Dollar general manager attempts run over man after he’s caught stealing from the store a second time

[Macallik86]

fukka DG, but I really think the convo is often incorrectly framed as "Why aren't you letting people steal from a multi-billion dollar company that you work for". It's the feeling of disrespect of someone not following the rules (paying for merchandise) in front of someone who is doing things the 'right' way even if they are sorely underpaid.

I'm someone who thinks corporations aren't people, and should be taxed at a very high level, but this recurring narrative that you should be able to steal from successful businesses w/o repercussions seems very-shortsighted and will lead to a worse society if left unchecked.

Working at dollar general fresh out of high school wasn't the worst job ever

But they tried to make me feel good for making 10 cents over minimum wage

[DatBoiHawk]

Bruh if you ever see me working in a store(not likely) take whatever the fukk you want….fukk them folks!

Hope they lock her dumb ass up. Why throw your life away for a company that only cares about how much they can extract from you?

im tired of seeing this stupid talking point about how nationwide stores make money. that doesnt mean you can steal from them

The point is that there's more outrage over retail theft than over these companies stealing billions in wages from workers. And providing an unsafe work environment on top of that. Dollar General is one of the worst in that regard.

South Carolina Dollar General workers strike over wage theft

Store employees report enduring hazardous conditions such as mold growth, spilled chemicals, blocked fire exits, and sweltering heat during the summer

People have been conditioned to focus on retail theft while ignoring one of the key factors that causes it in the first place. It's crazy how some people have become so well trained that they're even celebrating/calling for shoplifters to be killed.

dollar general should be held accountable, and forced to pay higher wages. that doesnt mean anyone can walk into their stores and steal shyt

So how does this work? They don’t seem to be on company grounds, she basically tried to kill the dude or at-least he can say that and she chased him down….

Who is making this argument? I simply don't care. And nothing justifies running somebody down like that.

Dg has lost items quotas for managers.

She maybe only had one more strike left

 

[The Pledge]

Lock her dumb ass up.

Grand opening, grand closing

 

[Lord_nikon]

Since dude is black that she ran over,, she should receive around 70k in donations and go fund me

 

[King Poetic]

Glad I got out of retail over 15 years ago

Me and the other employees use to jump nikkas and Mexicans all the time for stealing and we didn’t have to worry about shyt being uploaded on social media
