When I worked at tk maxx there were a couple of guys who lived for that shit. They kept being told not to, but they'd chase and grapple every single shoplifter.

I can’t imagine tackling someone for stealing from a tj maxx.

“Stop him! he’s getting away with a bag of stale snacks, a cracked pink salt lamp, and some scratched nonstick pans!”

I know, you wouldn't believe the number of times I said "why do you care?" to colleagues about various things

A friend worked at Sainsbury's and he'd be among the staff who'd chase after shoplifters and I used to ask him "why" a lot. He never really had a good answer but I suspect he was just bored and it livened up his day.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
