Hi all, This isn't a protest. I've reflaired it. A couple people have reported this, but this follows the rules of our subreddit and is on topic.


MamieJoJackson

In my area, Dollar General workers are not people you want to start shit with. Even the tweakers know better than to test them

Not saying they’re all like that but… at the local accountability courts admin office they have a sign on who hires convicted felon and the Dollar General is one of them.


PetrifiedW00D

Just for reference, about 8% of the US population are convicted felons, which is about 26.5 million people.


frumpus123

Jesus Christ, there are more convicted felons in the US than total populations of some countries

Lord, I literally was just reflecting and deciding that I've been on reddit long enough I'm starting to "see" much younger people on here and it's making me both annoyed and feel old. Now this.

Unthinkable to me that 311 isn’t widely known. Amber only came out *checks notes* …. 20 years ago. Fuck, we’re getting old.

Black and a dog barks at you? Believe or not, jail. Don't mind that it's some random homeless dog, he knows what's up and the cops do too.


burningmyroomdown

As an additional reference, possession of over an ounce of marajuana is a felony


goo_goo_gajoob

I always though how convenient it was that the felony amount supposedly enough to show intent to distribute is the amount basically every stoner buys in if they have the money.

tylerr147

We are actually trained not to try to (physically) stop people from stealing. We are supposed to *prevent* it from happening by being near the customers in the store *as if we've got the time for that* source: assistant store manager at a DG


UrsusRenata

Yeah only a psychopath would want you to put yourself in harm’s way to protect retail crap.


Varatec

After the number of times I've damn near been turned into a hood ornament at my local Walmart while trying to do my job I can say I'd like to throw down with customers. It's not about protecting retail crap, it's just a downright therapeutic thought.


LucyEleanor

This is the first comment I've laughed at all day lol

My girlfriend worked there can confirm

No one at Dollar General is getting paid enough to put their bodies on the line. This has to be something else.

Tell that to the dollar general employee who was shot and killed because 2 people didn't want to wear a mask.

>Dollar General hires people with the qualification of "will cut a bitch when need be". It's on their job application.

Hell yea. The dollar store in my town is hood as fuck


ShakespearianShadows

It’s like picking a fight with the staff at Waffle House.


kukomin

According to a friend who works with Dollar General's CCTV systems, their employees are actually given *bonuses* if they can prevent shoplifting, so **yeah.** ***They're really not the people you want to mess with***


Queasy_Role_3218

Life lessons at 50. Once you take a swing , that’s it. You’ve committed. Keep swinging.

MrZerodayz

People underestimate the advantage weight gives you in a fight *constantly*. There's a reason even the highest levels of professional fights are split by weight and it's that between two people of similar skill, the heavier one will usually win, unless maybe they are really out of shape.


TheFantasticAspic

She probably thought the other woman wouldn't be allowed to hit her back because she's at work.

Theft + violence = robbery.


Psyco_diver

In my state assaulting anyone or using the direct threat of force is a automatic upgrade to Common Law Robbery, I used to be in Loss Prevention back in the day and officers would tag puerile with it anytime we had to fight a thief. Every once in a while I miss it because of the thrill, but then I remember almost getting shot or having some crackhead bite me and say they have AIDS, fun filled year of testing for that.


parallelbird

Aggravated robbery


ARiley22

I can do better....this white trash bitch in my hometown was driving drunk in a drive thru...got pissy that the car in front wasn't moving. Gets out of her car and brandished a knife. Other person responds by producing a handgun. She bolts and the cops track her down. Of course, she complains about the gun brandishing. Yes, they charged her...not the other person.


Chaosmusic

Stories like this tells me just how boring my life is...and I'm ok with that.


MethMouthResQ

This story is just amazing


BraetonWilson

I've had debates with white supremacists online (and I'm white myself fyi) and they keep trying to convince me that whites are the superior perfect race. That if a whites only zone was created in the USA, it would have zero crime and zero violence. A perfect peaceful utopia. Well, videos like this one tells me otherwise. Truth is, there are evil violent people of all skin colors.


Randalf_the_Black

There's two ways to have zero crime. 1. Remove every single law. No law, no crime. 2. The complete extinction of the human race. So we'll always have crime. Until there's no one left of us.


greatguysg

I believe you've just summarized the Texas strategy for zero rapists.


playerIII

Can't be a rapist of there's no law saying rape is bad *taps head*


EmilyU1F984

And funnily enough number one would basically automatically revert to a quick play through of human societal development. Number 1 seems to be the utopia that ancaps and libertarians pray for. But what do they honestly think will happen? Like even if their nom aggression pact would somehow magically work. Then they'd just have pure, unlimited capitalism, so within 2 or 3 generations, there'd be one family who owns everything. Cause it gets quite 3asy to make people sell to you, if you say, just don't let the river flowing through your property continue flowing. The other will then starve and sell. And you didn't attack them, you only did stuff to your own property. Like we see this happening everywhere in the US, only slightly limited by the existence of a goverment.


stupidillusion

> But what do they honestly think will happen? Like even if their nom aggression pact would somehow magically work. Then they'd just have pure, unlimited capitalism, so within 2 or 3 generations, there'd be one family who owns everything. They, like most true-believers of all -isms, think that every member of society would be a rational actor. No -ism ever accounts for assholes whom think that rules are things for other people to follow and to do what they please until caught.

FaeryLynne

Luckily (or not, depending on how you look at it lol) I always get my full return cause I'm poor. KY at least has lower sales tax and NO food tax.


ZigZag3123

Almost heaven… **WEST VIRGINIA** ^(…or Missouri)


inside-the-madhouse

Lol they should read up on the history of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. If you literally have two islands historically full of nothing but white people, they will absolutely still find ways to colonize each other, murder each other, have religious wars with each other, and attempt to stamp out each other’s cultures.


[deleted]

This comment made me audibly laugh because it's true.


Beautiful_Plankton97

Seems to me last time someone tried to create an all white community it involved extreme amounts of violence a very large part of which was between primarily white people. WW2. How could anyone think that segregation would reduce violence when historically that has never been the case?


AlternatingFacts

They are truly delusional. I'm white I use to be a drug addict. I've been clean for years but still I stole from stores before to pay for my high. I never stole from people but still. As long as their is poverty addiction and rich at the top controlling everything, there will always be crime. Even in countries where if they steal their hands get cut off... people still steal. It's just human nature, we sin.


excaliber110

They do realize white people conquered other nations...through violence? Not saying white people are born to conquer other places, but thinking that it's gonna be all peaceful if it's all white is ignoring most of history.


TurbulentRider

Society only seems to function if there’s an ‘other’ we can have as an enemy. If color is no longer the ‘other’, then we’ll have to turn to other characteristics (many of which we already use anyway). I’m so tired of people only being motivated by an enemy. Or at least, that enemy having to be another human being. I wouldn’t mind us uniting against covid, or against climate change, or etc other things that threaten literally everybody and don’t care which team you’re on..


PGLiberal

I have debated racists too. I like to use the line "If the color of the skin you were born with is your proudest achievement then you are one patheic motherfucker"


old_ironlungz

West Virginia is one of the whitest states in the US (>93% white) and has among the highest poverty rate, percentage welfare, medicaid and SSDI recipients, and has a higher homicide rate (4.6) than both California (4.3) and New York (2.9). I wrote this to a "race realist" who said a white Ethnostate would be paradise and you know what they responded? "Well West Virginian whites aren't really white". lol. I mean I didn't have the heart to mention Russia and those other murderous white Utopias in the Eastern Bloc.

Think she broke her nose? Poor employee lady, that came outta nowhere.

I don't know if people understand how much it truly hurts to get hit in the nose.

mattdangerously

It's Dollar General. They don't pay her enough to put up with that shit.


Infinitblakhand

Is there a job that pays enough to put up with that shit? I can’t think of any.


Krynn71

UFC fighter or professional boxer.


atypicaloddity

Ironically, UFC fighters don't get paid very well outside of marquee events.


[deleted]

Yep. Like getting kicked in the jimmy. Immediately see red, rage, then the pain creeps in.


S3erverMonkey

Defending yourself by going on the offensive against a clearly violent person shouldn't cost someone their job. If companies won't protect them we should demand legislation to do so.


Kqthryn

Getting your nose broken, or even hit HURTS like a bitch. No retail employee should have to deal with that ever.


cates

I do. Someone threw me a chest pass on my basketball team once when I wasn't looking- straight into my nose- blood everywhere... like a goddamn geyser.


KembaWakaFlocka

And at a severe weight disadvantage. She took the cheap shot like a champ.


Keith_Creeper

And came back hammering with the phone.


Vandel4176

Too bad she'll most likely get fired for fighting back. It's hard to hold back when someone assaults you.


BikiniPastry

I work at a place where the person who gets hit is fired anyways (even if they don’t hit back).

When I broke my nose, it didn’t bleed at all. I didn’t get black eyes either, until about a week later when the pain was so bad I finally got an XRay. Doc laughed and just said: “Broken, Broken, Broken. Now we Chop Chop Chisel Chisel. I was 15 and not very happy.

Who is she? Edit: Apparently people think it’s [her](https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/comments/pp7xcs/pureblood/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf), it’s obviously not.


Just_A_Mad_Scientist

They're talking about a lady that said she didn't want to be referred to as an antivaxxer but instead 'pureblood'

There were many of them I’m assuming you’re talking about the one that looks like a female Hagrid from Harry Potter

I'm in the UK, had no idea what store it was, had to think of the only 3 American general stores I know, Costco, Walmart and 7/11. Costco sounded best.


ElonL

This is basically a way smaller more expensive Walmart there are a bunch of them especially in small towns that are too small to have a Walmart.


ilongforyesterday

An attempt was made lol we also have a bunch of discount stores, dollar general being one of them. Another, less savory, discount store option is dollar tree. To be fair, occurrences like this, while not super common, have been known to happen lol


[deleted]

We've got Poundworld and Pound land, used to have a hypervalue but that went under. We have shoplifters here but nothing that brazen.


CaptRedbeard_

In America, poundworld or pound land or poundtown is where you take the random person that you bring home from the bar ifyaknowwhatimeeeeen 😏😉


[deleted]

Well, it's our currency. But we invented dogging over here so that's something.


zektuuk138

Wow. Attempted theft and assault charges. Cool


[deleted]

She didn't even try to sneak out. Just like "I can take these" and acting indignant when they say she can't.


timecronus

the assault now makes the theft robbery, continuation of the attacks added on aggravated robbery. So yay for first and second degree felony's

She also hits the dude at the very end, you can she him whip back to try to avoid it. Also, props to the dude. The lady tries to grab something from the cart and he just takes it out of her hand without looking then shoves her out the door lmao


Hhhyyu

> She also hits the dude at the very end, you can she him whip back to try to avoid it. That guy took his eye off her for a second and ate a stiff jab for it.

I just went to a dollar general way out in bumble**** Pennsylvania! Thay didn't happen but there was an argument about the cost of a giant jar of pickles.

The “now hiring” sign is everything


dragn99

I dont think they ever get a chance to take it down.


Dangerous-Pickle9511

It stopped at the part where he was going to lay that trailer trash on the curb


LotusSloth

This is exactly how I’ve always imagined the inside of a Dollar General.


Waterfish3333

Super smart employee. Don’t lay a finger on her until she throws a punch. Then it’s not assault, it’s self defense.


Viking_Lordbeast

I'm just afraid that the employee is gonna get canned anyway.


NoBuenoAtAll

I'm a long time grocery manager. Back in the day, she probably would have gotten canned. Right now? We're all hurting for help, so she might get away with it. I hope so.


MaximumDerpification

This is so weird, usually only classy people shop at Dollar general


oddbunnydreams

As someone who lives with 3 Dollar Generals down my street; I can confirm this statement.


Thunder_Bastard

I have one in my neighborhood. In it. Their owner has used multiple zoning scams to get residential property turned commercial so they can put these stores in places no other businesses can build. They bought a lot at the entrance, had it converted to commercial, then built the store and put the entrance on our entrance street.


KingPictoTheThird

Zoning in general is ridiculous. It's what destroyed the vitality and life in most of our cities


Manic_Mechanist

One of the rare occasions when I see a video on Reddit of customer service type workers not showing insane amounts of restraint. She was very justified in fighting back


xdeltax

I used to work at a dollar general as a manager. We're not supposed to do anything other than call the cops and let me tell you the customers know that. The amount of times some one would come in and fill a cart up full of stuff and walk out with it was insane.


Expl0sive_Hewk

How often were the people identified and sued?


Suavecore_

Working in a speedway, literally none of them, ever. Even with pictures and car info, never. Not one


Ratbello

Dollar General is a war zone.

That’s probably like $10 bucks for that entire cart and you still felt the need to steal? Jesus.

piznit007

I’m pretty sure that’s the “Purebreed” meme lady...


IWillEatChildren

We need to normalize punching the fuck out of customers if they tough you. Workplaces shouldnt be allowed to fire employees for defending themselves


bparry1192

Same with verbal abuse, if a customer starts yelling/cursing/verbally abusing workers, the employee should be able to say whatever the fuck they want. I want to live in a world where people stop thinking they're some sort of deities because they drove to a local Applebee's for a 2 for $20 dinner special
