    I worked for a dollar store in the ghetto, and we got held up repeatedly at gun point.

    Corporate wouldn’t do anything for our safety.

    Store manager lined up a better gig, and all but two employees decided to quit, because he spent his free time up there, not working but guarding us. More people at the front, bigger deterence - plus him being an MMA fighter helped.

    It was timed for black Friday for maximum impact. Finding another minim wage job wasn’t too hard at time, we just had all worked together in the past and liked each other, so we stuck around each other.
