Though the store manager credits McClean with saving his life, the clerk ran afoul of AutoZone’s “zero tolerance” policy on guns in its stores.
Now, lets just say I’m a criminal. When I read that, where do you think I’m gonna be on my next robbery? Does this AutoZone no tolerance policy extend to me? I don’t think so...SUCKER.
Chretin is a cretin. I can’t imagine firing an employee who intercepted a criminal in the act of theft, much less disparaging the same clerk as a ‘minimum wage clerk.’
In fact, if he should somehow be apprehended it is also our company policy to permit any of our employees to take vacation leave to testify at any legal proceedings that may occur as a result of a robbery.”
“....take vacation leave...”. Real classy organization to work or die for!
Another good one John.
The employee needs to return the favor with a multimillion dollar lawsuit for the company having failed to take the necessary precautions to protect the employee from the threat to his life in the robbery, and having failed him they also fired him for protecting his own life. $25 million ought to solve the problem.
Not much satire actually.
Yes, it is simple; it is to simple.
Let me be clear about what I have just learned. When, perhaps I should say, if, I shop in an "AutoZone" store I am virtually guaranteed that no one working at AutoZone has any means or inclination to protect customers.
Just for pondering a bit I wonder how it would look if AutoZone’s most serious competitor were to hire the young man in question.
Yes! I would hire him and welcome his concealed carry. “
