Normally I'm all for stopping shoplifters, but when they get violent I say it's best just to let go. Here's why...
This actually happened early last week and it was all over and done with by the time I got to work. I think I'm putting this in the right folder, if it's not, mods please do with it what you will.
New assistant manager out to prove himself spies a drag queen stealing cosmetics. Tried to alert LP, but A.M. had to use walkie talkie to page CSM, who in turn had to page LP as LP does not have walkie talkie to hear A.M. call him. As it is, our LP is usually hiding from real work anyway and to this day I don't think anyone is clear as to where he was at the time since he never answered his page.
A.M. follows drag queen out the door and then stops him/her. D.Q. tries to sprint, A.M. grabs D.Q. and they go down. A wrestling match ensues. CSM calls 911 in the meanwhile. D.Q. begins biting and valiant A.M. holds on. Amazingly enough, the police show up in just a minute. Their response time usually isn't too good when it comes to Wallyworld so everyone was surprised. D.Q. arrested and the cosmetics are saved.
A.M. thinks nothing of bites...until one on his leg gets infected. Something about the A.M. being diabetic means he now faces possibility of having his leg amputated.
Please people, don't try to be a hero over some crappy make up. You could wind up with the possibility of losing one of your limbs.
Note: No offense to drag queens intended. These are just the facts.
