38. From a lawyers perspective that isn't the point.
Maybe she was 100% in the clear however if you take 1000 examples of employees confronting a shoplifter a beancounter is going to figure that Statistically one of them will be in the wrong. That one wrong case will result in a lawsuit and that lawsuit might cost Walmart millions.
Thus it really isn't worth it for Walmart to allow employees to even get involved in any way, shape, or form. It is all about protecting Walmart (or any store) from a potential lawsuit.
Still seems like Walmart could have given her some remedial training, and maybe have manager remind employees storewide of the policy. I mean zero tolerance policies tend to be counter productive.
