Corporate mgt that makes their employees work on thanksgiving evening or midnight deserve the pepper spray

Wow. That is disgusting. All to save what, $100 on an Xbox? Despicable. I REALLY hope they find her... the chance that she might get away with it actually bothers me. The psychopath deserves a couple years in prison IMO.

I got fired from Radioshack in 2005 because I refused to open the store on Black Friday. The customers were already fighting and practically rioting in the parking lot and beating on the door, so I snuck my crew out the back and called the police.

Don't go blaming it on management. You want to blame someone, blame the customers that come in and spend money on those days. If there were no customers on those days, the place wouldn't be open, and the employees wouldn't have to work.

I was a meat cutter in a grocery store for almost 20 years. I worked every holiday and every Sunday. Friends would come in and say "I can't believe they are making you work today!!!!"

I would answer: "Well, you are in here spending money, aren't you? YOU are the ones making me work today!" They would aways say "Well gee, I never thought of it like that!" Then they would go up to the counter and pay for their steaks. Dumbasses.

At Radio Shack? What were you offering, free handjobs? I've never seen more than one other customer at a Radio Shack, regardless of how busy the rest of the mall or plaza is.
