The fact that Harold went out of his way to identify the cashier tips his
hand.
The fact that he did so (likely) in part cuz she didn't meet his assthetic
stds tips his hand further.

If you are ignerint of the HD "Master Plan", and love and worry about HD
that much, then fine, defend HD, and participate in their security effort.
I really wouldn't argue w/ that--I'd roll my eyes, but that's about it.

But don't be a rat.

He coulda called HD, pointed out the incident and its nature, w/o ratting
out the cashier.

But then Harold wouldna gotten his rocks off that way.

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.

Not in most states since that's illegal. I believe that banks may be
one exception. But if she's fired for one oversight, it wasn't in her
best interest to have been working for those idiots anyway.

Kudos, Harold, for attempting to help the company correct a problem.
If more people spoke out when they saw blatant abuse of a system, we
wouldn't be paying the higher prices we do for products + abuse. As
to your tormentors, now we know who the Rakshasa are.
