This is really bad. Common Fucking sense fails to prevail again.

Devin McClean, AutoZone Employee, Fired After Stopping Robber With His Own Personal Weapon

The Huffington Post

After AutoZone employee Devin McClean stopped a serial thief from robbing the local auto parts store in York County, Virginia, some hailed him as a hero, but not the head honchoes at AutoZone. They saw McClean's actions as a reason for termination.

It's not the fact that McClean thwarted the would-be-robber, but how he did it.

When the “fake beard bandit," a repeat offender who has struck more than 30 stores in the area, recently entered the store with a gun in hand, McClean took it upon himself to stop the robbery. McClean darted out the door grabbed his gun, reentered the store and confronted the bandit. He was fired two days later.

Shortly after the incident, a Facebook group called "Boycott Autozone in support of Devin Mclean" popped up, asking community members to call AutoZone in support of McClean. Another campaign against AutoZone that calls for the company to publicly apologize, change its policy and reinstate McClean was also posted on a boycott site.

An Autozone representative told a local news channel that the company has a zero tolerance policy for employees bringing weapons into their stores.

This isn't the first time an employee has been fired for intervening in a robbery. In 2011, four Walmart employees were terminated after they disarmed and subdued a gun-toting assailant. Walmart policy directs employees to "disengage" and "withdraw" when a weapon is drawn.

Best case scenario the guy gets his job back, but I guarantee Autozone isnt going to change their policy.

This I concur with. Who in their right mind would risk their own life and the life of others to save a couple hundred bucks for AutoZone?

Post of the thread.

Why would anyone put their life on the line for a company probably paying them somewhere near minimum wage? Plus, Autozone is probably insured for any kind of losses due to theft or burglary. This guy is an idiot, and deserves to be fired.

At least you know where I stand. You, on the other hand, rarely have the balls give an opinion on anything.

And bosco with another dy-no-mite drive by.

Anytime big companies/stores like this is getting robbed the employees should just let it happen. Mo need to play hero because money they lose is chump change and also the company will fire you without 2nd thought
