That could have turned out much worse.

This kind of thing seems to be happening more recently.

Imagine doing all of that for a corporation that doesn’t give a fuck about you

Poor on poor violence

I dunno, kinda looks like he ran into her.

[u/wadafruck]

She got fired and is now working for door dash. I think what she did was pretty stupid/crazy but at the same time im pretty sick of these thieves. I wish someone WOULD do something but yeah...

[u/bpetersonlaw]

And now small business owners across the country will be donating to her gofundme for doing what they all dream of doing.

[u/KingOfSuedeClothes]

The amount of people defending theft in these comments is wild

Dollar General treats its employees worse than almost any other corporation in the United States

The fact that yall will run shoplifters over so your employers billions are protected by an imperceptible percent is the reason we can't have nice things in this country

Fuck Dollar General, ghost crews, unpaid overtime, $7.25, 37 billion dollar value

Anyone who works for DG should try to figure out the best way to rip them off, you practically have a moral obligation to do so. You are the most replaceable worker in the country and they are the most replaceable employer.
