Full title...
Hatchet-wielding thief backs down when store clerk pulls out gun - but firearm costs employee his job
Oregon has so many potheads now...they are retarded and gay
I wonder if there were fingerprints and DNA on the hatchet that the robber left behind?
Based on their website, this company is retarded and gay...
“He said employees are trained to de-escalate robbery situations to avoid injury, according to the station.”
And that’s EXACTLY what happened, asshole.
Or, is it what they really want is to avoid injury to the perpetrators?
These people are so goddamned stupid it beggars belief.
The clerk was fired for de-escalation that works in the real world, when he should have been put in charge of the training.
Who wants to work for an insecure employer who will sacrifice employees on the altar of zero tolerance?
God works in mysterious ways.
Zero tolerance-zero intelligence.
Plaid Panties?
Never bring deescalation to a hatchet fight.
Why are they looking for the hatchet dude?
He failed at robbing. Nothing happened.
When they find him, will the fired worker get his job back?
Can the worker sue him for being the cause of loosing his job?
Oh, and if the president had to de-escalate the situation, he’d probably wet his pants first.
I see no reason why a worker is not allowed to defend themselves, their life. Merchandise is replaceable. A life isn’t.
PP is getting totally hammered on facebook. Serves ‘em right.
What just happened is akin to the owner sticking a “Gun Free Zone” sign next to his store. Thieves across the state now know this. Good luck!
Funny, the hatchet wielding POS must not have read the sign.
Seems to me he very effectively de escalated the situation. He did not attempt a citizens arrest or shoot the would be armed robber.
Plaid Pantry does NOT have a zero tolerance policy on weapons.
Plaid Pantry has a Pro Violence policy on weapons. They allow the perpetrator to be armed.
By firing healthy defenders, Plaid Pantry publically announces their support for violence.
Are Judges SO STUPID in America that lawsuits only go one way and Pro Violence businesses are never punished.
This business CEO should be sued AND sent to prison for pro violence policies. Why are CEOs let off the hook?
Why are Judges SO STUPID?

DO NOT SHOP LIST
Store clerk appeared unrattled by the robbery attempt...and very quick with his weapon. I’m thinking he’s practiced.
