Boycott time.
I won't do business with them anymore.
That is screwed.
No woman should EVER work a retail store into the late hours where the customers can easily get into the cashiers area.
WORKING ALONE 7-11 PM FOR OVER 2 YEARS???
I HOPE SHE SUES 7-11.
THEY AREN’T VERY WORRIED ABOUT THEIR EMPLOYEES
If I could remember the last time I went to a 7-11 I’d think about it.
ME EITHER
7-Eleven trying to insulate the company from a lawsuit. I blame our litigious society.
"Thank you for coming, I'll see you in Hell!"
7-11 had always had a no weapons policy. I worked there during high school and early college. We were never to get into a confrontation with a shoplifter or even a robber. Give them what they want and get them out.
I support her right to protect herself but she did violate multiple policies that led to her having to use her gun.
Nothing in that store was mine and nothing was worth my life.
The made her keep working there? Yeah yeah. I know.
About twenty years ago, two women working that night shift at a convenience in my town were murdered by a psycho with a hammer.
If 7-Eleven doesn’t want employees defending themselves, they should hire armed security. Their choice.
You can contact 7-Eleven customer service by phone at 1-800-255-0711.
Customer Relations representatives are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Nothing unthinkable about it. That’s been the rule at those kinds of jobs forever. Do not fight a robber, do not bring a fire arm, do not shoot at a robber. Break those rules (or frankly any rules) you get fired.This was the rule at all the often robbed jobs I got in the 80s and 90s. Probably was the rule long before then. And hasn’t changed since. These companies don’t want shootouts, they don’t want employees missing the bad guy and shooting customers, they don’t want to risk the liability. She made a choice, probably the right choice, but rules is rules and 7-11 cannot risk leniency on this one.
Your life was worth your life. Same for her. The perp escalated. Some perps will kill even if all demands are met.
What led to her having to use her gun was her refusal to accept a counterfeit bill. Is it 7-11's policy to accept bogus cash?
She most certainly made the right choice. 7-11 can pound sand. Most convenience stores are this way. We have a Murphy Express fuel station/convenience store near us that chose to close doors at 8:00 PM rather than have a lone worker on duty when they were short employees. Store policy appears to be two people on duty at all times.
7eleven is famous for having only one clerk on duty at a time. If they followed QuikTrip’s plan, and adequately staffed their stores, they might not be known as the white trash of convenience stores. They obviously prize the almighty dollar over the safety of their employees.
Almost every company, on advice from their lawyers, has a policy like this.
I used to work at a gas station and, after one very scary encounter, I would carry. I did so with the full knowledge that if I ever had to use my pistol that I would undoubtedly be let go. But it was better then dying.
