A former coworker who worked with me for several years had the same thing happen to him. He was an ordained minister who worked for Lowe’s as an outside sales consultant who went into customer homes and quoted roofing, siding, windows, etc.
He was an annual million dollar producer. Until one day he was walking into a Lowe’s when he saw some employees confronting a shoplifter. As the thief bolted, my coworker strategically placed an elbow into the thief’s face as the thief was running past him knocking him down and out.
Before the criminal woke up and the police were there, Lowe’s management had fired and escorted off the premises their million dollar man. This country sorely needs torte reform.

So many corporations are destroying their companies with their “woke” policies. Reading stories such as yours and the one in the linked article, makes me think twice about shopping at big box stores. I’m sure I’m not the only one. For instance, just a few decades ago it was fun to go Christmas shopping just for the decorations, ambiance, and cheerful attitude of everyone else. Even if you didn’t plan on purchasing anything specific, impulse buys were almost guaranteed.
Of course, those days are long gone. First came the Black Friday frenzies, then the war on Christmas music and decorations and even the words “Merry Christmas”. Now there is a real threat of being injured or killed by someone who feels they have been “dissed” or who thinks they are entitled to any product they want at no cost. And, if you successfully defend yourself or others you are likely to end up in jail.
Just think of the money lost to those companies from those shoppers due to the wokeness and DIE policies.
