This strip is in reference to Walmart firing four employees for disarming a shoplifter when he pulled a gun on them in a security office. It happened in February 2011.
Yeah, “for the safety of everyone,” they were supposed to just throw their hands up and let him shoot whoever he damn well pleased. No joke – that’s what was said, even though the police said they’d done everything right. Norm even posted a blog on the comic’s site at that time about how crazy it was, then worked it into this comic.
This is still happening. Last week 2 employees called 911 to report thieves and got fired for it. It’s as if the corporate office wants the stores to be robbed!
Yeah right. Like Walmart has a security team.
