In this thread: people that don’t know how franchises work, and think he is stealing from 7/11 corporate and not a couple of franchisees that may have to shut down for someone stealing their entire behind-the-counter inventory

The guy behind the camera is a fucking cunt. Telling staff they can't do anything. Then after his beating helps him avoid the cops because he's his 'brother'. Fucking shameful.

... And at the very end, as he's being taken out of the store (by a remarkably level-headed and seemingly quite caring dude) - "hey man can I get a soda?" The fuck is wrong with these people

My guy with the stick looks like a fan of Singaporean justice.

Love the thief near the end doe: "Ayy man, can I get a soda?" 🤭

I would definitely not be risking my life for 7 fucking 11!

They probably own it and it’s their only livelihood

So satisfying to watch. I'm glad they went against the corporate policy and didn't let him get away with it.

Am I the only one thinking, "The second the police remove that guy from the store, those proprietors are picking up all that merchandise from the floor and from that dirty trashcan and restocking it on their shelves."?

Yeah no shit they are, I mean as long they didn't get smashed I see no problem with selling cigarettes that landed on the ground. Those guys had a bad enough day, they don't have to eat the inventory too.

Violence to protect the property of a corporation is gross.

In the last 5 years, I’ve lost my pharmacy, 2 grocery stores and a general store because scumbags steal so much the stores shut down. I now don’t have anything within 5 miles

It’s possible I should have more sympathy, but I don’t.

Eh, if you're threatening people with violence while carrying weapons AND being a thieving dick, I don't mind this too much.

And that's given that the store is a huge corporation, which I don't know if it even is.

Bootlickers assault someone on behalf of a faceless corporation that would replace them in an instant. I worked retail for almost a decade and at every single place we were never supposed to confront a shoplifter let alone do violence to them, that means you get fired.

Edit: wow, y'all are psycho pieces of shit. I would never hire y'all.

I see it as a shop manager doing what the police and the thief's parents never did and actually punishing him for breaking the law. We're not talking about a poor guy trying to steal some food to get by, he's taking thousands of dollars worth of behind-the-counter merchandise to make a profit for himself. You probably think "oh well they have insurance" but when the insurance company pay out thousands for the lost merchandise, who do you think picks up the bill? The 7-11 does. Who do they pass that bill on to? The paying customer. So theft from this shop is theft from everyone who legitimately uses this shop. Then when those people see that prices here are double what they are at the supermarket, they don't shop here anymore, the store closes and the community is out of another resource.

The way I see it, the shopkeepers are not bootlickers at all, they're ensuring a community resource isn't lost, along with their own jobs, and that profiteering theves think twice about trying to do this again.

It’s probably the franchise owners. At the end of the day they themselves incur the loss, not 7-11. Franchise owners buy all their inventory and sell it, sending a percentage of sales or a flat rate to the franchise brand corporation. 7-11 doesn’t lose money if they get robbed

You should go back to reddit with this low IQ shit.
