A Colorado Supermarket Employee Fired After He Recorded 3 Men Stealing $500 Worth Of Laundry Detergent From The Store On Father’s Day

A Colorado supermarket employee was fired after he recorded three men stealing approximately $500 worth of laundry detergent from the store on Father’s Day.

Santino Burrola, the King Soopers employee, was alerted to a theft in progress at the store and the first thing he thought to do was pull out his phone and record it.

“So I posted it on TikTok, hoping that somebody would recognize them,” said Burrola about the video that was seen 1.5 million times, including by rapper Snoop Dogg.

When Burrola returned to the store for his next shift, he learned he had been suspended, and a week later was fired.

“Me and the union rep sat down with them and they recommended termination,” Burrola said. “I would never let any criminal conduct slide, especially when it’s happening right in front of me.”

The news has since gone viral on social media, garnering lots of reactions from folks online.

“Maybe pay a security guard and stop expecting workers to do the most for places that will do exactly this ‘fire you ‘ without a second thought,” someone commented.
