If it were done cleanly with no ramifications, no employees hurt or killed, no customers menaced, perp captured or dead, they would say next to nothing. Their liability insurance wouldn't be invoked. Managements are not much concerned when things so smoothly. It's the chance for something dreadful to happen, very costly since no matter who does what, the company gets sued and has deep pockets, they are unhappy.C-dub wrote:I wonder what Autozone would be saying if it were a customer that had stopped the robbery with their gun? Who thinks the customer would have been chastised for wreckless behavior or even banned from the store?
In some places, it is not inconceivable that the customers shoots and kills the perp, the store gets sued by the perp's heirs for wrongful death for failing to insure the perp's safety. It seems absurd, but not inconceivable in these strange and perilous times.
