Employees stole more than customers anyway, but bad press is much harder to justify.

Interesting. I've never heard of it, especially with teenagers.
When I worked in retail (Blockbuster), we had a decent return policy that was set by corporate. We had very little leeway, though, when it came to trying to accomodate each and every customer. I would hope that no one thought my refusal to bend the rules constituted discrimination.
