Recently a friend of mine who works with me at Best Buy as fired. We were told by management and LP to follow a guy trying to steal some CDs, and like we were told every now and then would ask if he needed some help. My friend went up to him to ask if he needed assistance and when he got about 10 feet from the guy he was charged. The guy trying to seal the stuff dropped the CDs, ran at my friend, and threw a punch at him. My friend dodged it, but then as a reaction laid the guy out. He gave the guy two quick punches to the face and dropped him. Then LP got between them, and the would be thief ended up just leaving afterwards.
My friend was then fired for defending himself. The managers all told him he should have just stood there and took the hits until LP would have pulled him away. This sounds ridiculous to me. So you are just supposed to allow someone to hit you if you are on the clock? He has called the HR department about the situation, but not much has come from it.
What would you do in that same situation? Would you or should you be required to just take a beating?
