Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

After viewing security camera footage of the incident, the pastor arrested the pastor and charged him with assault.

C'mon, Business Insider. Proofread your shit.

No one works at Business Insider anymore, it's all just bots.

Politico also had a bunch of garbled articles where they repeated the same sentences in 2 different paragraphs. ChatGPT is taking over lmao

The south is only an election or two away from deputizing pastors anyways. The editor was reading it from the future.

McDonald's has previously faced several lawsuits from employees over a failure to protect them from violence in the workplace.

The complaints include instances of customers pulling guns on workers, throwing items at workers, and physically attacking workers.

Arm all service workers.

Did this kind of behavior become more common after 2020, or is it just getting more coverage than it use to? I feel like I hear way more stories about psychotic boomers threatening food service workers.

Retail has always been like this. The US doesn’t promote any other outlet, maybe except vague virtue signaling for therapy while not actually providing any financial assistance for it or allowing a work culture that allows it.

So retail is one of the few places in which you get to see face to face the person who “wronged” you and violence and verbal abuse are as American as apple pie.

May be anecdotal but I swear people have gotten more selfish over the past decade. It used to be you'd see someone swerving through traffic at 100mph once or twice a year and now I see it at least once a week. I think COVID really helped accelerate it too (see panic buying all groceries).

Of course, this is all synthesis of the US rugged individualism, nuclear family, manifest destiny propaganda that's constantly shoveled down Americans throats.

High Point, North Carolina, where this happened, is the town Andy Griffith's Mayberry was based on.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

The university there SUCKS, total rich kid playground.

Had no clue about the Mayberry part

It's near Climax, North Carolina as well:

To be fair, I won't blame you, as @[email protected] did report on a superificially similar but ultimately fake news

"Bush’s Beans CEO Al Williams Murders And Minces Factory Worker And “Disposes” Body Placing It In A Vat With Beans. Entire Bush’s Inventory Recalled From Store Shelves As Advised By The FDA"

Hey remember that workplace safety psa where the lady spills a vat of boiling oil over herself and screams in agony

Idk just made me think of that ig

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I might have seen it, I had to watch a burn safety vid at an undisclosed casual dining chain that had one like that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

😱

I did not see that video during my time as a burger serf, maybe because I was never trained for the fryer. That would have given me nightmares, wtf.

well then... so glad a self insulated, auto-resolution was at hand!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

The pastor should be thrown into the deep fryer, what the fuck kind of madman tries to do that? Presumably you could have just gone for any number of blunt or sharp objects, but no, surely the best way to assault a worker is by picking them up and bodily throwing them into boiling oil.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Turn the other cheek?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

smdh my dick head. PC culture gone mad, back in my day pops used to throw me in the deep fryer several times a week and we never complained.
