The New York Times occasionally runs articles that compare 3 homes that are being offered for similar prices. Note that the prices are not directly comparable, since the articles were written over a period of time. What You Get for … $5 Million According to the article linked to below, a manager at a Whole Foods Market store fired an employee for allegedly having physical contact with someone the employee believed to be a shoplifter. Grocery worker fired for stopping shoplifter Assuming that the facts in the article are accurate, was the manager’s decision was appropriate? Is the company’s policy appropriate? Is a policy that explicitly prohibits employees from physically stopping shoplifters appropriate? Update: My followup In my original post about Whole Foods firing an employee for stopping a suspected shoplifter, I asked if a policy that explicitly prohibits employees from physically stopping shoplifters is appropriate. In my opinion, such a policy is both legally and ethically appropriate. |
