On the afternoon of September 3rd, around 17, an old man went shopping in a large supermarket near his home in Foshan, Guangdong. When I bought something myself and paid at the cashier's desk, the old man took advantage of the cashier's inattention and put a pack of ribs in his environmental protection bag, but the cashier discovered her trick and stopped the old man when he walked out of the supermarket.
It is reported that this is the third time that the old man has stolen and is a recidivist. The person in charge of the supermarket said that we forgave him for the first time and forgave him for the second time, but stealing for the third time was really crazy, so we called the families of the elderly and asked them to pay compensation according to the price. Who knows, the family members of the old man did not show shame when they arrived, but said that they would not pay compensation, so that the supermarket would just drive him out when it saw the old man in the future. The person in charge of the supermarket said that he was very helpless, so he chose to call the police. After the police arrived, he only gave the old man a verbal lesson. The supermarket had no choice but to come up with a sign that said "thief, stole three times" and let the old man sit in front of the supermarket to achieve the effect of prohibition.
For a time, this news caused a heated discussion among netizens. Netizens have said that it is inappropriate for supermarkets to let the elderly display publicly, which not only damages the self-esteem of the elderly, but also damages the image of the supermarket. Is this legal? In the face of such doubts, the person in charge of the supermarket said that this is also a helpless move. They have no better way to steal, so they have to. And this practice has also been recognized by the elderly and their families. The old man didn't sit at the door for a long time. He only sat for ten minutes and left, so this is not illegal.
