19 Year Old Punk Beats Up Our LP!

Doesn't the physical violence/assault turn it into robery or am I thinking of it needing to involve a weapon or threat of a weapon. And thank goodness for the customer for pulling the shit bag off the LP guy.

In Illinois and most other states, yes.

For his sake, I hope he's that tough in the slammer, otherwise he can expect something up his wise ass.

Thief? *knows Garrett, but can't really give more description, other than Eidos...*

This kinda goes back to when I was talking about LP guys taking matters into their own hands. Know that you're taking a big chance in going that route.

APAs are very commonly transferred to other job codes, but very rarely fired at my store. I expect situations where I can't do what I want, but I can remember policies well, and will do what policy says, unless that last part that i quoted from the job description isn't true, we have several street gangs in the area(many members have military training as well) and have had at least one incident on store property involving bloods, crips, and a gun.

One guy got into a fight with an APA much like the one you described, an assistant manager, and a co manager. The APA suplexed him .

I know I'm not the only person to read that and picture these guys



suplexing the guy.

It always was the lower amounts that gave me the most trouble when I did LP, bizarre really.

The people who go for the big stuff are probably better at it.

actually, the people who steal small stuff are smarter... in most states the difference between misdemeanor shoplifting and felony shoplifting is the dollar value... there is actually a story from Reno about a guy who was caught shoplifting and they were going to charge him with felony shoplifting because he was $.50 over the limit for felony... he was able to point out that he had a dollar off coupon in his wallet and successfully argued that that put the dollar value at $.50 under the felony limit and he should only be charged with misdemeanor and

smiley-there are loopholes in the security of retail stores where it's in the "not worth getting sued over" category, people can exploit those and have a very low risk of getting caught

Too bad the show 'America's Dumbest Criminials' is not still on. This would have made a good episode!

Tell that to Garrett (cookies for the reference)
