Really not enough information to go on. Does the manager have a tendency to specifically target people on racial grounds inappropriately? What is their % of being right when attempting to prevent shoplifting? People always get incredibly bent out of shape when an innocent person is accused however shoplifting is a massive problem. People have DIED because of shoplifting incidents. It really seems that Staples is playing the PR game here as opposed to giving the employee a fair shake.

50 fucking billion dollars. And to be honest I'd rather spend twice as much preventing it because people who shoplift are filthy parasites that bring society down. Police almost never expend resources dealing with shoplifters unless loss prevention apprehends the person for them. In this case the police officer felt there was enough probable cause to ask the woman to show her pregnancy.
