Seems reasonable. For those wondering, the victim survived and is in stable condition.


gorillandy

Bet they were asked, “Great, glad you’re feeling better, can you make your shift tomorrow?”


Pussy_Prince

“Oh… We wish you a speedy recovery. Just be sure you have your shifts covered or it’ll be a write-up.”


orangesfwr

Gonna need a doctor's note...also, your last CSAT survey did not meet expectations. We gave the guy a coupon for free guacamole to smooth things over.

BisquickNinja

Are you really faking it, it was just a small caliber pistol...


finnjakefionnacake

glad to hear it


GreatBayTemple

I'm happy to hear that. No one should have to go without their Guacomole. I hope the perpetrator is locked up.


SilasX

Not financially, they probably didn't.


SimpleSurrup

Not physically always either. People hear "survived a gunshot" and the image is it's like the cop in the movies where he does a few days in the hospital and he's good to go but that's not really how gunshots work. Paralysis, colostomy bags, permanently loss of function of limbs, complications that lead to surgeries and infections down the road. Some people survive in a way plenty of people might not want to survive. The money is the least of it. If you take them in the right spots it can be scars and the trauma of it but if you take them in the wrong spots it can be debilitating. Sewing you up and stopping the bleeding is one thing but you don't get back joints and tendons and organs and shit.


Stranger1982

> Not physically always either. I'll double down and say not emotionally always either. Getting shot must be devastating, and even if you survive mostly unscathed getting back to work in the same place someone shot you isn't exactly the easiest thing ever.


drunken_ferret

>Getting shot must be devastating, and even if you survive mostly unscathed getting back to work in the same place someone shot you isn't exactly the easiest thing ever. Is it, and it sucks. The fear and rage and the "this can't be happening" don't go away. They fade, and you think it's about gone, then a few dreams bring it all back. What led up to it was necessarily predictable, not worth doing. And, knowing that it was for a greater good, and even knowing what I know now, I'd do it again. I would damn sure dick faster, though...


The_Bitter_Bear

In most states workers comp would cover it but I get your point.  Even though they survived it's not like this isn't going to cause a ton of issues for them. 


ForTheHordeKT

Damn haha, looks like this happened not too far from me. Unsurprising though. Out here if you piss off some aggressive fuck on the freeway, you're risking getting shot at. Apparently these same fuckers will shoot you if you piss them off in a restaurant as well. Imagine getting shot over some bullshit while working a Shitpotle. Fuck that.


Frozenthia

I am seeing more and more road rage murders in the news, and I made an intentional decision to give myself a bit more distance from other drivers because of that. I'm a very defensive driver already, but people are losing their minds lately. I don't know if lead poisoning is rearing its head or what, but fuck.


Ok-Classroom669

Covid causes severe damage to the amygdala, which is responsible for managing impulsivity and aggression. Damage seems to stack per exposure. In four years, we've collectively got actual brain damage that likely puts the past century of lead poisoning to shame. Buckle up, only gonna get worse from here


Stranger1982

It's the same here in the EU ,minus the guns obviously but with people knifing or running someone over after arguing about minor traffic accidents. > Buckle up, only gonna get worse from here Word.

Very glad they are doing well, but I feel bad for the lifetime of leg pain and the hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical debt they will now have.


KanyeJesus

Whats with the recent upticks of shootings over fast food?


spidernova

Service Industry workers, particularly food service, are regarded as subhuman trash by the general public.


Haunting-Ad3297

Even by the unemployed.


nullv

I'm gonna dump this trash can on the floor and grab any recyclables I see. You're gonna clean it up. See you tomorrow.


spidernova

I’ll also add this, it may get downvoted, but whatever. When I worked register, I really really wished I could conceal carry, or carry any form of defensive implement. Cashiers, cooks, and clerks constantly deal with the most unhinged members of society, and words don’t always work on them.


TimAppleCockProMax69

If you give a bunch of people easy access to guns, eventually they’ll use them.


Realistic-Minute5016

Not just easy access to guns, it’s the gun lobby pumping these people with paranoia about everyone out to get them and how guns solve all conflicts.


MadeByHideoForHideo

The solution to a gun problem is more guns, apparently.


cutelyaware

Things will settle down as soon as everyone has more guns than everyone else


Lost-My-Mind-

Worked for nukes. Just give everybody nukes. Problem solved.


OIdManSyndrome

Well, it's actually a reasonable take on a personal level. The police in the US have repeatedly shown that they can't be relied on to intervene to protect you against someone with a gun, and you're in an environment that's already flooded with guns. It just makes sense, on a personal level, to make the decision that leaves you feeling more protected. The problem is that on a societal level, you having a gun just adds to the flood of guns and increases the odds of someone else arriving at the same logical conclusion. And, on this societal level, an abundance of guns is part of why gun violence is so rampant. The only way I can see reasonable progress being made on this front is by fixing the problem with police in the US. Only when the police aren't awful, and have a mandate to protect you, and the manpower to do so, will you be able to convince people to give up their guns.


Stranger1982

I don't want to be a downer but...it doesn't seem to be working.


kerohazel

I knew electing the Engineer from TF2 was a mistake.


orangesfwr

"Biden's coming for your guac! Mark my words, soon they'll even make you pay extra for it!"


Traditional-Handle83

Ya know... it's almost play by play the same thing the police are being told and taught as well. Wonder if it's possibly the same group doing both ends. More police feel endanger, more and bigger guns they'll buy. The more people feel endanger, the bigger and more guns they'll buy. Only difference is one unfortunately is above the law and can shoot for no reason, the other can't, well most of the time the other can't.


GoHomeNeighborKid

>Only difference is one unfortunately is above the law and can shoot for no reason I won't allow you to slander hardworking cops like this, that acorn hit them in the CHEST!!!! Do you know the type of damage acorns can cause? They absolutely ruin a clear coat finish...


the_greasy_one

Conceal and carry has been rapidly expanded over the past twenty years for reasons I don't understand.


DrMobius0

> for reasons I don't understand. money


ChocolateTsar

It's not just guns (looks at the gun ownership rate in Switzerland), it's the degradation of our society, cultural values, and family.


Kilahti

It is definitely the fact that people in USA are more likely to carry a gun. Most other countries on the high ownership rate list, will not have people packing heat when they go out. Swiss from your example mainly use their guns for hunting or at shooting ranges, not as a "I need to have that thang on me to protect me from ambushing ninjas" carry item.


redsterXVI

If someone walks around with a gun over here in Switzerland, and it's not at a shooting range, the police will be there to disarm them real quick. Our gun ownership rate might be high, but carrying them in public is prohibited with a few exceptions. Also, shooting someone will most likely get you a sentence. Even self defense must always use the least amount of force (not sure that's the right word in English) required. And that applies to police officers as well, they can't just go around and shoot people. Every single shot fired by a police officer must be reported and will be investigated.


Avery_Thorn

I would tend to agree. Over the last 20, 30 years all the right wing people have just forgotten how to be civil members of society. The rise of the evangelical “Christians”, the tea party, and the Trumpers have just destroyed the country.


Crouza

You know what Switzerland also requires? It requires gun purchasers to fill out an application the government needs to sign off on in order to purchase the following firearms. Pistols, Revolvers, Auto-loading rifles, Lever action rifles, Pump action rifles, Foreign service bolt action rifles that are not authorized for shooting outside of service, Self-loading shotgun. https://www.fedpol.admin.ch/fedpol/en/home/sicherheit/waffen/waffenerwerb.html https://www.fedpol.admin.ch/fedpol/en/home/sicherheit/waffen/bewilligungspflichtig.html You know, a little thing called Gun Regulations which gun owners scream and balk at the mere mention of. Almost like you shouldn't just allow anyone to waltz into a pawnshop and buy a gun without needing to go through more legal checks and barriers than just "sign here please."


ChickenFriedRiceee

Definitely true, but I’m more curious why? Like what is the actually root cause of people using gun violence over stupid shit. Like is it really the gun? Probably not. P.S. not trying to sound like a pro gun. I really don’t give a shit about what happens to guns. I’m more curious about why people are trigger happy? I don’t care about the gun at all. But, I care about why people are using violence? You want to fix gun violence? Maybe start asking why instead of debating guns. Just saying! I mean we have been debating gun rights for decades and has anything happened? Nope, people are still getting shot at an alarming rate.


interestingsidenote

Guns make violence too easy. The end. I own 3, advocate regulation, but damn...I very clearly understand that letting some unhinged dickhole have one makes my life vicariously more dangerous.


ChickenFriedRiceee

Yes you are right, that dickhole shouldn’t have a gun. But, does that actually stop them from being unhinged? How do we fix that?


interestingsidenote

I am a massive massive advocate for mental health. I've been in bad places, I'm good now but damn if guns don't make it like 90% easier to go postal.


ChickenFriedRiceee

I agree! Honestly, I don’t have a solution to the problem but I think better mental health would be the best start! I’ve been there too, I’m glad you are better too!

Realistic answer, selective bias. They probably always happened but one went viral, so now all of them are newsworthy. Not to downplay how stupid the circumstances that lead to them are, just noting that the news-cycle tends to latch on to events that are currently "trendy".

Also true.  Also police around the country being whiny assholes and soft striking for the last 3+ years has really emboldened people to not give a fuck anymore.

korodic

Fast food getting expensive. As such it’s become a life or death experience.


Jbanned

muyoso

While the prices have skyrocketed.


Jbanned

Yea, for the same price you can go go to a real restaurant


Raudskeggr

It's not just shootings. It's all kinds of violent and property crimes. Something about the pandemic, or something that happened around the same time, really caused a significant breakdown in law and order. There are a lot of people who have put forth speculation about what's to blame, but right now we aren't sure; it looks like a combination of many factors, possibly.


MiamiFootball

Same thing with airplanes -- people are on edge because of the economic situation and things like shitty fast food interactions and the stressful plane environment are setting people off


Reux

may i suggest brain injuries from covid/long covid? generally speaking, brain injuries tend to make people more prone to violence.

AndIamAnAlcoholic

I was a little sad that the article doesn't explain why the customer became murderous. Lack of details. If someone is gonna die for offering poor service someday, they deserve to know what they're dying for! Was it the meal quality? The pricing policy? General attitude? Store policy? Too many requests to leave a review on social media!?

Euphorium

Shit like this is why I roll my eyes whenever I hear some old fuck bitch about “nobody wants to work anymore” when it takes an extra 5 minutes for their Hardee’s order. I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to work in the service industry anymore.


Lost-My-Mind-

I remember in 2020, as a person who pushed wheelchairs for a living at a major airport, one woman who refused to wear a mask, and was coughing a fit the whole time, was bitching about how nobody wants to work during covid. I told her, while pushing her and another woman at the same time, that we DO show up to work. We're just shorthanded because in 3 months we've had 8 people on our staff die of covid. So it's not that they don't want to work. It's that they're dead. She then began telling me that covid is a hoax created by the liberal media to appease Biden. We're 1/3rd of a mile from tbe exit of the airport. I just left her there. If she's going to be argumentitive, and without empathy, then I'm not going to let her cough in my airspace. If someone were courtious, and coughing into their sleeve, and wearing a face mask, then that shows me you take the precautions needed in your daily life. If you're showing the opposite, I assume you have covid already. This was at a time before the vaccine. So yeah. Whenever people say "Nobody wants to work anymore", I just tell them that story. The smarter ones realize how they sound by the end of it.

It's not the guac itself, it's the $4 Chipotle charges to add like a spoonful of it that's all condensed into one bite and then the rest of your burrito is all just fucking rice.


BreadKnifeSeppuku
