I worked at Home Depot and they were really strict about not running after shoplifters. Usually you’d be fired on the spot for doing that. Personally I didn’t make enough to care
That’s crazy. Green light to steal it sounds like.
@@AfterPrisonShow I worked as a greeter at Walmart and we were to never try and apprehend someone stealing we were supposed to ask to check their purchases but we were only suppose to aggressively ask for the receipts of people with big ticket items such as T.V.s. everyone else we were supposed to just walk on by if they didn't stop to let us see their receipt.
Bottom line... they don't pay me enough to care.
Work in retail. You are definitely told not to stop them physically. The most you can do is make them feel like the store knows what they are doing. It works ok, considering what you can do. When I feel bad I look at what the company actually paid for the items, not the customer price, and I'm like oh it cost the company peanuts. I wonder if corporations can write it off as well...
Yup frig that shit. Let them steal the whole store. If they want people to get punched in the face, pay them tons of money and pay for any surgery required by being beaten up. Retail workers don't get paid enough to give a damn.
I've worked for Lowe's in the 90s. Employees stole more than anyone, then got cash returning the items to another Lowe's with no receipt necessary. Cash, no store credit!!!
These scholars were just trying to borrow those expensive tools to help build a school for less fortunate youth
They dont pay employees enough to care. Why risk your life? Pay for your armed security like everyone else Lowes.
I work there they can’t afford to give raises over a dollar let alone pay for a security service 😂
I may or may not work at Lowe's and you're supposed to let shoplifters leave without stopping them. I mean, do you really want to put your life on the line because someone wants to steal a few power tools? Props to that woman though for standing up to a shoplifter.
I was saying this to myself watching the intro also. You're not supposed to go after them. You become a liability more than the stolen merchandise.
Hey old man joe, been loving the videos lately. Keep it up 👍
Woah this production is wild !!
What's up Joe? I've been rocking with you since the beginning glad to see you are still doing this channel because I can't get into Joe does stuff for some reason. Should I send you another JustForMen bud? I loved Leafy myself, btw.
JOE YOU FOR SURE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BE REPLACED. BTW THIS SITUATION IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. HOW DARE THEIFS BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.. HAVE A GREAT DAY❣
Nah, she made herself a liability. Products are insured don't get hurt over them.
No she didn’t and she did the right thing .
@@Batman-lg2zjyou’re delusional. What about putting yourself at risk for a billion dollar company, while getting payed pennies, while that previously mentioned company already factors shoplifting into their numbers is the “right thing to do”?????
Its already accounted for and shes kind of a weirdo for doing that to begin with.
@@Batman-lg2zjnvm just saw your channel it explains everything I gotta know ☠️☠️☠️
Diiiiiiiiiiive into it.
thank you Joe for regular amazing content this is what we are all looking for
Many times they don’t want to get entangled in a case because as a representative of the store they’d be on the hood for what you did or potentially did to the suspect in the lead up to stopping them. They’d rather not pay the court costs in comparison to the value of theft. Probably also enforce a double standard behind closed doors for you not having stopped the thief if hypothetically you just didn’t try
Watching from the Bronx… I haven’t see you post anything. Happy you’re back. 👍👍👍👍
They need to give her a public apology. And a promotion with benefits.
Like seeing videos keep them coming. Hope your family is doing well and having a great summer.
I worked at Stop and Shop and people would grab stuff off the shelf and just walk out the door lol
JOE MY MAN I BEEN WATCHING YOU SINCE I WAS 13-14 and I’m 19 now and I still think you got something that these other cats don’t. You’re a great guy and I think you should bring back a random cooking video or maybe watching some trilogy media catching pedos Or scammers that would be hilarious. Love you Joe you always made me laugh :)
Your words are so true! I’ve been an APS fan from the beginning. I’m 62! So Joe has fans of all ages watching him.
I was missing the "DIVE." So let's all DIVE back into APS. I've been watching APS for 6-7 years. Been rocking with joe so long it's become a regular part of my life.
I almost lost my job 10 yrs ago when I was working at Harmons for running after a shoplifter and making them give back what they stole. My manager came over, apologized to who I found out was a serial shoplifter in the area, gave him the items back, and let him walk out of the store and was told "let the cops handle it"...but my manager never called the cops lol. Meanwhile, I got screamed at by my manager because he said I put the store at risked of being sued if I had harmed the shoplifter when I stopped him (mind you Im 5'5" and at the time weighed no more than 105lbs...how much harm was I going to do stopping a fully grown man who I didnt even put hands on him but simply ran in front of him and told him to hand over the items henjust stole!?). I was told to just let ppl go who stole from the store, which was often. This was a manager who was a grown man who refused to do anything when myself, a female coworker, and a few female customers kept being harrassed by another man right outside the store for cigs and money(like to the point this aggressive man was screaming in our faces and had us pushed up against the glass windows of the store). My manager wouldn't even call the cops...basically, he was a p**** who was scared of his own shadow. After these incidents I realized my minimum wage job was not worth my energy and just let ppl do as they please in the store and found a much better job so I could quit working at Harmons.
I find it ridiculous that they made a bigger deal in the media about the woman trying to do her job and stop shoplifters than the criminals themselves who obviously do this all the time if they were caught doing the same thing at a Walmart on the very same day. They should have just gotten jobs but instead they are going to get a prison sentence.
A year or so ago a thief burned down a home depot when he tried setting a fire as a destraction.
Great video Joe‼️ I had not even heard about this until I saw your video. 🌹
Keep em coming Joe 😉
I love that you are doing the true crime thing man. Love all the prison stories, but its cool to hear you talk about real events and see your reaction. Love all your content!
She not loss prevention do your job not someone’s else’s the shit is insured don’t risk your life for something they would fire you for.
Its awesome to see you back joe, with all these shoplifting, store is gonna keep closing down, alot of crazy stuff happening
always keeping it real joe i love all of your videos and i watch all of my favorite videos of yours everyday that I'm working it's great 😂😂😂 keep up the good work i hope someday you would do a reaction video to some of your most funny videos that would be amazing
Perfect joe u don’t gota be present every day but maybe once a week if you come across a gem story let us have it💪
whats up i was the kid from the drywall replacement you did sorry i was kinda awkward i didnt wanna ask for a picture because i mean you were working it was a pleasure meeting you
They shouldn't have fired her, though the policy does protect their employees from their own bad decisions. Chasing down some shoplifter that might turn around and stick a knife in you is ridiculously stupid. You have a family to go home too, don't lose your life over $2000 of Target merchandise. Cashiers aren't trained for this, and I can guarantee they've all been told: “let it go, or you will be.” It's an insurance nightmare, an employee killed while working looks bad. It looks even worse is they're seen to be supporting this behaviour. Ultimately they'd rather just take the loss, it's factored into their prices anyway.
No we need outlaws
I work at a grocery store a local one and we’re told that when we see someone stealing something to stalk them until they leave the store and then tell a manager because it’s not considered stealing until they leave the property
She deserves "employee of the year" and a Christmas bonus.
I work at a Circle K and we have similar policies in place. We can't even confront people for harassing customers because of "potential safety risks". These policies just embolden these thieves to not only steal but bully us employees, and it's utterly ridiculous.
The company will do whatever causes the least risk, paying for employee medical bills isn't cheap and doesn't return a profit. That's why we have police to deal with these situations, and that's who should be dealing with it before it gets out of hand. If they could do it without having to pay for the results, these companies would REQUIRE their employees to confront criminals, and that's not their job in the first place. Therefore, if you want that type of staff, it has to be security where you can train and limit your liabilities.
@@pyrrho314 Making the employee a sitting duck is still going to cause similar issues. There's plenty of instances where even cooperative employees are harmed by these criminals. Medical bills aren't the worry, new age social politics are. The company is scared of being sued by a thief or their family.
Dive right in joe
I have seen shop lifters run over employees to escape when you confront them in parking lots. Most businesses have a policy of not chasing shop lifters into the parking lot.
I felt like i needed scuba gear when Joe said diveeeeee in for the first time in a minute.
I used to work for Walmart. They had similar rules about not going after shoplifters for the safety of everyone involved. If I remember correctly, they could even fire you on the spot for trying to stop someone for shoplifting.
What's the point having LP?
When I worked in a store, we had the specific instruction not to engage with shoplifters.
This is because they can get violent and it has lead to shop employees to be stabbed. Imagine that in the US, where many people wear a gun just for fun..
If you look at this like this, this woman didn't just endanger herself. But also her colleagues and the customers that were in the store at that moment.
Absolutely love your shows Joe!!!
Ol' Joe, I've been DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEA'ing with ya for years. Bring back your prison stories. What got me subscribing & continually watching, especiall since I did time upsate too & no longer about that street/drug/prison/hustle life. One question though...did you SEND THAT? ✌️💖🤗
This is 1 story among a zillion:
I worked as a Gate Guard at Lowe’s in Lincolnton, NC from 96 - 99.
Earned a number of service awards from there for catching would-be thieves red handed. Also trained an untold number of Guards. Each person sent back up front when their receipt didn’t match their goods would file a complaint about Me.
My last year, I put in for a transfer to SC because NC people are mean. I said as much when I asked for the transfer. I go for the interview in Seneca, SC, where everybody is like little gingerbread people. Nobody gets mad, raises their voice or makes mistakes there. Such politeness. Seneca people are like Canadians. Near perfect. So I am granted the transfer and 2 weeks later, I move 3 hours away. I show up a half hour early and I am told to wait in the training room. The manager comes in and says that I have been terminated in transit without cause. He is originally from Gastonia, NC so he is not perfect. After I threw a righteous fit, ran over flower buggies in the parking lot and even chased 1 smart ass employee.with my untagged car, (I am from South GA and not perfect either) I laid rubber for the unemployment office. After some digging by them, it turns out that the aforementioned complaints about Me from Gypsy type customers were honored way down the road. As for the why on that one, it’s a mystery. No one was hurt when I showed my azz but they could have been. If so, then I might have a prison story of my own.
Thank God that’s not the case.
Yes, boycott Lowe’s.
Lowe’s blows ! 🍆
Hey Joe.. good video. Poor lady
Hey man ive been watching you on other accounts for years i love both your new content and old
How u been man hopefully good..miss that energy
My husband said it's against Lowe's policy to chase a shoplifter but does not know why Lowe's would hire her again. Lowe's has a loss prevention department that takes care of shoplifters.
Retail workers don't get paid enough to care. I'd have to be paid a ceo or even a celebrity salery to take a punch by a customer. Working retail sucks. Why instigate more shit when you're working?
Joe with the wes Watson red face.
Been hitting the burpees
😂😂
GOOD ONE JOE !
04:18 love the raw, primordial, heartfelt "STFU, Lowe's!" :-)
You know Joe pleanty of stuff just goes out the door at your Lowe's in Portsmouth.
Companies don't want to risk paying out large workers comp claims, replacing the merch is a lot cheaper.
A microcosm for the current state of the county. Zero self responsibility.
It's all fun and games until you get punched by someone that just didn't feel like showing a receipt. Or your employee puts their hands on someone that didn't feel like showing their receipt. There's a reason they have those zero tolerance policies about employees that aren't loss prevention going after people.
Aye, Joe is Family!
The way I look at it no matter what job you may have at lowes you don't get paid enough to try to stop a shop lifter...i can see why they would fire her even though its messed up!
That's crazy
Worked for Lowes for 20 years, recently got fired, don’t miss it one bit, except for a few select people.
Hey its no permit Joe
😂
It's been a while
Nevermind Lowes, your camera quality is banging!
I think here in GA its $500 and up is grand larceny
It looks like I’m gonna start shopping at Home Depot now
I did the same thing about Lowes…….. only Home Depot for me now🤷🏼♂️
I just might send this video to corporate headquarters. Lowe's sucks!
I worked for Lowes, one of the first things they teach is retention without detention (RWD) she could've lost life for a few items.
common policy with various stores around the UK....
GO JOE GO !!! Whatever happened to officer Megan Hall? Did she ever get sewn back together?
Good video!😊
Digging the OG APS.
Good to see you back for a minute. I dislike Lowe's and Home Depot so it can make shopping for hardware a task that's not enjoyable. And yeah, this is a horrible look for Lowe's. I'm digging the latest content too. Good job!
I did same thing and was almost fired at Publix
This sort of thing is super common for businesses here in Australia.
Personally if I was a shop assistant, i'm not sticking my neck out to save business profits.
Every company has the same policy.
It’s very clear and very specific.
You’re NEVER supposed to chase after and or touch the person stealing.
That’s what they have lost prevention for…
You would get fired doing this at any company… the rule is extremely clear.
They shouldn’t have fired her but it is a major issue for them legally to have their employees chase after someone.
You have to leave it to loss prevention and the police.
Not surprised.
I would come back with a hefty pay raise but the problems with corporate companies is, your just a number. Easily hired, easily fired, and easily replaced.
Anyone saying stuff like she deserved to be fired for " being a liability" is a clown.
That's BS. Big corporations have been documented and went on record for firing employees merely because the employee either
A) notified police for the incident
B) were the witness of a crime taking place, despite no intervention on their part.
You're damned if you do, damned if you don't in their eyes. They're not protecting your life as some of these people like to claim. In many instances, you are a liability for simply being there. Defending corporate BS is why things suck as much as they do these days.
ONCE A SHOPLIFTER BECOMES AGGRESSIVE/HOSTILE STORE POLICY THEY HAVE TO LET THEM GO AND JUST CALL POLICE. ONCE THE PERSON TAKES IT TO THAT LEVEL AND THEY DON'T LET THEM GO THE STORE IS AT FAULT FOR PUTTING THE OTHER SHOPPERS IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION.
Joe, I used to work at Lowes in Norwalk Ct and we'd see people walk out with chainsaws and lawn mowers and all we could do was report it. The CEO of Lowes is incompetent. We all felt that way.
The employees care enough to put themselves in danger, thing is the corporate head office don't care about the loss and will punish you for breaking their rules because they're scared they'll be sued.
Protocol is to block the entrance search the suspect and detain on suspected theft before involving police this can vary depending upon post orders some places let you get hands on while others only want you to observe and report
It sounds like Lowes has hit a Low Point..
Im actually from rincon, where this happened
Btw the grand larceny in Virginia threshold has changed. Look it up.
Great video Joe, I think what you were trying to say was that LOWE’S has “unclean hands” as the lawyers on RUclips say! Lol 😂✌️
Shout out H3 Podcast!!! Foot Soldiers + FupaTroopers, unite with Joe!!
family!
A lot of companies have policies about not chasing shop lifters. It’s a safety concern and could inadvertently effect others. She more that likely was trained not to and they were enforcing company policy. The fact she was there 13 years makes it worse cause she should have known not to.
On my way to Lowe’s! Lol
Most retail stores have that policy because they don’t want you to get injured or killed.
I just got fired from my job because I was in the wrong place wrong time. Because shoplifters foot hit mine on his way out, they fired me for breaking store policy.
Dam in California it's $400 or above to be grand theft
And these corporations wonder why noone gives af about their jobs
this reminds me of a story i heard about 2 girls that were fired from their job just for recording some thieves so they could give the police some evidence due to the fact their work place didnt have working cameras. from what i remember they didnt try to stop it or anything just recorded them and then once the thieves ran out they tried to get a quick shot of the get away car.
I worked at shopko we would physically Detain shoplifters.
While it’s common knowledge not to put yourself in danger as an employee of any company, bottom line is, she was assaulted and if anything should have been supported and given a stern warning and retraining, not get fired after being assaulted by some low down filthy shoplifters who are so low they resort to violence!
she was likley terminated due to some kind of no chase/ no interference policy. i got in trouble in a store I worked at for stopping a theft when I was younger.
I've missed ASP!!!!
That DIVE is creepy 😂😂😂
then the company has to pay her hospital bill which can easily cost more than the stolen goods were worth. It's better for it to be the police that deal with this sort of thing, or staff trained to be security.
It breaks my heart to see that picture of the woman with the black eye. And it's not just the black eye of course, but the pain being physical has a lot more shock value I think. Unbelievable what happened to this poor lady.
Yayyyy! H3…FAMILY! ✌🏼& ❤
Family!
