$35 and hour. Sign me up man.

There’s a liquor store in Albuquerque
that’s been doing this for years.

One 18" barrel 12 ga. within easy sight behind the cash register, another under the counter in an easy-reach holster and a new store uniform:

Wrong one - I thought the same but no. Its QuikTrip, not Kwik Trip

[rawcatslyentist]

we’re seeing all kinds of (security and crime-related) incidents just plummet,”

No kidding! It's common sense, and plain facts. Criminals don't like hard work or they would have a job. Make it hard for them and they wont commit crime.

“Hybrid employees?” Any particular pair of races that they prefer in their desired crossbreed? The illiteracy today is astounding. Or did corporate management come up with that nauseating phrase?

[bgill]

Human and squash plant hybrid?

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

All you Okies, open carry, rumor has it $30+ per hour and I guess the handgun will be deductible.

[ThunderSleeps]

Hey, I can work while armed - well I could if I were allowed to. Does that make me a “hybrid” employee? Can I file for federal gas-tax credits?

[metmom]

There are visual cues that make it easy to differentiate between regular QT workers and the hybrid employees targets, who are armed, he said.

They should NOT be distinguishing them.

Let the thugs guess.

[metmom]

Otherwise, I *LIKE* it.

[BudgieRamone]

Quick trips are nice stores, glad they are doing this, but I fear the reason it’s hard to recruit is they are looking for people with police and or military credentials. your average Joe need not apply.

[familyop]

They’re wanting police to do the job. In many cities, preferred candidates for police department positions will have bachelor’s degrees, preferably in criminal justice, social work, psych., etc.

[ConservativeMind]

Why don’t they just let their employees concealed carry?

$35 and hour. Sign me up man.

Is there a spelling and punctuation test, or just weapons proficiency?

[PapaBear3625]

Why don’t they just let their employees concealed carry?

Liability and insurance. An off-duty cop, moonlighting in a store, who shoots a robber is operating as a police officer, not as a store employee, when he opens fire.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

The one by our house has turned into THUG central and now have a Police presence because of it.
