Elderly Lowes employee sacked for thwarting theft at Georgia store

A 68-year-old Lowes employee in Georgia was fired after attempting to stop thieves from stealing around $2,000 worth of merchandise from the store. Donna Hansbrough violated the company's policy on stopping theft when she grabbed one of the suspects' shopping carts and was subsequently punched in the face. The suspects have been identified, and one has been taken into custody. Hansbrough expressed her love for her job and didn't expect to be fired. Critics argue that companies are overly concerned about litigation and fail to support employees who try to protect their businesses.
