I swear every service worker likes to pretend like they don't care but they take their job more seriously than anyone. The more menial someone's job is the more seriously they have to take it for some reason.

The problem is with this dude. He had a gun. He was looking for an opportunity to use it. They all wanna be heroes

I've owned guns for over a decade now. Many infact. Haven't or wanted to shoot anyone.

Only thing I ever Shot was a opossum cause at the time I was ignorant and thought it was a threat to my outdoor cats. Bitch was huge even by possum standards. It was stealing their food but I still felt bad once I learned they wherent a real threat.

As a produce manager, I wouldn't even blink if someone took an apple off a display and started to eat it. I would only ask them to toss the core out in the garbage. Like, seriously, we factor in these sort of things into our budget.

So the employee spent his whole shift walking around with a gun in his waistband? It didn't have to be shoplifting something was going to set this guy off eventually.
