Latest / Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show! / WOKE Lululemon Fires 2 Staff Members For Calling Police On Thieves
Transcript
- 0:00Well, in further news on the decline of Western civilization, we have the
- 0:04latest date Insane at Corporate Wokeness. Here's the headline, Lulu Lemon employees fired
- 0:09after confronting thieves. Now, obviously this says something about the state of corporate
- 0:14culture, about the state of Western civilization in general, and we're going to
- 0:18get to that, but first let's just go over the details that two women
- 0:22say they were fired by Lulu Lemon after trying to stop thieves ransacking an Atlanta
- 0:27area store and calling police to report the robbery last month. The former employees,
- 0:34Rachel Rogers and Jennifer Ferguson, said they were told they violated the Athleisure
- 0:39companies zerotolerance policy upon being let go in the weeks that followed the incident.
- 0:45So apparently they don't have a zero tolerance policy towards theft in their stores,
- 0:51just towards the staff trying to stop theft. And you may think to yourself,
- 0:55well, why does the staff care. It's not their product, they
- 0:58don't have to pay for it. But we have seen what happens when this
- 1:02stuff goes unchecked, and what happens is the job goes away, the store
- 1:07goes away. And I think as well that people just have a sense when
- 1:11they see chaos, and that's what we're talking about here. These there's the
- 1:15constant theft, having to watch people just fill up bags and walk out.
- 1:19That represents chaos, that represents a kind of a falling apart, that there's
- 1:23no authority, and you know, there's an inherent unfairness to it, and
- 1:27that you have to work to buy things and then you just have to watch
- 1:30somebody just steal, just take. It's really it should be enough to disquiet
- 1:34and piss people off. It's not surprising that people would want to try and
- 1:38prevent it. Now there is video of this. Let's take a look.
- 1:44No no, no, no, no ye could you heard their car?
- 2:13But I don't point, so that's it. They just said get out.
- 2:15They didn't tackle them, Nobody pulled out in a R fifteen. They just
- 2:21expressed their displeasure with what they were doing and then they called the police.
- 2:24And that's enough. That's enough to get you fired. It really does seem
- 2:28like the world is upside down, is it not, and becoming more and
- 2:31more upside down every day. Quote, we are not supposed to get in
- 2:36the way. You kind of clear a path for whatever they're going to do,
- 2:39Ferguson said, and then after it's over, you scan a QR code
- 2:45and that's it. We've been told not to put in any notes because that
- 2:49might scare other people. We're not supposed to call the police, not really
- 2:53supposed to talk about it. Why wouldn't you call the police? I mean,
- 2:57I could understand an argument with saying, well, we don't want you
- 2:59to put yourself in danger while it's happening. We don't want our staff getting
- 3:02shot, we don't want our customers getting shot, because you don't know what
- 3:06could happen. Not that they did anything crazy in this video anyway. They
- 3:09just said just get up. They just told them to get out. And
- 3:13I do think trying to stop people in the midst of a crime is actually
- 3:16a noble thing to do. But in any case, why wouldn't you be
- 3:20able to call the police after That's the part that's really baffling to me,
- 3:24because you're just going to have your brand be known as a brand that you
- 3:29can just steal. You can just take their stuff and nothing's going to happen.
- 3:34That seems insane to me, But a lot of corporations seem to be
- 3:37in the business of being insane these days. How about this billion dollars Lulu
- 3:42Lemon under fire for promoting resist capitalism event. In fact, I think I
- 3:46actually did a video on this a couple of years ago. It's just so
- 3:50absurd. Lets see, they're facing vigorous criticism for promoting a of course,
- 3:55of course, a yoga workshop build as an opportunity to resist capitalism. I
- 4:01did do a video on this, a yoga workshop build as an opportunity to
- 4:06resist capitalism. How much more dumb virtue signaling middle class liberal can you get.
- 4:14That's almost as bad as voting for Trudeau. But in any case,
- 4:16they didn't lose their jobs. In Vain. Police arrested these shoplifters the following
- 4:20day as they attempted yet another robbery, and they were charged with multiple felonies.
- 4:26Although you know, let's get real here, probably still nothing will happen
- 4:29to them, and maybe, hey, Western civilization isn't going to burn itself
- 4:31to the ground. It needs all the help from woke corporations that can get
- 4:36and make no mistake, there is something foundational about this stuff, because for
- 4:41a society for healthy liberal democracy to work. You know, the whole of
- 4:45society kind of has to buy into it. It has to care about sustaining
- 4:48it. It has to care about the values that have sustained it over time.
- 4:53And one of those values well, individual rights, equality under the law,
- 4:57merit, private property rights, you know, all the things that the
- 5:00modern left hates, all the things that are under a relentless assault. It's
- 5:04just we're really starting to see the fruits of their labor now, aren't we.
- 5:08And what are those fruits? Low trust society, lawlessness, chaos,
- 5:12an increase in poverty, crumbling infrastructure, crumbling education, all the stuff you'd
- 5:17like to see if you're trying to burn down your civilization. But hey,
- 5:20I'm not giving you a black pill here. I'm actually very hopeful this stuff
- 5:25can't sustain itself. I think that weakness will destroy itself before it's able to
- 5:29destroy a country like the United States. Europe. Forget about Europe. Europe's
- 5:32gone. But the US, Canada I think they can be saved anyway,
- 5:36you know, And if it costs US bud Light and Target and Lulu Lemon,
- 5:42I think that's a price worth paying anyway. Please subscribe, link and
- 5:45share. Sharing It really helps me out. I thank you for that.
