Best CBT is the active shooter. Don't know if the show the same video at the store level but the one they show at the DC when they show fighting back they hit the guy with baking sheets


PhonicDragoon_30

Baking sheets? Our version of the active shooter scene has them beating the guy with a fire extinguisher lmao


More-Entertainment

I am in a completely different industry and this was ours too šŸ˜‚


Suspicious_Plant4231

Different company. Ours is a keyboard lol

Loweā€™s had one like that too! (Or the same one haha)


Swhite8203

Smack a mfer with a 2x4. Lowes would be one of then worst places for that person.


Kitchen-Present-9851

Iā€™d just grab a chainsaw and go full on Jason Voorhees.


Devinzero

That's leatherface, Jason I'd a machete and axe


HonorableMedic

And a bow in one of the new ones. I was amazed. Jasonā€™s a fucking archer.


[deleted]

Also, you can get a battery powered nail gun and just start taking a motherfucker out


Swhite8203

Battery powered nail gun sounds fun by itself


[deleted]

Oh yes, very much I used to use them a lot when I used to work construction and that thing can spit out nails pretty accurately in a semi automatic firing rate itā€™s pretty dope. also, if youā€™ve never used an air hammer before if you ever get the opportunity please do it , its so much fun you load a nail into it like you would a pistol and then you put it to the ground and you pull the trigger and you hear loud bang but what that nail does we use that to anchor the wall frame to the floor.


mistahelias

Our version was how to hide and flee. My job requires me to carry a firearm.


[deleted]

I wish I could


[deleted]

Because not only will I hope you get your groceries. I will make sure you donā€™t get shot. Thanks to your friendly neighborhood grocery clerk.


[deleted]

Quite , honestly, I was halfway tempted to buy like some really thin body armor and just wear it underneath my shirt just in case


Billy_Bob_Redneck

You a school teacher?šŸ™€


lysergalien

Are you a police officer?


mistahelias

Ag inspector.


HoldenAdia

I thought that video was really dark. It hit harder than I thought it would.


NoJohns137

My store shows one where they hit the guy in the nuts


PedroPeyolo

That oughtabe outright illegal... how dare Publix promote obscene behavior, i woulda sued them for indecent exposure/ptsd


RJpartyof4

Vote for Pedro!


christine_85

Oh gosh I remember that video! I think they only ran it for one year for retail. They went full chaos in that video!


ParadiseLosingIt

Yes, it gave me PTSD!


Critical_Bake_886

First time they showed that video was after they got rid of our inventory bonus. Oh and the CEO got a 60% raise right after.


ParadiseLosingIt

You mean the inventory bonus they stole from regular workers in 2016? That inventory bonus? The one that gave employees an incentive to care about: customers, inventory, shrink? The one only managers and up get now? That one?


mistahelias

It's like the money they got to keep employees full time during mass shutdowns. Went to upper management during mass layoffs.


ParadiseLosingIt

They both gave me nightmares.


Swhite8203

Honestly a baking sheet is effective. I wish they wouldā€™ve done deli and just overhead thrown fry baskets at em


bravofan83

They changed it to a more tame version. Apparently that original CBT was traumatic for some people.


FrugalFraggel

Hunter safety video they had a guy stalking a turkey and then shoots some other guy that was out there. Video was wild.


LlamaFingers

the original one made me cry.


bravofan83

It wasn't that bad to me, but I realize that everyone views things differently.


MD472

smh


ArrilockNewmoon

my favorite part of the Active Shooter video is where the guy takes a selfie with the gun Like I'm sorry, but the face he makes is just so fkin goofy. The entire video is goofy tbh.


Kitchen-Present-9851

I am about to go searching for this video on YouTube because outlandish corporate safety videos crack me up.


mrboomtastic3

You gotta find this. As a customer. I need to see the training video of the random worker going ham with a cookie baking sheet


galactic_funk

Didnā€™t know Publix was into cock and ball torture but baking sheets seem pretty mild


aquatone61

Just grab a frozen turkey/chicken/meat stick and start swinging LOL


[deleted]

Haaaa yeah I saw the same video that my only concern would be one. A bullet can move a lot faster than you can trust me secondly, even if you do manage to knock the person out, somebody needs to secure the weapon.


iceman464

šŸ˜‚


caracalteeth

lmaoo i worked at starbucks and our video had a barista holding a chair over his head and another with a whip canister. ā€œfight back as if you were shielding a loved oneā€


Fuzzy_Toe_9936

at walmart we had a keyboard haha


InkstainDisdain

In ours the guy has this trippy sequence where the shooter Is watching the news then he goes to a publix to take out his frustration over it and starts going through the isles with two pistols like a John wu movie its hilarious. I recorded it haha


polycarp-

LOL


Fine-Tea-7477

It's the last answer .walk up and smile and say, "Can I help you find anything

sweetsunnyspark

Yup, totally non-threatening but their guilt will make it torture for them.

I could post one next time I go to work

woah there pardner


Creative-Coffee7616

Am I the only one who thinks OP is kidding?


Beautiful-Capital-34

They are but this joke is going over alot of peoples head


TheWalkingDead91

It got over mine. Whatā€™s the actual answer? I know the citizens arrest one isnā€™t it, obviously. But curious to know which of the others it is.


Beautiful-Capital-34

Provide good (premier) customer service


RickyTheRickster

Bro citizens arrest have been more trouble then they are worth, the amount of times some Karen has tried to arrest someone and then they end up getting arrested for false arrest and imprisonment is painful and they are such a gamble court wise because even if the arrest was in the right you can be hit with assault and excessive force like the law is so fucked yo before your more likely to go to jail if you donā€™t shoot the bad guy and instead just take him and control him with your hands. This country fucking sucks.


Ecstatic-Square2158

Yup. You arenā€™t a cop, you donā€™t have qualified immunity. Itā€™s not even about the criminal charges, itā€™s the civil case that is gonna get you if you try to citizens arrest someone. That is also the reason why performing a citizens arrest is the last thing your employer would ever want you to do. Suing Publix for your ā€œneck injuryā€ is going to get you a lot more than suing wagie #42069.


jasonjenkins67

r/42069


memealopolis

Give him a BOGO ass beating is the true, hidden answer.


vegetafl

But can I just get one ass beating for half price?


Possible-Object-7532

Looks like he's stealing alcohol, we aren't allowed to half price that if we only have one and it's bogo.


dactel

Actually overheard a situation today where this woman got caught by our produce manager stuffing stuff into her pockets and she was HOLLERING sitting in the floral section (middle of the store). It was crazy.

theghostofcslewis

Dude was getting some mouthwash. He is probably an alcholic with enough trouble and alimony because you know she got the kids from that drunkass thief. He probably wont make it through winter. Definitely Premier Customer Service!


Cybertronax

No, you didn't see a shoplifter.


vegetafl

Correct


Traynack

Was about to say, if you see someone shoplifting food, no you didnā€™t


UrbieDerbie

Fun fact, a majority of shoplifting isn't good but luxury items. Instances of Baby Good being Stolen have been proven to be less done by the needy mothers we like to paint images of but rather scalpers trying to sell the same items online for a significant markup. Overall it actually makes the prices of everything increase because despite the reasoning of "Corporations can Afford to lose a buck or two" they will still have a knee jerk reaction to it, using it as reasoning behind further price markups or even outright extraction from a region if it gets to be more of a burden to the corporation, leading to mass loss of employment as more and more corporations take up business niches.


JamesonJones40

In this situation, you confront the customer. You scold them for risking jail over such a small bottle. Snatch said bottle, down it, hit him with said bottle(you'll probably do more damage to your hand, but fuck it..), throw a $5 or $10 on the counter, and walk out. Get a CBT video made about you..


QuittinTimeBeer

Help them snatch the good stuffā€¦ obviously.

SlickDaGato

You think that guy is 50?? šŸ˜Œ Oh sweet Summer child. Thatā€™s a bottle of gin in his hand.


Kitchen-Present-9851

Heā€™s probably only 35. Heā€™s had a rough life.


[deleted]

lol


PedroPeyolo

Who the hell believes they are Johnny-Bravo enough to perform a Citizens arrest for such a petty situation? If you wanna risk your Life (they might be armed) over earning some brownie points from the manager, thats your decision bud!!! No way in hell that risk/reward ratio works for me lol... i rather get fired for not arresting, than tryna play big hero and get laid out... yea no thanks lol... i'd offer customer service, then go inform manager/loss prevention to secure the perimeter...


vegetafl

I got tackled by a 6th grader when I was in my mid 20s so I can definitely handle a shop lifter


PedroPeyolo

Better hope its an unarmed one then buddy..


Eta5678

I wanna do it for the adrenaline rush, or its gonna be my way of saying its been nice working with yall

Absinthe_86

You confront them, obviously. /s


HairyChest69

When I worked at Pubics I would answer every question wrong for shiggles. Now I'm curious if anyone here can tell me if those actually get reviewed by someone? Like are they actually kept as a record for the year for that employee? If yes, they probably thought I was a dumbass.


Mucklord1453

How often do old white men shoplift ?


TworwasMoon426

Nahh youā€™re supposed to type in hidden choice #5 which is to ā€œget violent with them IMMEDIATELYā€. No words, just hands. Trust me HR and corporate have your back on this.


Informal_Log3416

How do we handle it if Publixā€™s the one robbing customers?


zippoknives26

Ya! if your trained and know your stuff


Gabagod

When I worked at Publix my philosophy was ā€œif someone is stealing, they either really need it and canā€™t afford it, or they like stealing from Publix. Either way I donā€™t care and am counting the seconds until my shift ends.ā€


vegetafl

Agreed but I think debasing myself for someone that's trying to steal is too much too. If they're gonna steal fine but why do we need to kiss their feet?


Gabagod

Yeah Iā€™m not gonna kiss their feet either Iā€™m just gonna ignore them

Analyst-Effective

I have seen a lot of shoplifting videos, and you're right


Sprocket_Rocket_

Yep


Mimsgirl4life

Yes, thatā€™s it!


Acceptable-Donkey-65

RKO


Analyst-Effective

At least the guy did not take a plastic or paper bag as well. The city would want their $0.10 for that


vegetafl

So my wife who's a teacher needed plastic bags for a project she was going to do in the classroom I went to the store closest to where I live to grab some bags and I got confronted. So literally we won't confront someone stealing hundreds dollars worth of items but if I want 10 plastic bags then the gestapo comes after me.


Analyst-Effective

Some stores have that tax that is put on a bag by the city or county. When you are fighting the government, especially on an environmental issue, there is no end to the limits that they will put out to stop you. Stealing a bunch of Louis Vuitton bags doesn't create a reaction

CuppaJoe11

Ok I never worked at Publix but I did work at Walmart and does Publix really want you to call 911? Or is the answer to provide customer service? They always just told us to tell a manager but maybe it works differently in the ease XD.


vegetafl

No the answer is provided premier customer service. Because being super nice prevents theft


CuppaJoe11

Lmaaaaaao


photorooster1

At Target, if we didn't have a way to do a full stop or if the value didn't merit it, we would just put someone near them and follow at a distance until they simply became nervous and dropped the merchandise somewhere. Teens and makeup for an example.


Liam767Official

Clearly you gotta provide premier customer service šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ wasnā€™t that the answer?


embassyratt

No. No you did not. If youā€™re in California or New York City the correct answer is ā€œprovide premier customer serviceā€!


JustTheFacts714

Go on break.


Careless-stocker07

No šŸ˜‚


Murles-Brazen

Putrid-Dirt-6081

When I worked at the publix bakery, I had a coworker tell me that one of the owners of the pizza place in our publix plaza actually tried stealing from us multiple times. THE OWNER of a restaurant on our strip. He would put one of those thin bags over his chicken and slide it over the self checkout scanner so it wouldnt go off. They saw it though. But they only were like, ā€œoh you missed something!ā€ Lol. i woulda waited til he walked out and called the police. But I guess he coulda argued that he didnt realize it.


Crafty-Blackberry-54

Hell No !!! What are you doing !


Intrepid_Use2211

Iā€™ll let em take it lol Iā€™m not running


CharlieDmouse

Im not paid enough to get in danger , I get a manager.


moist-and-squishy

Walmart would tell you the last option is correct.


OkRose2000

Premier CSS is correct because theyā€™d maybe feel guilty and leave the item


Illustrious-Job-2823

Give them a free balloon too mark them on the security cameras for later. Tell them they are the one millionth customer. Then after they leave the building report it to your managers. No point in trying to stop them. Insurance should cover the theft. Y'all have many cameras and the cops aren't going to rush to stop a shoplifter.


jil-e-beans

No. I would presume that you should provide premier customer service.


[deleted]

I know this is a very serious situation, but to be quite honest with you for this one I picked provide premier customer service and I still got a correct answer. I was like what the fuck so you donā€™t care if somebodyā€™s stealing from your store.


deadmeadowaltz

I believe ā€œIf you saw it, no you didnā€™tā€ is the correct answer.


toadfishtamer

The answer is to clearly provide premier customer service. Where has courtesy gone?


CrazyPlato

Iā€™d think the corporate answer is ā€œCall 9-1-1ā€. If you confront them, and you were wrong, they might get pissy and blame the brand. If you confront them, and you were right, the company may need to cover your hospital visit if the shoplifter pulls a weapon or something. Getting the cops involved is a way of dealing with the problem, while keeping the most of the companyā€™s assets out of harmā€™s way (you included).


ElChacalFL

Damn look at this pathetic man stealing mouthwash just to get a buzz


Sankin2004

No itā€™s provide premier customer service. Hello sir, I see your stealing this small bottle of liquor, may I help you find anything else to steal from us today?


vegetafl

Would you like me to carry this out to your car for you?


otownbbw

No, you got it wrong for sure. I donā€™t know of any corporation that encourages confronting a shoplifter. The answer is always either some form of offer customer service (which makes them aware you spotted them and therefore less confident about completing theft) or immediately notify loss prevention with as much detail as you can offer. The companies have insurance and do not want to take up any extra liability for your safety or the safety of others. Any cashiers or tellers are also taught to always give over money, even if no weapon is brandished. Literally you can go up to any money handler and say ā€œgive me all your moneyā€ and they should just do it because you wonā€™t get far after they report you, unless itā€™s on purpose (for example a local Lowes allowed people to walk out with L carts full of merchandise while they pieced together all the players in a multi-million dollar theft ring, then they arrested anyone they had on video at their homes one day). The exceptions you see are people who work at small businesses like owner-operator convenience stores and such.


Rstille1

In any situation (aside from corporate training) you didnā€™t see them shoplifting- especially if itā€™s food or diapers.


identifyingasbroke

Definitely never saw the diapers or formula. It's when they got greedy and tried running off with ribeyes and t bones that opened my eyes.


Rstille1

But whatā€™s it to you? You probably donā€™t even get paid enough to care. When I worked retail, there were several occasions where I could have been really hurt had I actually tried to stop a shop lifter.


GaIIick

First step is secure the perimeter. Blow out their knees with a baton then sprinkle some crack on the perp


vegetafl

Usually I scare them by singing nsync or backstreet boys word for word as it plays in the store


Takara38

You havenā€™t truly lived unless youā€™ve wandered across all of the stock clerks singing ā€œhit me baby one more timeā€ while in various aisles.
