You are just as disgusting as this poor excuse of a human who was his manager. A normal, decent human being would have told this kid after the first time that he is not allowed to steal. An even better human being would have bought the kid his lunch. Only an evil person waits in waiting for a month for a hungry kid to steal enough food so the charges can be higher.

Also, he didn’t steal $1000 from anyone, he stole some of the cheapest food they have. If you can’t see the difference there is zero hope for you. May yoh be hungry enough one day to confer stealing a chicken nugget and a fruit cup.

Different poster than the one you are quoting here.
Ok, you're being absurd.

You think the manager should be responsible for buying his employee lunch every day? Should he do that for EVERY employee? That would literally exceed his salary.

"Hungry kid?" You think this kid is chronically hungry? Or just gets hungry around lunch time the way every human does?

Have you never had a working class job? Yes, lots of bosses buy their crews lunch every single day. And of course you're glossing over the part where the evil manager is clocking each and every chicken tender and 99 cent fruit cup for weeks. That's not even a "lunch," it's a hungry boy eating a couple of dollars worth of food during a long shift. This is beyond cruel.

YES! I definitely have! In fact, I am also the pp from earlier in this thread that worked in a grocery store! Do you have any idea how many employees a grocery store has? A lot of employees are behind the scenes--the customers don't even see them. You really think the manager should be buying every one of them lunch on each shift? Even at just a few dollars per employee, it would add up to hundreds of dollars a day.

God forbid you buy a meal for a hungry person!!!!! RIGHT.

No one is making the manager responsible. I said a better human being would feed a hungry kid. Clearly, that went right over your head. Just don't worry about it.

They sure as hell shouldn't entrap their hungry employees by watching them "steal" for weeks. What is wrong with you?

well the good news is, I bet you could walk around and find plenty of "hungry kids" to feed every single day. Are you doing that? If not, you are clearly not a "better human being."

Very sad.

Ironic how grocery stores overcharge from the posted price and are allowed to just refund the overcharge if the customer catches the error. (Happens frequently.) But if a kid swipes a pack of gum, it is off to jail with no opportunity to pay for the item. In short,grocery store chains can engage in systematic theft from their customers, but even an accidental failure to pay for a trivial item by a customer is viewed as a crime.

You keep missing the point. No one would have faulted the manager if he hadn't gone out looking for kids to feed. But he clearly and deliberately sat in waiting while THIS kid stole a measly chicken nugget and a fruit cup for days, reveling in his righteousness in entrapping THIS hungry kid.

PS not that it's any of your business, but I do feed someone hungry most days. I have the means and I think it's the right thing to do. I DO go out looking for someone to feed.

Wow. Meijer corporate procedure for management to behave like this and entrap working poor employees:

I used to work for Meijer as a manager. One of the metrics that the loss prevention team is measured on for their reviews is Team Member apprehensions. It’s also standard for them to let people repeat offending till they get to a $ amount to be able to press charges.

Can someone please update here once something bad happens to the manager after all this attention? I need closure.

I fault corporate, the greedy Republican Meijer family, all the store management involved, and the cop. Cops should refuse to respond to such bullshit calls. If anything, the kid should just be driven home by the cop. Arresting him and booking him for chicken tenders and fruit cups? Insane. Making it more tear-jerking, the boy remained polite and cordial the entire time. ;(

My DH is in LE. Every big box store you know and shop at does this. Every single one.

Are you insane? The police don’t just get to subjectively pick and choose which calls they want to deem “bullshit”. Do you really want to go there? If so, which scenario in which you were victimized would you be willing to sacrifice justice?

I want a reporter to track him down so his family can create a go fund me. I think the cop says his name is “James”? And the store is in Seven Hills, Ohio. The arrest was March 7, 2024 but this body cam footage just became public recently.

Police and sheriffs have discretion to enforce or not enforce anything they want. You’ve never gotten a warning for speeding, expired plates, not having your insurance paperwork on you? Never had a party busted and the cops just make underage kids dump the booze out but don’t arrest and book anyone for underage intoxication and possession? You’re one of those bootlickers who thinks the police are just doing their jobs. No. This cop and his sergeant are paid $100,000+ each and this is a bullshit waste of time and taxpayer dollars.
