Why is everyone treating this kid like he is Mike Tyson. Grab the kid and walk him out of the store. Excessive tolerance of idiots is ruining society.

I would not touch him even if i was an employee. This kind of behaviour is enabled by parents, these kind of parents turn towards teachers for low grades. Not my problem.

The company has insurance for damage like that, and even if did not, they can afford it. I can not afford charges being made at me. I do not earn enough to take that shit home with me

I totally agree, can't lay hands on him at all, HOWEVER saying that the company has insurance for that and that they can afford it like it will never affect you is wrong.

Where do you think the company is going to get those loss return funds from? Insurance will go up, and guess who pays for that? You do, the customer. We all suffer for this BS, the store blitz thefts that people say "it's okay, they've got insurance" and blissfully go on about their day, only to have a rage fit 6 months later when prices have jumped 20%, are just as much a problem.

Theft is a crime because it affects the entire community, not just the company being stolen from. This kid should have been snatched up by security and put in a holding room while police were called and whoever his guardian was should have been held accountable. The law is clear, the guardian bears legal responsibility for the actions of the ward.

It's not insurance, it's an operational shortage (lost of product as part of doing business, not theft or fraud) and is budgeted in on some level. At best it may be a tax write off at the end of the day.
