Would you report coworker theft?

[BossChief]

This kinda reminds me of a time when I was like 16 or 17 working for Montgomery wards.

There was a coworker that I saw stealing a couple times and he would always use the same computer to ring up his sales and was kind of a jerk about it being his computer. One day, I took about 10 of those sticky little security tags upside down by his computer on the floor sticky side up.

When he was leaving the store at closing, the alarm went off and security was always by the door at closing for this exact kind of thing.

He was asked to take his wallet and keys out of his pockets and was asked if he had purchased anything and forgot to disable the security tags.

As he was pulling his wallet out, a bunch of jewelry fell out of his pocket that he had stolen that day and he had the wards card numbers of at least 5 customers written down, too.

I told the girl that headed up loss prevention that I had put those security tags by his computer and they gave me a bonus check (even though I didn't technically tell them he stole anything, they still gave me the bonus) for 500 iirc the next day.

I think the whole "snitches get stitches" thing stops being applicable post high school

IMO, calling out a co-worker who is stealing from your employer isn't really "snitching" anyway.

If you're both getting together and smoking pot, then one of you gets pulled over and spills his guts, you're a snitch.

But one shouldn't be expected to follow the "code" and sit idly by why somebody is robbing a company that employs both of you legitimately.

That's indeed true.

After HS, it's "rats get bats".

I am sorry, but that is the reason why your area is so bad. Same with here in KC. People allow bad things and crime to go on.

I grew up in Independence, it has the same motto. It is the reason why it has one of the worst murder rates per zip code. Elsewhere in the city? People do not tolerate that shit.
