Have You heard the story about the 2 Guys working in a Mall who,seeing a Security Guard chasing a shoplifting suspect,joined in and caught the Thief only to be told they were being fired due to their store's "Non-Involvement" Policy? The Guys worked for Sprint..look up the story and let me know what you think of this!

I think that was the most ridiculous policy, how could they arrest people who reacted in good faith

Wow. I've just read the news and I think what the company did was unfair. True, their employees did break their policy of non-involvement. But they did it for a good cause. What they did actually increased the popularity of their store. I agree with the article that they should be commended. But I think they should just be warned that it was against store policy. But firing them is going overboard. Firing them gives a bad impression on their store, it shows that they fire people for doing what is right.

Wouldn't this sort of thing be regarded as a citizen's arrest?
