A Vermont grocery store clerk claims that he was fired after he tried to stop a purse thief, according to a WCAX report. Amir Shedyak had worked at the Hannaford supermarket in Essex for four years before the incident in August. “And he was like - an old lady’s purse just got stolen,” Shedyak told WCAX news. He returned the purse to its owner and returned to work. “It is not uncommon at all for employers to discourage employees from laying hands on customers,” Pietro Lynn, a local attorney, told WCAX.
