    Thats another thing you KNOW they can cure AIDS, Herpes, Cancer, all that evil crap.

    BUT


    There is more money in treating it, then curing it.

    Most places have similar policies. They don't want to be held liable for an employee going Rambo on a thief's ass.

    Personally, I think its horseshit. I don't care where I am, if I feel like my lifes in jeopardy, I'll do whatever it takes to protect myself. Those four guys did the right thing.

    Yep I'm 22 and I get the door for my elders can the other day a older couple looked at me like :eek:

    Thank you!



    Me: No problem you have a nice day

    Couple as they walked off: What a nice young boy

    LOL


    Or when you stop to help someone and they dont get out of the car LOL


    I stopped and helped a elderly couple he was to scared to get out of the car, thats when you KNOW something is wrong.

    Anyhow I changed his tire and he got out when I was almost done and thanked me.

    Becuase they did, they lost their income to feed theirself and their family. When they attempt to get another job it will be there on their work history they violated store policy.....

    That's the truth, and all these kids having kids!!! 15 years old and having a BABY!!!

    Think they grow up with manners? When their mom (not all) are out partying at 1am....


    :( sad.......

    I see kids talking back and hitting their parents my dad woulda wore me out if I EVER talked back to him.

    "If I ever catch you smoking or drinking......



    BOY I will make you wish I never even thought about having kids...


    Do you understand me?"


    Yes Sir


    "Are you sure because if that day comes I dont want any excuses,

    If you get drunk call me I'll bring you home but afterwards when you wake up we're going to have a long talk."


    Yes Sir


    For the longest time I wouldn't even go around smokers or anyone who was drinking lol

    I just heard from my friend's cousin who is a friend to one of them. He told me that they are thinking about suing Wal-Mart to change the stupid policy and some wages.

    I know some business have their policy but it was stupid anyway.

    obviously the pieces of shit that make these decisions at walmart have never made life or death decisions.
    when you're put in the position that these 4 were you don't have time to make a decision based on company policy.
    all this says it that i can walk into walmart with a gun and walk out with whatever i want.

    But a week later, all four were fired from their jobs. Walmart said their actions had violated company policy and put their fellow workers and shoppers at risk.


    are you fucking serious. these people should be appluaded for not letting it go any further than what it had. that situation could have gotten nasty real quick. its sad to see america go down the drain like it is
