“got involved after the customer made physical contact with a store employee.”
Fired for Doing his Job??
I knew there was more to the story...
Do I even need to ask?
“the security guard, who has been “permanently removed from Whole Foods Market,” got involved after the customer made physical contact with a store employee.
Whole Foods Market “takes a zero tolerance approach to violence,” the spokesperson said. “
So if someone gets violent in a Whole Foods store, they’ll fire any employee who interferes. That should make people shopping there feel safe... at least the violent ones.
Disarm their security? Did he use a weapon or did he just put a good old fashioned whupazz on him?
The truth is this. A certain demographic has so raped stores in its neighborhoods by shoplifting and internal theft they have to have armed security, and often police officers. I know of towns that have them at the library and thrift store.
This is why it is so hard to place and maintain a grocery store in the hood. They bleed it dry.
Payback for Whole Foods owner not liking Obamacare?
Sounds like Whole Foods is overpaying for “security” if they demand no force or violence if necessary. They could no doubt hire some Jehovah’s Witnesses with Go Pros a lot cheaper.
And the security guard fixed it.
Why does it matter, I wonder, that the security guard was armed?
No rounds were fired, correct?
Zoe Maeks. Leftist iort from England. Who needs her? Piers Morgan redux.
A lot wrong here beyond the leftist whiner fro Ol’ Blighty.
Liberalism unbound. No one involved escapes culpability to my mind.
The second woman in the first video seemed spaced out. Maybe you need to be to pay that kind of money for food with fantasy labels.
Oakland needs to become retail desert.
"I hope that Whole Foods does reveal their fact finding with transparency
I highly doubt that will happen, since it will work in the favor of the security guard. Those missing facts would break the existing narrative.
:: Whole Foods Market “takes a zero tolerance approach to violence,” the spokesperson said ::
Well, there you go. Seems that “horrific situation” was caused by the customer making physical contact with the security guard.
Voila!

As I expected.
Being employed as a security guard or police officer, for that matter, does not give you a license to physically abuse people, or take out out your frustration on people. Then again, the trash needs to be taken out from time to time.
He probably just got tired of watching able-bodied grifters steal his money.
Hearing from S.F. friends that he had a STOLEN EBT card and was busted; started pushing people around, starting with female cashier. Nasty thug with baggy pants with underwear showing. WF wants to sweep under rug to avoid BLM riots
Must be a black customer and black security guard. The guard knew a scam was going down and a fist fight ensued. The customer threw the first blows and ended up on the sidewalk outside oozing blood
That’s my take on the situation
Moral of the story is don’t try to fight the security gauard. Customer was prolly on drugs or drunk and figured he could.
I live about 700 feet from this store, but today is the first time I was in there since the incident. The new guards are not armed and are much more low-key. The previous guards dressed like a SWAT team. The new guys wear polo shirts. In fact, I wasn’t sure they were guards at first, but after seeing enough of them standing around and not doing anything, I figured it out.
Oh...the old guards were ALL Black guys. The new guards all seem to be White. And one is a gal :-)
