i am sure she will get a better job soon.

the reason of course for a no gun policy is for insurance reasons...

one, being the thug can and will sue, and may even win.

two, being possible deaths on not only an employee, but other people either in the store, or outside.

i have seen stores that had the cash register and counter behind bullet resistant glass, inside of a "cage" of sorts to keep people out.

and a "maze like thru-way" type of window outside, for walk-up customers

i am glad she is still alive, she was not protecting the store, and its valuables and money, so she wasn't "playing cop", when she drew her weapon.....

she was defending her life, and she had the right to do so.

We used to call our supervisor 7-11……. his mouth never closed…..

She wasn't worried about losing her job as much as saving her life according to the article. she worked the graveyard shift and hopefully a better and safer job to come!

I’d rather be fired and alive than dead being unarmed.

lots of weirdos out at night...in all my years, in all the states i drove thru, the graveyard shift was one to be worried about.

Maybe she will sue them and get so much money she won't have to work anymore

Obviously, 7-11 is unable to provide a safe workplace, and will fire you for remedying their neglect..

She signed employment contract and should have known it was not allowed.
I’m with her though. I’m packing and fire me if need be for that type of shift work.

I've had a lotta good things happen after 11, but that was long ago.

Good for her.
7-11's policy is no doubt lawyer driven. It just proves that the company is more concerned about lawsuits than their employee's lives.

she doesn't seemed worried about that, only she's alive and will continue to provide for her family elsewhere. she stated "people is counting on me" or something to that effect. hopefully 7-11 won't file suit on her.

She knew the rules and did what she thought was right. I can't fault 7-11 or their rules are meaningless BUT I'm 100% on her side.

Agree -- found out that since "I found this job, I can find another" is good thought process -- beats dead anytime.
