Then there's always fears that said employee is more likely to steal, especially for employers that have employed blacks in the past that have done that

A few months ago, I witnessed something that is eating me up that I didn't say something, but I was in a hurry, and it happened so fast that it didn't strike me until I was in my car, and then it was really too late. I was at a "Dollar store", and the young man at the cashier was a young Black man (teenager). In front of me was an elderly old lady who kept talking and talking (and the kid was humoring her, and talking friendly back to her), and her bill came to $23 and some change. She was fumbling with her money, and wound up giving the kid $45 instead of $25, as she didn't notice there were two $20's stuck together, but I did out of the corner of my eye, and I know the kid did. He gave her change, putting the $25 in the cash register, but I saw him stick the $20 in his pocket. He rang me up quick, and only had a couple dollars of stuff, and I was walking out and was in my car. Then all of a sudden it hit me what had just happened, but I can kick myself for not saying something. I probably wouldn't have said anything to management, as I really didn't want the kid to lose his job, but I really should have said something when it was happening like "What about that extra $20 you just snuck under the counter from her", but the lady was so sweet, and I didn't want to make her feel bad, as she was so sweet, and it probably would have ruined her day too that the kid intentionally did this to her, the same kid that was friendly to her face. I know, it probably was worse that she was out $20, but I can't explain it, it would have been like shooting her.
In retrospect, I wish I said something, but as it was happening, it all happened so fast, I can't explain it. But it started burning me up that that kid had the audacity to do that.
