The convenience store chain Super America must have borrowed Pizza Hut’s personnel manual.
An employee of Super America has been fired for trying to protect a fellow employee who was being attacked by a robber. The employee said he thought he was saving the woman’s life. The company said he violated policy, the female employee, presumably, should have been left to fend for herself:
Mark Beverly was one of two employees inside a Roseville Super America when a robber came into the store on March 26.
Beverly was cleaning the bathroom when he heard the store clerk cry out. He came out to find a robber attacking the female employee.
“I just jumped on his back and trying to hit his head and pushed him over the counter. I jumped back over and he was out of there,†he said.
Later that day, Beverly returned to work only to be punished for his actions.
It’s confirmed. We’ve become a nation of wimps.
