He was there an hour early for dinner and when they told him to come back later, he reached for an already prepared brown bag of food so they shot him.

They said the “volunteers are encouraged to protect the property” as they have no formal security.

Update: “there was no altercation per se, just a lot of arguing” and they murdered him for it

They shot him because he didn’t want to follow arbitrary rules.

Have you ever lived in the America south? Being shot, shouted out, or scorned for disobeying arbitrary rules is a common experience. The south will be the last place on fucking earth where cashiers will be allowed to sit down while working.

Which is weird, cuz I just ran across a cashier that was allowed to open carry her firearm today.

Can’t sit down, but you can blow a mother fucker away

Me in Brazil. My girlfriend of the time was tickled that I was shocked that cashiers could sit at their register. My mom having worked in the grocery store industry for 27 years was in awe. Third world, right?

Where I work, a co-worker with bad knees was told he couldn’t sit down because he didn’t have a doctor’s note, even though he was visibly overweight
