I don’t get this “claim losses from insurance” line. I didn’t think they even do that. The just understand there is going to be a level of shrink. What insurer would insure theft at a store?
Comment on Sainsbury's staff beat up shoplifter after dragging him into the back room

While I don’t support shoplifting, it’s literally not inconveniencing anyone involved here. Worst-case, security calls the police, and they claim losses from insurance.
That man will probably press charges, and get some money he probably needs, assuming he’s okay. Those involved will almost certainly lose their jobs, and will probably end up in the position that this other person was in - unemployable.
I really don’t get what their end goal was here, other than to beat the shit out of someone.

It’s definitely a thing in the UK. Much like how a person will have insurance to cover theft, businesses have theft insurance, alongside insurance to cover damages.

It’s wild that this isn’t common knowledge …and that you commented with such confidence about it

Everyone who steals is Robin Hood and anyone who isn’t ok with that is Guy of Gisbourne and therefore a complete shit.

You don’t have a point you just engaging and I’m 14 and this is deep level commentary.
Old situations are nuanced you can’t just sign on with blanket philosophies, it doesn’t work

You feel that way about all the people who’ve stolen crypto as well?

Theft of other things may also be theft, shocker.
