Choices, san. Use your head. Either simply do not run after someone to try and stop them OR find a new job without the bullshit 'company policy' that does nothing but put the employee at risk. Quote from san: "as far as making bad choices sometimes life doesn’t open the right doors or windows for us" "and you forget that the fuzzy jobs that make big dough are not easy to find": There's a classic example of a person crying the blues about their poor, pathetic life. Your life/job could be better but instead of focusing on making your life better, you piss and moan about how bad your life is. People like you think the world owes them something. Give me a fucking break. And while we're at passing laws... why don't we just make EVERYTHING pre-paid? There are alot of instances where employees could be mis-treated, beaten or robbed. What about taxi drivers? How about pizza delivery? Why don't we prepay for our 7-11 hotdogs? Where does it end, san? Shall we just make the whole world prepay for everything?

“How about mandating some basic training for attendants” um i was taught at 7=11 that if someone drives off without paying for gas to run after them and try to stop them if unsucessful get thier plate number and phone the rcmp. result: police will not attend unless it was over 50$ in theft. bosses result: fired me for having 3 drive offs in the last 2 years.

People are stupid. Wait, that's what you're trying to get across right? If not, this is much too deep. Seriously though. People need to take responsibility for things. Just like the case of the kids that beat the teenager with an axe at a house party and get a conditional sentence, we need to have significantly stricter laws so people learn from example. I agree.
