Here’s how Facebook users reacted:
“That's NOT a smart thing on the part of the shop assistant. Honey you likely don't get paid enough to lock yourself into a shop (seemingly alone) with a thief. Nothing is worth your safety. He is on camera, let him go,” posted a Facebook user. “How dangerous, what if he got violent? She put herself in a terrible situation and got lucky,” joined another. “This is the greatest!! What an epic fail!!” joked third. “How embarrassing,” added a third. “A brave woman at the till...! Good on her...!” wrote a fifth.
