fairly. The store can't officially have a "catch the fucker" policy because of the multitude of lawsuits that result. First, the thief can sue, and will probably win, if you hurt him while you're catching him. Second, if you get hurt by the thief, you can sue for them putting you in a dangerous situation that was not in your job description, and YOU'LL probably win.
When I worked retail, my store got around it by officially saying don't do anything, but they'd buy you lunch if you tackled a thief. Besides, it was fun to catch 'em, so everyone did it anyway.
