Fired California Big Lots manager says she was just trying to get shopping cart back from shoplifter

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) – You wouldn’t think that a retail store manager would have to make a decision between recovering store property and keeping her job but that’s exactly what a Big Lots manager in California says happened to her.

On April 5, at a Big Lots store outside Bakersfield, a customer had apparently loaded his shopping cart with 15 big orange jugs of Tide laundry detergent and headed straight out the door.

Two Big Lots managers followed him out – but not to try and detain him or even confront him. They just wanted to get their shopping cart back after he was finished with it.

  1. In the current Orwellian world Good is bad, bad is good, right is wrong and wrong is right. In addition the heads of these big companies are gutless assholes more afraid of nigertive publicity than catching the bad guys..

  2. Hey Kenny;

    When Big Lots gets finally tired of it and join other companies pulling out of certain areas because the "shrinkage" ain't worth the hassle.

  3. Why whip out the cameras? They covered the faces of the thieves. You've documented the grounds for your termination. You're ill prepared for a physical confrontation, which if occured, with video of that you be excoriated as racist . Sweet they recieved a warm round of applause , though...

    Same thing happened to my son when he was a manager at Eastern Mountain Sports in Philadelphia. People would take high value, small size items out of the store, then walk right back in and demand a credit. He refused to issue them and got fired.

  6. They lost their jobs a little sooner than the rest of the people working there.
    How long was the store going to be around if people are allowed to take whatever they want AND the shopping cart to carry it?
    The slow (and planned) decent of society into anarchy... one full shopping cart at a time.

    Sounds to me as if this poor lady was in a "damned if you do-damned if you don't" situation. The store probably would have fired her either way!

  8. Now you know why the Subway employees in the previous story didn't want to help the lady cornered by the bum. In California, as in all communist tyrannies, doing the right thing is punished and criminals are rewarded, so why bother?
