I was 5. I stole two candy bars from the TG&Y. My mom found them and she dragged me back there, had me take the candy in. I had to talk to the manager, give it back, apologize, and my mom had me sweep their floor (and it was a big store) to "pay for" the time the candy was out of the store. While I was doing that, they had an officer come out and talk to me about stealing. This was 1962, and I guarantee you I never, ever took another thing. And I did the same with my kids. I had that same talk about "if it doesn't involve, doctors, hospitals, ambulances, police or police cars, lawyers, or more money than I have in the bank, you MIGHT be able to do it. But fool around, get arrested, I will leave you there until you find a way to work off the bail money." Years later, I heard the kids telling my grandkids basically that same discussion. If we had a justice system that valued the victims more than those who do the crimes, maybe things would be a lot better. And if parents actually, uh, parented their kids, things would be better.
So true, my daughter was 5 or 6 and went to the neighborhood store with her "friend" I got a call from the owner of the store telling me that my daughter stole a candy bar, I marched her right back to the store (the owner explained to me he watched the whole thing. Her friend told her to grab 2 candy bars which she did, and then told my daughter to wait outside. She paid for a soda and walked out to join my daughter. When they got to my home, I got the call. So I made my daughter apologize for stealing this candy bar and then I told her she had a choice, she could get a spanking and be grounded for a week OR she could never play with this "friend" again. She chose to not play with her friend and she never again stole ANYTHING! In fact, she wanted to become a lawyer, then met her first boyfriend and changed her mind.
I am from a newer generation born in 1998... I was punished as a kid. Anytime I did wrong I would either get grounded, things taken away for a short period of time(Seemed like an eternity to me as a 5-10 year old) And at worst I would get spanked. Did I turn out alright? Yes, not once have I stolen or did anything way out of line. Not enough parents in this world willing to actually parent. Im not saying beat your kid sensless. But letting them get away with things is getting out of control.
@@AmitKumar-yl6bz he realized he couldnt stand Janice, as much as he adoired his daughter, and flipped. they arranged a hit and he went into the program
the purpose of the store policy is to prevent employees from getting injured/killed trying to stop shoplifting. though I haven't seen data to support that....
Feel like the reason stores out in that “policy” is so that when it comes to them claiming the insurance they can get more money out of it by lieing about what was stolen
Likely more liable or such. Someone suing the company for being hurt, even if it was because they were stealing, costs more (and more pain in the butt) than just about anything they could steal. Now the company can say, "I told you not to do that!" and just work losses into their budget.
Trust me I seen a shoplifter stab an employee for trying to stop him. I was working for Walmart and there were 2 guys stealing one had a shopping cart and the other filled it. Then they attempted to run out of the store with it. My coworker said “ They stealing you gotta stop them” I said no way I don’t get paid to do that and I’m not gonna get hurt “ he decided to run and grab the cart so now they fighting for the cart full of goods. The LP guy isn’t around and it’s crazy. The other guy goes in his pocket and runs up to the guys. Then stand my coworker. My coworker lets go and they run off with the cart. Only to get caught down the street by police. The cart had an air conditioner, a knife set, clothes, cleaning supplies,food and one of those sofa beds in a box. So my coworker is hospitalized and you know what Walmart does? Ladies and gentlemen they fire him while he’s in hospital. He was lucky to be alive and now has a job at Home Depot. But still that’s fucked up.
When in actual reality it’s against store policy because the owner figured out that it is all gonna be a tax write off anyhow so it’s the same pay whether stolen or bought
see when my older brother was caught stealing, my parents dragged him back to the store, made him give it back, made him apologize, and he never stole again. the girl he was caught with was never punished. he was mad about that till he met her again in high school and found there was so much wrong with her... he thanked my parents for punishing him.
As a former store worker I’ll tell you this , we don’t chase after people that steal because we aren’t paid enough and aren’t covered if we are hurt. That’s why people buy security but even then all they can do is call the cops and say “yeah this dude does this”
some bigger chains specifically have like asset protection teams but i assume it’s big guys like costco, walmart, target and stuff lol and yea if ur just a normal employee like a cashier or whatever just enjoy judgementally watching them be really bad at being sneaky or subtle lmao once i incredulously watched some underaged kid “sneak” a case of beer out of the store in a backpack,,, literally everyone could hear it clanking lmao like at that point it’s just sad like damn congrats ur now the laughing joke of the gossiping cashiers, cuz we are very bored and will immediately stare stories of stupid things we see 😂

When my oldest daughter was 5 she stole a pack of gum from Dollar Tree, back when everything was actually $1. I caught her with it and she fessed up to taking it right away. So we calmly got back into the car and went right back to the store. She had to apologize to the clerk for stealing, pay for the gum (which she didn't have money for so I reminded her that this is coming out of the family grocery budget), and give the clerk the opened pack of gum back. Everyone who saw this in the store was very greatful for how I handled it. I told the clerk to either throw it away or give it to a kid who came in next. My daughter is 13 now and still remembers having to do that. She has never stollen anything since and told me it was a good lesson learned.
I was in a "scared straight" program as a kid. They took us to jail to talk to the inmates. I'll never forget the lady who told me about how she ran her husband over with her car for cheating on her.

At the time your 17 yr old self probably was pissed off your parents didn't come pick you up immediately, however now I can see your adult self appreciates the valued lesson you had to learn.❤
It's almost like illustrating to kids that there can be very real, very scary consequences helps them become better adults. How did we drift so far from this as a society? 😂
At 17 maybe, but the question the episode simple ignores outright is who had custodial responsibility for this child? He's clearly to young to be unaccompanied. Is he truant or are the parents not provided sufficient supervision?
I remember reading Starship Troopers (the original Novel) And honestly, the authors take on punishment is very apt Paraphrasing but, basically Ricos father is talking about the past, how teens and youths would go around being hooligans, and the system would barely give them a slap on the wrist, but the moment those kids then turned 18, they could have been imprisoned or put to death, and comments how insane it is that kids and teens who commit crimes are punished a little more severely to really drive home the idea of consequences before they reach an age where they are more liable for dire consequences (A part of his philosophy that the misbehaviors of an individual are always at fault of the authority that raises them. This being a tangent off of where a private got court maritaled for striking his drill instructor, but the instructor demanded he be demoted for letting the private hit him and being in a position where the private was liable)
I live in England and about 40yrs ago as I returned home after walking my dog. Two men in suits who were court bailiffs said they had a warrant for non payment of council tax!. I went with them and they said that I was the first person in a suit they had picked up.when they realised I was a chill person we had a few laughs. They then picked up a cocky dirty mouthed young man, I said to keep quiet as he was in the back seat with me. He was informed, I was going to court . Being a night club doorman in the evenings and a freelance public relations/ bad news person. I wasn’t shy about persuading people to change their behaviour or. The court decided that I had paid up to leaving the property. I don’t think the young man had control of his water works 😂

We should get the right to stop people from sealing without getting fired for it. Everyone I know who’s stopped a costumer from doing something wrong was fired. My bf was fired for kicking a guy out of the dispensary for grabbing my bf on the collar and not having ID. He was fired within 30 mins
If someone is shoplifting, as an employee you shouldn't engage with them, instead call your manager and he will get the security footage to the police and police would track the suspect down and arrest them. That's the process.
Sorry hun, not gonna confront a guy twice my size for taking something i can't afford that the company will use as a taxes write-off and is already insured against theft.
If they're aren't strict on the policy, it would only lead to tolerance and allow more and more people to try stopping robbers. The more people interfere, the more people get hurt. I get that it goes against people morals, but it's ALWAYS better to just let them go. I work at a gas station and we see people steal like every other week. No one has gone unpunished yet. They've all been caught on video and have been given a no-tresspass. Even under the slight chance they never get caught, it's not worth risking your safety over $100 the company with remake in the next 5 minutes.
I did Loss Prevention for Target for 4 years and we stopped shoplifter. We detain them till PD showed up. We caught someone stealing about 3 to 4 thousands dollars worth of merchandise.
I used to work for a major fast food chain. Standard policy was if you get robbed, be quiet and give them what they want. I'm glad we were never robbed because I would have been fired the next day.
Was having a conversation with one of our AP (asset protection / basically store security) while working at the service desk at the retail store I currently work at. My coworker asks the AP "hey, what are we supposed to do if we're ever robbed?" I replied "Give them the money" (Admittedly, I was being sort of glib, but I also knew the answer) My coworker gave me such a deer-in-the-headlights look and goes: "SERRIOUSLY!??" Our AP just nodded and agreed with me and basically said "your life is much more important than that drawer (of money)"

When my Dad managed for Dicks their policy was that you can't physically touch them to stop them from shoplifting. Some guy tried stealing from the store, and my Dad just got between him and the door. The guy goes "you cant touch me!". My Dad, a 6'0 tall old school bodybuilder, replied with "yeah, but if you touch me you're going through the floor". The shoplifter ended up getting arrested lol.
@@tsipherI remember back when I was a teen working retail our LP mngr (a little on chubby side) 😁was chasing a shoplifter outside the store. He ended up falling down on the pavement breaking his arm and the shoplifter getting away...😁 On a separate time he was able to arrest his nephew who worked at our store for stealing a pack of cigarettes...😂
The first time I stole something was a pack of gum I forgot in my pocket. I felt really bad because the owners were nice people and would give my dog treats if I ever went in there on a walk. These giant corporations don't feel human, and it's easy to not feel guilty if you steal from them.
It’s sadly a true thing, I’m a cashier, and we can’t stop anyone from shoplifting, they say it’s for “our protection” but in reality it’s so they can avoid liability when/if it ever happens and it has happened many times
of course its to avoid liability. i’m so confused why so many people in these comment WANT to be a liability for their job. do you really want to risk your life for ur job? like i just don’t get the logic here i dont understand why you people feel so inclined to being a hero for product that you do not own. what makes you think for a second that its worth it? did someone tell you that you’d be getting extra money for it? i mean its just the dumbest thing ever man you need to really love yourself more. your life is more important than every atom that is inside of that store. ACT LIKE IT.
America is weird. In my country, shoplifters will be dogpiled by not only the employees, but fellow customers as well. These comment section just proved my point.
Well, in America, intervening could cost you your life. Not sure where you're from but most Americans who work retail understand that we don't get paid to be security. I was a supervisor at cvs and always made it a point to tell my cashiers if you feel unsafe, let them take whatever they want. I will take responsibility. Please don't be a hero.
I know it's just a show/movie. But im curious, is there really anything like that in the USA where shop policy tells the staff to not do anything against shoplifters? And if so, whats the reasoning behind that? Never heard of such thing from where I'm from (Europe).
Yes, its due to the high probability of retaliation against the shop lifters or robbers. They don't want employees to get injured or killed trying to stop them. Especially connivence stores where anybody can have a motive.
I think it’s similar in Germany. In supermarkets they also just silently call the cops and wait. Everything is on camera so they rather track them down later than have the employees get in a fight over a bit of change
Yes, in some places due to the safety of staff & other customers. It’s happening a lot with places like CVS, LONGS & other drug stores. There’s video on CZcams showing it happening & nothing being done. Thieves come with suitcases & trash bags, fill them & walk out.

That’s some good parenting right there, unfortunately a lot of parents don’t let their kids face the consequences of their actions
Very good parenting.
It's almost like illustrating to kids that there can be very real, very scary consequences helps them become better adults.
How did we drift so far from this as a society? 😂
At 17 maybe, but the question the episode simple ignores outright is who had custodial responsibility for this child? He's clearly to young to be unaccompanied. Is he truant or are the parents not provided sufficient supervision?
I remember reading Starship Troopers (the original Novel)
And honestly, the authors take on punishment is very apt
Paraphrasing but, basically Ricos father is talking about the past, how teens and youths would go around being hooligans, and the system would barely give them a slap on the wrist, but the moment those kids then turned 18, they could have been imprisoned or put to death, and comments how insane it is that kids and teens who commit crimes are punished a little more severely to really drive home the idea of consequences before they reach an age where they are more liable for dire consequences
(A part of his philosophy that the misbehaviors of an individual are always at fault of the authority that raises them. This being a tangent off of where a private got court maritaled for striking his drill instructor, but the instructor demanded he be demoted for letting the private hit him and being in a position where the private was liable)
Bobby baccala never died!
I love Antony! 😂 Him and Erin make such a good team . . . especially when it comes to getting under Danny's skin.

I live in England and about 40yrs ago as I returned home after walking my dog. Two men in suits who were court bailiffs said they had a warrant for non payment of council tax!. I went with them and they said that I was the first person in a suit they had picked up.when they realised I was a chill person we had a few laughs. They then picked up a cocky dirty mouthed young man, I said to keep quiet as he was in the back seat with me. He was informed, I was going to court .
Being a night club doorman in the evenings and a freelance public relations/ bad news person. I wasn’t shy about persuading people to change their behaviour or. The court decided that I had paid up to leaving the property. I don’t think the young man had control of his water works 😂
Still want to know why it took 40 years to walk your dog
I sorry I don't understand what happened to you 😔. I not ignorant just a bit confused 🤔

Love when shows write absolutely realistic children characters
Good to see bobby recovered from the train shop incident
The video production is great
We should get the right to stop people from sealing without getting fired for it. Everyone I know who’s stopped a costumer from doing something wrong was fired. My bf was fired for kicking a guy out of the dispensary for grabbing my bf on the collar and not having ID. He was fired within 30 mins
So u want the right to be shot by a thief ain’t that something 🤣America truly is the land of the free
If someone is shoplifting, as an employee you shouldn't engage with them, instead call your manager and he will get the security footage to the police and police would track the suspect down and arrest them. That's the process.
@@Ying-yang6969🤣
Sorry hun, not gonna confront a guy twice my size for taking something i can't afford that the company will use as a taxes write-off and is already insured against theft.
If they're aren't strict on the policy, it would only lead to tolerance and allow more and more people to try stopping robbers. The more people interfere, the more people get hurt.
I get that it goes against people morals, but it's ALWAYS better to just let them go. I work at a gas station and we see people steal like every other week. No one has gone unpunished yet. They've all been caught on video and have been given a no-tresspass.
Even under the slight chance they never get caught, it's not worth risking your safety over $100 the company with remake in the next 5 minutes.
It’s funnier when you know the older dude is just an employee for the D.A. And not an actual criminal
You're tough until you meet a real tough guy! 😂😂😂
Detective Anthony Abetemarco scared him shitless 😂 😂
Lol😂

This is a lesson the kid will hopefully never forget
The kid looks like the kid from the movie Up
He went from smartass to scared real quick.
The “seriously” is exactly how I felt at my first retail job 😂
The older guy was in sopranos he was Tony’s sisters husband. Pretty cool to still see him acting
Bro is the “ We’re Costco guys, ofc we go shopping while eating our chicken bake
I did Loss Prevention for Target for 4 years and we stopped shoplifter. We detain them till PD showed up. We caught someone stealing about 3 to 4 thousands dollars worth of merchandise.
Stay safe pls
You know Quasimodo predicted all this
Underappreciated joke
I had a hunch he did.
is nobody gunna talk about how this kid looks like big justice
I like having the DA in there 'undercover' to straighten out the kid
When she pulled out her badge, I swear to god I turned into CatNap from how much I smiled
I used to work for a major fast food chain. Standard policy was if you get robbed, be quiet and give them what they want. I'm glad we were never robbed because I would have been fired the next day.
Was having a conversation with one of our AP (asset protection / basically store security) while working at the service desk at the retail store I currently work at.
My coworker asks the AP "hey, what are we supposed to do if we're ever robbed?"
I replied "Give them the money"
(Admittedly, I was being sort of glib, but I also knew the answer)
My coworker gave me such a deer-in-the-headlights look and goes: "SERRIOUSLY!??"
Our AP just nodded and agreed with me and basically said "your life is much more important than that drawer (of money)"

Does this shopkeeper look like she feels in danger from that shoplifting kid? Her "safety" is a non-issue here.
Good to see he is making friends.
This is addictively good content.
When my Dad managed for Dicks their policy was that you can't physically touch them to stop them from shoplifting. Some guy tried stealing from the store, and my Dad just got between him and the door. The guy goes "you cant touch me!". My Dad, a 6'0 tall old school bodybuilder, replied with "yeah, but if you touch me you're going through the floor". The shoplifter ended up getting arrested lol.
My store is the same way. We can't stop shoplifters for our own safety. It's really stupid.
u willing to die for a business that can easily replace u?
Being safe is stupid?
Ngl i wouldn't try to stop someone shoplifting from a big box store, they can afford to loose a few items here and there.
If they don't care you shouldn't either
@@Yes-ls7fv no wonder USA is in decline.

Girl at my job was fired for following a shoplifter.
thats an easy one, safety reasons
@@DjZerotheoneandonly how many store employees were injured as a result of pursuing a shoplifter before?
@@tsipherI remember back when I was a teen working retail our LP mngr (a little on chubby side) 😁was chasing a shoplifter outside the store. He ended up falling down on the pavement breaking his arm and the shoplifter getting away...😁 On a separate time he was able to arrest his nephew who worked at our store for stealing a pack of cigarettes...😂
The first time I stole something was a pack of gum I forgot in my pocket. I felt really bad because the owners were nice people and would give my dog treats if I ever went in there on a walk. These giant corporations don't feel human, and it's easy to not feel guilty if you steal from them.
Damn Bobby, scare him straight lol
This is actually the state of justice in alot of places these days, smug pos with absolutely no fear of getting caught
Yup
It’s sadly a true thing, I’m a cashier, and we can’t stop anyone from shoplifting, they say it’s for “our protection” but in reality it’s so they can avoid liability when/if it ever happens and it has happened many times
Why is that sad. You really want to put your safety on the line for a few shop items
Americans are so stupid they are willing to be hurt protecting a big corporation.
of course its to avoid liability. i’m so confused why so many people in these comment WANT to be a liability for their job. do you really want to risk your life for ur job? like i just don’t get the logic here i dont understand why you people feel so inclined to being a hero for product that you do not own. what makes you think for a second that its worth it? did someone tell you that you’d be getting extra money for it? i mean its just the dumbest thing ever man you need to really love yourself more. your life is more important than every atom that is inside of that store. ACT LIKE IT.
little does he know, his dad was the guy on that bus that got killed
Love the look of the kid when he realizes what he did is actually a big deal and there actually will be actual consequences for his actions.
I like Blue Bloods! This is a very good lesson for young man who does not understand the umbrella that he seems to be standing under.
Blue bloods....I really love this show
W old man for scaring the heck out of that kid so the kid doesn't act up again. 😂😂
Guys his voice sounds like the I CANT LEAVE COSCO WITHOUT MY CHIKEN BAKE kid
How much you wanna bet that guy actually didn't kill anyone and only lied to get that kid to act straight.
Wow no way is that really what happened???
America is weird. In my country, shoplifters will be dogpiled by not only the employees, but fellow customers as well. These comment section just proved my point.
What country?
@@kynoble Indonesia.
Agreed.
@@BlueV205Your Country has way more problems other than petty thieft
Well, in America, intervening could cost you your life. Not sure where you're from but most Americans who work retail understand that we don't get paid to be security. I was a supervisor at cvs and always made it a point to tell my cashiers if you feel unsafe, let them take whatever they want. I will take responsibility. Please don't be a hero.
Everyone’s tough til they realize the person they’re talking to isn’t bluffing
Bobby came back to life.
I know it's just a show/movie. But im curious, is there really anything like that in the USA where shop policy tells the staff to not do anything against shoplifters? And if so, whats the reasoning behind that?
Never heard of such thing from where I'm from (Europe).
Yes, its due to the high probability of retaliation against the shop lifters or robbers. They don't want employees to get injured or killed trying to stop them. Especially connivence stores where anybody can have a motive.
I think it’s similar in Germany. In supermarkets they also just silently call the cops and wait. Everything is on camera so they rather track them down later than have the employees get in a fight over a bit of change
Also,these stores have insurance policy that pays for all the losses caused by shoplifting.
Yes it’s true. !!! U can’t touch them or put hands or even confront them cuz it can turn physical
Yes, in some places due to the safety of staff & other customers. It’s happening a lot with places like CVS, LONGS & other drug stores. There’s video on CZcams showing it happening & nothing being done. Thieves come with suitcases & trash bags, fill them & walk out.
Yeah cause every shoplifter I see looks just like that kid. Very accurate.
Except taller.
