But to sort of relate this to the HD thing, if the cashier had given the guy
in front of me too much change (and I happened to notice), and he didn't
return it, I would *absolutely* intervene, physically if necessary.
Because this does not come out of HDs bottom line, but out of the cashier
person's *check*--in addition to casting some aspirsions upon them as
employees.
This is true with almost all retail institutions: if the till is short,
you, the employee, pay. Period.

I don't get this. In harold's case, there's a good chance
that the amount of the theft will come out of the cashier's
wages as well.

Eventually.

You can say that giving the customer a 20 instead of a 10 in change
is not the same thing as the customer swiping stuff.

But at this point we're arguing over the price, not what the guy's
doing, to paraphrase an old joke.
