One of my co-workers was on the clock, when he saw his friends come into the restaurant. He took them outside (whilst he was meant to be working) and started doing burnouts in the car park. The smoke from the tires started causing some of us to choke, and when the shift manager found out that the crew person was outside doing burnouts, he shrugged and walked away completely ignoring the situation. I don't think its fair on everyone who was doing their work properly to let this go unnoticed considering we all get paid the same, and this particular co-worker of mine has lately become arrogant and rude often throwing food at others and harassing others (yet it goes unnoticed).
The burnouts were recorded on the store security cameras - should I report it anonymously to the store manager who will actually do something about it, or will this be a bad idea? What should I do?

If you feel that strongly about it, report it. Make an anonymous call, or leave a note in the manager's office. Be sure to include the time and date so he/she can easily find the footage.

The first question should be, "Why is this person's behavior being ignored?" Is he related to someone higher up, or have some way of being covered? If you turn him in anonymously, what will happen when someone finds out it was you? If you decide to turn him in, then be prepared to be let go within a month or so, for some obscure reason. You have to decide as you are morally and ethically correct, but from a practical standpoint, you may have to live with it.

If this activity is going on at work and the manager is not aware of it, then that manager is not doing his or her job.
Ask yourself, is this a place where I want to continue to work. If it is, get all of the employees together and speak to the manager regarding this employee. Your problem will soon be over.

Yes. I would call Eye Witness News immediately. They love stories like this.
Also, tell your friend to pour bleach over the tires. Makes tons of smoke!

Has he done anything bad to you?
Does dobbing him in and making him loose his license for a few month justify making you cough?
Will dobbing him in make your work place better?
Think about my questions before you consider taking any action ;)

no! just talk to him about it and maybe tell him that you heard some one else talking about reporting him
