And the race is on
Do store employees still chase after shoplifters? I wouldn't, you're liable to get yourself shot nowadays.
Back in the day working at Hastings was like a 70's cop show. We'd chase shoplifters down the drag shouting stop thief, and once in awhile people on the street would help take a suspect down. I remember loving the chase, here I was hauling arse down a busy sidewalk and getting paid for it. Bumping violently into people as you rushed down the street...ahh yesss. It was always most cop show like in the fall when you might be wearing a jacket or sport coat, cause the 70's cop shows always seemed to be running in jackets.
It was fun because there was really nothing to lose, I mean if I don't catch him he gets to keep the Biz Markee tape, and who cares anyway. It was the thrill of the hunt.
Some suspects were just too fast, and got away. One kid was so quick it wasn't even funny, but I knew the lay of the land, so I cut through the Castilian and came right up on him only to see him pull away again.

10 years at Sears Collin Creek. We used the $30k system to check out girls. Sometimes we had a great fight with a guy and an 'arrest'. It was so much fun! Chased one across 75 and he was clipped by a Caddie. Lost his wallet (with ID) and car keys. We did catch an alarming number of hot girls stealing stupid stuff. They never had a chance....
That cracks me up! I do remember laughing my ass off as I was running a few times just because it was so absurd.
