That’s cool and all but the defacto Yemini government are acting like pirates and terrorists.

They should add Alexander Acosta to this suit, discovery should be really enlightening.

OP admitted that they at least mildly engaged with the thief, had OP not gone even that far there probably wouldn’t have been a physical confrontation, also OP’s version of events could be biased as well, I’m not accusing OP, I’m just open to the possibility.

So with that said, sure people panic in tense situations, but if they know the policies in place, especially a manager with 20 years on the job, they would probably know that they shouldn’t engage if the policies forbid it, or at least I’d hope they would, managers are supposed to be some of the arbiters of the rules in the workplace.

The problem in these situations is usually the worker’s ego and sense of outrage at the crime, and obviously also the shithead or desperate criminal committing said crime, people have to overcome their ego and outrage and simply not put themselves in harms way, push folks to safety in the back areas, lock yourself in, and call the cops and corporate who ever you’re supposed to call in such situations.

I’m also not talking out of my ass, I’m going off accounts of what my 26 year old daughter has done as an assistant manager at Walgreens in similar circumstances, thankfully she no longer works at Walgreens, as it’s a shit company that does not give AF about their people.

This is one of the many reasons why you should just call the cops and otherwise not get involved unless they’re immediately dangerous to people, a.) The companies have insurance against this stuff, and they usually have policies against would be “heroes” getting involved, and b.) They will fire you, you could get sued, you could wind up with charges yourself. You as a manager should have had an understanding of these things, but you didn’t and now you are facing the consequences of your actions, or the actions you felt forced to take.

Nobody should care that much about their faceless corporation, especially not in retail, why? Because they absolutely do not give a fuck about you, they will fire or lay you off for any silly reason, often just to make or save a few more bucks.

Everyone should just learn how to do your job and go home peacefully, and enjoy your time, or do something more meaningful with your time. You sound like you’re a nice meaningful person, maybe spend some time volunteering with the homeless or other needy groups, those people need the help, not some faceless greedy corporation.

Also get out of front line retail, it’s a shit show at every level, as a manager there are plenty of other fields you can move to if you have the ability, also getting into something like Project Management doesn’t take much, and the Project Management Professional certification is fairly easy to get, albeit somewhat pricey.

Good luck with your next move in life, hope it’s something that brings you happiness.

First we need to do something about all the guns, now rather than brawl weak pieces of shit will pull out their guns to do a bit of mass shooting.

Fuck Peter Thiel, all my homies hate Peter Thiel.

I’ve always wanted to see Petra in person, definitely some beautiful and historical scenery there.

The video is fake and she said “go back to China where you are headquartered” to the Code Pink people, whom are in fact funded by China and have a history of echoing China’s stances and propaganda.

Xitter moderation even called out the fake on the Twitter post of the fake video.

The King of Jordan has been a long standing US ally, and one of the most stable partners in the region.

I didn’t realize Bogans knew what the Internet was yet…

Yet mechanisms, beauracrasies, and laws based on those concepts exist and govern our lives, so are you naive, or just out of touch with reality?

I’m all for things changing for things changing for the better, I agree with you about why base things on what people from an archaic era have to say about how to deal with modern life, but let’s not fool ourselves, we can’t just make these changes overnight, especially not without violence, or the threat of violence, there have to he gradual and systemic changes made, risks to be considered, and plans to be made and implemented, which all takes time, and that’s generally how things are already going, and have been since women’s sufferage began here.

A lot of the current problem also stems from things from the Confederate era, where we let the wound of the first civil war fester and flourish, entities like the John Birch Society, Daughters of the Confederacy, and other Confederate based political groups continue to pull at that divide, and yearn for “the good old days” aka slavery and gays being shoved back into the closet, snd these folks seem to have massive influence over right wing politics. Pair that with the systemic issues black folks face, makes for quite the powder keg.

I completely agree with you on STV, that or Ranked Choice voting should be the way forward, that would raise the quality of candidates.

Blah blah blah blah, okay i get it, you’re so biased against the left that you in your flawed logic think that every single one of us lefties is incapable of comprehending context and nuance, a complaint I commonly make about my conservative father, and which you seem to suffer from as well. Additionally you’re basically just bitching, at length, about the ever present vocal minority, the Righties have them too, except that they seem to be in control of the GOP now, meanwhile the Dems are lead by centrists, go figure.

Case in point:

The issue is we need more parties. I mean this as for the people.We need a party that is left wing economically but need a party that is right wing for what a lot of people unhelpfully group as “common sense issues” or we will just end up with right wing policies.

This is where you’re missing nuance and context yourself, you don’t realize that our democracy isn’t designed for “more parties”, and I put that in quotes because there are already more parties available, but we exist and participate in an adversarial democracy, where it’s two parties fighting an ever drifting balance, this was how our founding fathers designed our democracy to work. The nuance in this is also that, for a new party to replace one of the existing primary parties they would have to both achieve a level of popularity and funding.

Now with that said I think we’re very close to that happening with the GOP/MAGA Party, if Trump loses they will face a strong possibility of collapse, and if this happens without a civil war I picture a further left party rising and the Democrats shifting back to being the conservative party, like they were prior to the civil rights era and the Southern Strategy.

How crazy the Left is? Yes because the Left is so crazy with their acceptance of people and their crazy crusade for human rights and equality, tf is wrong with that? Or is the left so crazy because they want to see our basic human needs met through social programs? Real nutty that is. /s

Maybe you should consider that it’s the religious right who are the crazy ones trying to force us to fit their mold that is based on ancient books written by men that worship invisible beings, while also opposing human rights, equality, and the state social safety nets.

Or maybe it’s the wealthy right and centrists who are the crazy ones with their endless pursuit of selfishness and greed, and the corruption, poverty, and income inequality their greedy selfish pursuits generate.

You’re literally blaming the Left for the insanity of the Right, quite literally mass victim blaming, good job. 👍

It’s sad and these Nazi conservative assholes always seem to take over anything that initially rejects them, but it’s also not like poorer folks can afford to live in places like Huntington or Cocoa Beach, so instead they’re replaced by rich NIMBY conservative assholes.

Irate younger men would approach semi-regularly, especially after evening prayers, eyes burning, and tell us that George Bush is a dog. Yemen was severely punished by George Sr. for holding the position that Arab nations should not intervene in the business between Iraq and Kuwait during the first Gulf War and even more severely punished by Kuwait and her neighbors as thousands of working Yemenis were expelled without warning.

After spending a few years growing up in a major surf community any of us would have replied “ya bro totes agree, fuck all of the George Bushes”.

Most people in the surf and skate scene are definitely not into Right wing shitheads, yet somehow after Trump most of what used to be that surf community is MAGA AF, it’s sad and super shitty, but most of the surfers seem to have disappeared after Kelly Slater grew up and left the area to become the most well known surfer in the world, but the years catching waves with him and the others will always be cherished memories.

This is what a stealth layoff looks like folks.
