The policy claims to prohibit employees from interfering with robberies for their own safety. The employees are ordered to scan a QR code after the theft and essentially brush it under the rug, according to Lululemon's employee handbook.

McDonald told the network that the two employees were not fired because they called the police, but rather for going against the company's "zero-tolerance" policy which is in place "because we put the safety of our team, of our guest, front and center."

At the end of the day, "it's only merchandise," McDonald said.
