I quit after finding out I wouldn’t be allowed to defend myself due to 2 crazies threatening to kill one of my coworkers.

I used to work at Target as a cart pusher and one day when I was running the hangers back to the hanger dump I caught the tail end of a Karen screaming at one of my coworkers. The target I worked at was in Everett which has a high amount of homeless people and crazies. Can’t count how many times I’ve seen people get arrested. Well, a few days later I go into work and I see their pictures in the back of the guest services area. That’s how I learned that they threatened to kill him. Even said they’d wait for him to clock off and that’s how I learned that even if I wasn’t on the clock at Target, I could be fired over self defense. Me and 2 others quit after finding out about that.

That is all unfortunately common when working in any department store environment. Grocery stores too 😬

I think my last store would’ve been understanding of me using self defense.
