Now, ordinarily I am against store 'heroes' who engage criminals.
However, every case is not the same.
While this woman may not have been right, I give her credit for hitting this scumbag in the head and holding him until cops came. The robber claimed he robbed the store before.
North Carolina store clerk said she was fired after she attacked a burglar with a baseball bat on Tuesday, a move her employer said violated company policy.
If you dash out into traffic you know there is a chance you will get hit by a car. If you rob a store you know there is a chance you could get shot or beaten. meh
If I were her, I'd sue the livin' chit out of the convenience store as well as the robber. Settle for $400K!
It's not that simple. Most retailers have a very strict "do not engage" policy that applies to all employees who are not hired specifically as security. I'm sure this place was no exception, which makes it very unlikely that such a suit would be successful.

Yep, Im a marketing rep for one of the largest chains in the midwest. Our managers are not allowed to call police over shoplifters anymore, all they can do is ask them to leave and ban them from the store, even with gas drive offs, cant really do much about it except to take down the plate number if they can and refuse them service if they ever come back (but that has never happened,), its not like the employees check plates from customer to customer during the day.
Our policy was changed after a suspected shoplifter called the complaint hotline to complain about being held until police arrived. the top brass are more concerned with complaints than theft, plus the theft study they had done, showed that shoplifting and even fuel drive offs were not a significant factor when it came to profits and loss. Its not really a big deal to most managers,the stuff they are stealing is marked up so high, it doesnt hurt that much when a small percentage is stolen.
