It's easy for me to say I wouldn't care if people drove off without paying if I was the employee. There is zero chance I would have ever tried to chase down a car in a same or similar situation, but that employee felt the need to try and stop him. I am going to guess that other employees have also tried to stop gasoline thefts in the past and this law means they don't have to. Yes there are still ways to steal gas, but this eliminates the easiest one and makes the lowly paid gas station attendant safer and more secure.
Should these employees, in your words, keep their mouths shutWhy shouldn't they be afforded better work conditions? ? I disagree with your opinion, but does that mean either of us have to keep quiet because you say so? That's ignorant. What happens if the car and/or licence plate were stolen? Maybe the cops who don't have to search for the gasoline thieves will be able to turn their attention to fighting other types of crime. |
Is stopping gas theft part of a gas jockey's job description? Wouldn't it be easier to tell the night shift not to try and stop a gas theft? Kinda like telling bank tellers not to try stopping a bank heist?
