I can never understand why someone wud risk his/her life and chase after a robber that steals from a buz. The 100 bones that they steal isn't worth the risk IMO. If I'm working behind the counter and a thief speeds off and doesn't pay I wouldn't even budge. I'd jus call the cops and let them handel it. Gas stations have camera's everywhere and when the cops arrive they'll run the plates and pick the individual up in a few hrs. No one gets hurt.
There's wayyy too much people out there TRYIN to be hero's and risking they're lives for their job for nothing.... So what, you catch up to the crook then..
A) You get your ass beat half to death for what, your company?lol
B) The crook pulls a gun/knife on you and sends you to the nearest trauma hospital, all for what, money?lol
Unless I am a cop with a weapon I'm not chasing after any crook that tries to rob my counter. Fcuk it, its jus not worth the $10.00 an hr

The way I see it, the gas stations are stealing from us, what comes around goes around.
The governments want us all driving Smart and Volt cars within 10 years, higher gas prices are a given, not that they have to be this high, the gov don't care, they want prices to keep going up.
NOT saying stealing gas is the correct thing to be doing ! Just saying I could careless how much gas people are stealing, they are making billions each quarter. I don't worry about billionaires. Yeah the station owner isn't rich, well let him get the oil companies to pay him back. Lets pass those type of laws, not pay before you pump

If you have to pre pay and use cash how do you know how much to pay for a fill?
Do you go back in and get the change? Presuming you over pay.

At some gas stations the pump stops at whatever amount you paid. You cant go over
I know. That was my point
Thats interesting. So they're putting profit over lives then
Employees with little power (example: recent immigrants) can get fired for raising a stink so they get exploited. Sid Ryan has reports that gas stations charge the employees for 1/2 the amount of $ stolen thru the gas/dash scheme despite Shell saying it against their policy.
Who do you think can represent the employees of those affected by the unfair practices that put their lives at risk?
Sheesh.

Not the case at all. It gets prosecuted as it is theft. No question. Especially if a repeat. The problem is when people use stolen plates it is harder to find someone. But if someone is a serial thief the police will go after him.

Gas stations are franchises, most in north america are owned by astonishingly clever businessmen from a certain country where human life is not worth much.
I would find and put on trial the government official that signed the immigration papers for both the killer and its victim. I would pull him out of his cushy retirement and put him on trial for crimes against humanity. He let a whole family in so the father can work at a gas station?

Like I said, its a messed up business, everybody is "stealing" from each other
What happen to when THEY used to pump your gas - oh yeah, now you are to do the dirty work and go inside and buy their junk food for sale

Don't be so sure, he still isn't lock up. I'm sure they are looking for him harder now then if he just stole some gas.
Lets see, his tank should be running dry in the next few days, will he do another Gas and Dash, lol
I can never wrapp my head around why someone making 11 bucks an hour would put himself in danger for something like this. Not too mention they almost never get any kind of recognition for it other than "good job".
All the guy had to do was, calmly walk out, try to get the guys' plate #, go back inside and call the police.
What Shell and other gas companies need to do is train their staff on how to handle these situations.
When I was oreiatating my staff at the the store I managed, I used to tell them all the time. " NEVER GET CONFRONTATIONAL. WE DON'T PAY YOU NEARLY ENOUGH FOR THAT."
If the manager doesn't like your attitude towards not putting yourself in harms way over the 11 bucks an hour he pays you to work from 12am-9am, tell him or her to fuck themselfs and your going to work at the gas station across the street.

To those on here that think the employees aren't docked the cost of the stolen gasoline think again. It may not happen at all stations but it does happen. It happened to the guy that was the victim of this incident. Apparently he was always docked the cost of the gas when someone stole it. It may be illegal here in Ontario for employers to do this but they are. I think the gas station owner and Shell Canada should both be charged in this as well.
Where did you get this info from if you don't mind me asking?
If this is true, they surely will be in a lot of trouble.
even though it is illegal, this guy could have very well been under the impression by his employer that he would have been docked.
