The activist, who goes by Charity Sade on Twitter, approached the store manager after the incident.
“May I ask why you called the police on those two men?” she asked.
“CVS policy states that if there are shoplifters that exit the store with merchandise, we should get the police involved,” the manager replied.
Sade responded with some bizarre nonsense. First, she pointed out, “It’s not your merchandise, it’s the store’s,” as if that distinction made it more acceptable to steal.
Her main argument concerned the idea that by calling the police, the manager had put the shoplifters’ lives in danger.
“You decided to call the police on two black people that stole — that allegedly took something from the store — because you’re willing to uphold the policy and they could have lost their lives,” Sade charged.
“We can agree to disagree on this, because I don’t work for you, and I need to follow my company’s policies,” the CVS store manager politely replied.
“So you’re willing to risk someone’s life for what, $30,000 a year?!” the activist charged.
“There was no risk in my opinion. Thank you, you have a great night,” the manager replied.
“What is your name?” Sade asked in an accusatory tone. “My name is, ‘store manager,'” the manager responded.
don't want to risk getting shot, don't steal
