"I once witnessed a customer who put some items in his coat pocket without paying for them. With the support of my supervisor, I approached the customer and talked to him off to the side of the front entrance. When I explained that I noticed that he put a couple of items in his pocket, he started screaming and making a scene. I kept calm and continued to speak to the customer in a controlled tone while we waited for the police to show up."
