The person that made the law should be in jail
@@Trxxly you know, not everything has to do with BLM. Just because you hate on something doesn’t mean you can just blame it on whatever. Using your logic I can technically say: “American Burgers tastes too oily and bad because of the Republicans!” You can’t just put two random topics together and blame on for the other’s problem. That’s not how logic works bud
It’s always those people.
This man is a fool. Never trust a greedy corporate. I hope he learnt his lesson.
As much as I am against shoplifting, I’m not going to stop one. Not my pay grade. Those big stores make billions each year. If they want to stop it, they can hire better security or bribe a politician to change the law.
It’s literally not our job they have asset protection for a reason, they tell you to not be a hero in training in retail it only backfires
Apparently, they don’t want you to stop them,.. or else you’ll get fired like the guy on the video.

How do you get fired for stopping a shoplifter? He should take Best Buy to court
I can believe this. I used to work security for a mall. I was told strictly not to interfere with criminal activity to include theft. I fully understood that I was not a cop, but what's the point of having a security team that is not allowed to secure or prevent anything? I loved helping customers, but at the end of the day, it was one of the lest fulfilling and worst jobs I ever had.
“I was fired for stealing from a cash register, what about you?”
“Oh, yeah I stopped some thieves.”

Unreal. If no one stops it will continue.
Truthfully, jobs don’t pay enough to put your life in danger over a store’s INSURED merchandise. I worked for a company that fired a manager after he was drug by a car down an 8 lane road in a attempt to stop a thief from getting away. People value your life more then a store’s merchandise that doesn’t belong to you. They will fire you then hire the next person to take you place the very next day.
Problem is...everyone will get into the game. You know, like the employees will walk each day home with stuff in their own backpacks, if everyone can abuse the system, then we will all suffer, because most of us will fall to the temptation. The only way is to enforce respect for the law.

It’s all part of the plan. When the world falls apart we’ll allow the government to come in and save us. Then we become dependent on them to survive which means they’ll be able to control us
I mean idk how it'll benefit the Gov but Massive Corporations benefit from this lawlessness it drives out small business
It’s because the blm clowns will call them racist if they confront the thief’s and try to stop them
It is the District Attorney... he is a George Soros puppet
@@Trxxly hi racist clown what on earth does this have to do with blm?
STOP RISKING YOUR LIFE FOR THOSE UNGRATEFUL COMPANIES.
That's what some wanted the US to do in WW2
Compassion towards the criminal is cruelty towards the law abiding,
This is just infuriating. Ordinaries like us pay for that stuff just for them to get away. Hope the policies change
Well... when there's a shoplift, most of the time, the retailers increase the price. So, you can be very infuriated, because in the end you pay what was stolen.
Most retailers don’t want you to do anything when people steal. It’s a liability thing. 🤷🏽♀️ It’s dumb but oh well.
I've seen people blatantly steal and the workers did nothing. It's ridiculous. They need to not he cheap and hire security. It's not my money I guess 🤷♂️
How is that dumb? It actually makes sense.
@@Tat2Dragons how exactly?
Companies value there employees safety over some cheap chinese product worth 5bucks off sweatshop assembly lime
I'm sure there's an insurance on theft.. its not worth chasing them. Poor guy, lesson learned dont try to be a hero for the big corps.
I'd give that guy a raise and a promotion!
Because. Our law makers needs to be. Fired for not. Doing their job. People wake up. Stop feeding our lawmakers. We need. A new law.
Everyone is too sensitive that we can’t flipping protect the jobs that we work for
As an employee you follow orders and that's it.
