A Colorado employee who bravely and conscientiously helped catch a group of shoplifters at his grocery store last week found that helping do the right thing has negative consequences in an age where woke corporations reign.

On June 18, Santino Burrola, an employee at a King Soopers store in Centennial, Colorado — a southern suburb of Denver — was alerted that three men were trying to steal what turned out to be nearly $500 worth of laundry detergent, in another example of the rampant retail theft engulfing the country.

“Sure enough, when I looked there was a guy already half-headed out with a cart full of laundry detergent scent boosters what have you,” Burrola said, according to KCNC-TV in Denver.

Adding that, “My first instinct was to record,” Burrola said she pulled out his cell phone and followed the trio of thieves making off with their stolen merchandise.

Burrola followed the men outside and recorded the thieves as they shoveled the loot into a black Chevy Trax in the parking lot.

“Really bro? You gotta resort to this? The economy’s not that bad,” Burrola can be heard saying in the video.

Burrola also noted that after the shoplifters got into their car, he ran up behind the vehicle and in one smooth move tore off the tin foil that was covering the license plate and filmed that, too.

After the car was driven off, Burrola called the police and reported the theft.
