Title: Academy tests the court of public opinion again
Post by: Brad Johnson on January 20, 2022, 12:06:21 PM

Long-time manager is punched by irate customer. Manager is fired because, policy.

I guess the severe public backlash from this 2018 story wasn't enough to convince them stupidity is a poor business model.

"I spend money. Shoplifters don't."

The article mentions bad publicity.  The only bad publicity is they fired the manager.  They could institute a policy of having security guards who beat up shoplifters and I wouldn't consider that bad publicity.  Cowardly corporate management.
