A guy we will call Kyle, just walked out after a conversation with the manager on duty. The manager is ALWAYS a bit snarky and I laughed so hard I cried when I overheard it happen
Manager - Kyle I need you to put the pride hats that just came in out for sale.
Kyle - I'm not doin' that.
Manager - why?
Kyle - I don't believe in it. Bein' gay is wrong
Manager - No one's asking you to suck a dick Kyle, just put the hats out for sale.
Kyle - I'm not doin' it.
Manager - Well you're not doing anything else until it's done
Kyle - fuck you then *storms out*

On a flight I saw a guy in front of me that was scrolling on instg. He saw a post for International Transgender Day of Visibility. Saw him send the post to someone else and say his work was turning "woke" too so he was applying to other jobs, how he couldn't work for some "woke" place. Then he proceeded to watch 10 hrs straight of "race for the championship"

What kinda store is this
JustKiddingOrAmI
Kyle doesn't want to put the hats up for sale because he secretly wants them all for himself.
reichstein
I personally can't stand the taste or smell of beer, but I can still sell it just fine. Just because you don't personally like something does not mean that everyone else should be denied it.
Illithidbane
Not even wear the hat, just literally stocking merchandise on a shelf. If he doesn't approve of what's in inventory, he won't do his job? Looks like he should work at a pharmacy. I understand that Walgreens doesn't mind if pharmcists don't do their job for "religious convictions."

If I can sell waffle and blue cheese potato chip he can stock hats
TheMysteriousTraveller
That, is an abomination of nature.
AimlessSavant
Kyle definitely sucks dick.
Shaodyn
Kyle probably insists that he's in the right because he stood up for his bigotry, I mean beliefs.
CaptSchmidtGaming
that manager has dealt with people before holy shit.

As if believing in something is a prerequisite for doing a job.

At what point did many in our society think its their job to police what their neighbors are doing? MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!!

Kyle's mom drank gallons of white claw when she was pregnant w him.

Let me guess what political affiliation Kyle leans to...
DoucheBaggington
At least he stood by his beliefs and didn't cave. New jobs are easy to find. Shouldn't bow down to something you don't believe in. Good for "Kyle."

This is quitting your job not losing your job. Which is what you should do if you disagree with what they're forcing you to do enough.
velcrosnake
Technically he no longer has his job, so he lost it, even if he is the one who decided to lose the job.
TheIronSavior
He didn't exactly quit. He was told his job was over if he can't to it

Why fire him when you can let him quit. Saves a ton of money.

My wife's uncle was like this. Dude served two years as a Navy cook, fucked up his knee somehow, and spent the rest of his life on partial VA benefits, literally never worked again. Referred to himself as a "wounded veteran".

Ayn Rand supports this message.
Ironferrox
Yea the other side is when you are in a very conservative area and you get fired for asking if the bigots can tone down their bigotry in the break room and you are the one that gets told to leave for being too political@at work. He’s this happened to me I kindly requested to a boss that I was feeling uncomfortable by a coworkers xenophobic remarks regarding Mexican and black (affirmative action bad and Mexicans taking our jobs comments typical, MAGA build wall comments and all that.)
Ironferrox
A few days later I was asked to leave for not fitting in with the company’s values. Laid off for “not being a good fit” I am confident my complaints that outed me as a progressive in a at will employment state was my reason for wing laid off and being at will work and this being s layoff it didn’t prohibit me from filing for unemployment but with unemployment benifits being so low in my state even getting unemployment benefits still means not making enough to even pay rent.
Ironferrox
Yes this is legal in a at will employment state a job can dismiss you for anything they deem fit which means you can be dismissed (and be eligible for unemployment) for any reason including repercussions for complaining about Right wing political rhetoric (you can’t be fired for it but you can be laid off for “not being a good fit”)
Ironferrox
Unfortunately the same rules that allow firing a person for being a bigot (well more for insubordination of your duties) means you can lay off a person for being a bad fit when you notice they are too progressive or left leaning. And yes I am white cis and heterosexual male but I still feel I shouldn’t have to listen to bigotry in the break room as personially I feel tolerating bigotry in the break room means being seen as being complacent in bigotry.
Ironferrox
(If you sit down at a table with 3 other people and one of them is a Nazi and none of them leave then it’s a table of 4 Nazis, this logic). Anyways yea I’ve been essentially laid off in a conservative state (from substitute teaching) for asking a principal nicely if one of the coaches could tone down their open bigotry. Probably shouldn’t have said that at a school in a southern state that’s won state in football should have I? Guess being a bigot is okay if you win at sports ball.
Ironferrox
Point being yea the same justification for firing or laying off for refusal or insubordination on bigoted grounds is the same logic used to support laying off someone for their sjw Facebook posts made when not on the clock.
thedudeman519
They hiring ?

When they say "gay is wrong" or something along the line, a good counter is "so is being dumb but I'm not about to lynch you". Good laugh.

I understand, it's if course better to be called TheRoyalDong than Kyle.

I've had people come in wearing maga hats. Didn't agree with them, but I still helped them

I have split feelings on it, often. I don't yet feel like it's worth losing my job over but it's hard not to toe the line.

Side story I never knew the idea of a dry wall when I was in college. Till I leaned in to one. now Im not a fat guy but upper body big but to just lean in to one without know was interesting and scary at the same time. i would think they would be a bit more sturdy

At this point let’s hope that’s all he shoots up

Dark and funny. lol
idontlikepickingusername
You're half right
boruto
At first, I thought you meant "shot up" in the injectable drug sense. Given that beer is carbonated, that would kill him very quickly, so i was confused, but not entirely put off by this explanation.
HsuDoNihm
Honestly unlikely to kill 'em. It'd sting so bad going in they'd have to be very dedicated to inject enough to cause serious harm.
boruto
Oh? I thought having air bubbles in one's blood was a sure-fire way to have a stroke or worse
HsuDoNihm
Oh it's definitely bad, but it's only threatening if bubbles get to major organs. They'll dissolve before then unless a large amount is injected... which would hurt like hell for the whole process.
Akurei00
Nah, Kyle's gonna buy up all the gay pride hats to shoot. "I'll show them!"
CorvidPrime
I used to work in a military surplus store. We sold flags. Not once in the years I had been there had ANYONE asked for a Confederate flag. Then the “controversy” happened. Suddenly everyone wanted one, and thought we had “caved to pressure”, since we didn’t have them. We didn’t cave, dipshit… We responded to the market. You love that flag so much, where were you BEFORE it was “controversial”. You don’t want the flag… You want to be an asshole.
Mikeiller
I miss the 80s and 90s when the flag was just "Yee-haw! I'm a southern rebel!" and you got them from seedy gas stations and roadside stands
astrangehop
Or county fairs
eggmuffin
Assuming this is US Army surplus, it would be very strange for them to sell battle flags belonging to an enemy state.
CorvidPrime
Especially when the store was in a Northern state.
ToasterDent
Says: "America is under attack!" Also: Flies flag of traitors
Xenarion
Why would a military surplus even have them in the first place? They don't make those for the military, do they?
CorvidPrime
No modern military surplus store ONLY sells military surplus anymore. But your point is valid.
Xenarion
Ah, fair. I thought they did but I never shop there.
CorvidPrime
I realize this isn’t ACTUALLY related to the post, but it bugs me and this was an opportunity to share the story of the unaware ass-hats who only care about dumb things to “own the libs”.
DoubleSunMoonMoon
Its related-ish. Good enough logic for a bird.
JustKiddingOrAmI
"that flag is my heritage" "your heritage is the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment battle flag that got captured and lived in a museum in MN, strange heritage but ok dumbass"

Once had an in-law tell my wife after meeting me for the first time: “I don’t like him. He acts all educated and what-not…” Ignorance is celebrated by these people.
DutchGuyMike
Ignorance is celebrated by those at the top and those serving them, who laugh at our class and gender struggles, while they enable mucking up the world and ourselves.
JustKiddingOrAmI
That's ridiculous. If we gave those "uneducated" people 3/5 of a vote as retribution they'd probably think it was a good thing.
CorvidPrime
Well yeah! 3/5 is more than half! If you get more than half the vote, you win, right!? /s (I’m mostly mad because I could absolutely see these hillbilly yokles believing this)
