Have you ever experienced entering a bottle shop's car park and coming across something unexpected?

Well, one Aussie motorist was in for quite a surprise when he pulled into the car park—and caught something on his dashcam!

A video showing an alleged thief running off with two bottles became ‘popular’ on social media, stunning Aussies everywhere.

In the clip, a man was sprinting from the Dan Murphy’s store with two bottles of Jim Beam in his hands.

According to reports, no one from inside the bottle shop was seen chasing after him, clearly leaving people who watched the clip questioning why the situation was not dealt with.

The motorist who filmed the incident said that the security guard they saw was ‘standing by the door looking dismayed’ after the alleged thief escaped.

‘As someone who worked at Dan Murphy's for years, don't bother running, we don't care enough to stop you,’ commented one Aussie.

Sadly, this isn't an isolated incident either, retail workers are often faced with such danger in their everyday working lives.

In October, a woman was caught on camera punching an IGA worker in the head in Mandurah.

The altercation began when the worker attempted to check the woman's bag while leaving the supermarket. Local authorities promptly investigated the matter.

Recent data from the Australian Retailers Association (ARA) has shown that an alarming 92 per cent of retailers say that they have either personally experienced or had a team member experience verbal or physical abuse while at work.

‘Being yelled at, spat at, punched or groped is not tolerated in any other workplace, and must not be accepted in retail,’ stressed ARA Chief Executive Paul Zahra.

Video source: Reddit​

Furthermore, Zahra called on other states to take NSW, SA and NT’s approach and make laws even tougher to properly protect retail employees.

On the other hand, a representative from Dan Murphy mentioned that the incident has been reported to the police.

They said: ‘The incident has been referred to NSW Police for investigation. Our priority, as always, is the safety and well-being of both our customers and our team members.’

The incident occurred just as a new safety council is set to be established to address the growing issue of customer abuse and violence against retail employees.

This initiative comes after an agreement among key stakeholders, including the Australian Retailers Association (ARA), the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association (SDA), major retailers, and shopping centres during a recent roundtable discussion.

Key Takeaways

• An Australian motorist's dashcam captured footage of an alleged thief sprinting away from a Dan Murphy liquor store in Sydney with two bottles of Jim Beam.

• A spokesperson for Dan Murphy’s confirmed the incident has been reported to the police and emphasised the priority is the safety and wellbeing of customers and team members.

It looks as though the thief certainly trains with his sprinting ability in mind.

My son was a manager at McDonald's when a man armed with a knife demanded money , my son refused and offered him an Apple Pie. The so called robber ended up leaving the store after smashing the door. This made my son furious and he chased after the guy and tackled him to the ground . The police arrived minutes later .

I told him he shouldn't have gave chased ,he replied if it happens again I will do it again. Thank goodness that was 16 years ago and he is now a builder.

McDonald's staff are told to give what the criminal wants and never try to detain them.

I know staff at Dan Murray's are told the same thing but what I have to ask was the security dude hired to look pretty !!!

It has always been an unwritten law in retail, if someone wants money out of the til, or when you were taking the money to be banked, give it to them. It's only money, not your life. I was 16 when working for a small business and that was told to me on my very first day of work. I am now 67 so that part of it hasn't changed. Luckily I didn't come across anything like that while working there. Now days people are more violent, have no regards for anybody, most likely on drugs or alcohol. So the scenario is very different for the poor retail workers.

My Husband was in a two-bed ward in hospital, with a difficult patient with dementia beside him. The dementia patient had a security guard beside him, sitting with his head down and mobile phone in hand.
The patient got out of bed, grabbed my husband's walking stick and proceeded to hit him around the head. I was on the opposite side and leant across his body to protect his head as he couldn't move. I had to scream at the security guard for help, he hadn't even moved as he was too busy on his phone.
As far as I'm concerned, most security guards are a waste of space.

You should be ashamed of your comments. Everyone is suffering because of rising prices at the supermarkets but your comments are disgusting, to say the least. Allowing someone to get away with this will only send the price of goods upwards, not down, because honest customers have to bear the brunt of rising prices.

I wonder what your next comment will be when YOU are paying a higher price for anything you buy, especially something you really need. Probably abuse of the supplier for raising prices. Yes, prices seem to be increasing beyond what people can afford and large companies are making huge profits, but what would you do if you were in business? Would you sell for your cost price, or would you increase costs to make a profit? THINK ABOUT THAT for a moment and pull your head in. I too don’t agree with rising prices and, yes, there should be an investigation into the huge profits being made but until then, and any change to the big company’s profits, we must eat and live - there is already something being done with upcoming investigations into those two (unnamed) supermarkets; we have to wait for that outcome and hope prices can become more realistic in future.

It is an act that, hopefully, can be seen on the dashcam footage and results in the arrest of the man. You are disgusting in your comments, so get a life and pull your head in.

Omg !! Now my question is if he needed a security guard why was he even in the same room as your hubby ?
I hope the hospital apologised and I hope that either yourself or hubby wasn't injured. Gosh that would gave been a shock

They apologized, but I had to jump up and down to have my husband moved .It was about space, but I couldn't go and leave him in that situation. Problem was, the next poor patient would not be aware, the security guard should have been removed.

Yes, it could have been very serious as he was hitting him around the head. I don't blame the other patient, he was ill, but it's not a good mix in a hospital ward when the other patients can't move. I don't have my husband anymore he passed away 16months ago, but to those of you with loved ones, you have to protect them, even in hospital.
