This is common practice. Pizza Hut manager was skimming from the cash register. The waited several months before having the police come in and charge him for over $1000 in theft.

NAL This makes them (the store) intelligible to try and recoup costs in civil court due to the responsibility of the plaintiff to minimize damages.

I understand the option to prosecute the guy but what isn't talked about is if Meijer tried to work with him and gave him second/third/etc chance by saying "hey, we saw. Let's figure out what's happening"

I literally worked with a manager in grocery who did this with people and got mixed results but he still tried. 3 people turned around out of a dozen or so who eventually quit. There was one guy, I'll call him Ryan, who would eat yogurt and huff whip cream gas whenever he got the chance. After 6 months of hell he was finally hauled off after being found passed out in the dairy case. Probably from the whipped cream.

I was a bagger and so was Ryan. I had to work twice as much for those 6 months because he was so bad as an employee.

Lemmy doesn't see the second chances. They only get the end result. And folks sure are excited to shit on someone when they are swayed by clearly biased writing. I don't like corporations as much as y'all but the company didn't make the guy steal. It wasn't entrapment. They solved a problem. What steps did they take before the police? No idea. But the article also manipulated folks into thinking he was special needs when it was just a guess by the author. It's fucking lunacy that someone can ask a question about any missing details not provided by the article and have so many down votes based on believing the propaganda.
