- 2:01Speaker 1: dropped on a clue's bomb for Family Dollar. Oh, family Dollar.
- 2:05Speaker 1: I remember when I was a delusional young lad who
- 2:08Speaker 1: actually thought things in Family dollar actually just cost a dollar. Okay,
- 2:11Speaker 1: I know in twenty twenty three that's not the case
- 2:13Speaker 1: with inflation. They should update the name of the thought
- 2:15Speaker 1: of family dollars. Okay, But Dinitia's a Family Dollar employee
- 2:19Speaker 1: who was recently disciplined for excessive six days six days. Now, listen,
- 2:27Speaker 1: you know all employees, you know, I hear that. If
- 2:31Speaker 1: I heard that from an employee right now, I wouldn't
- 2:32Speaker 1: bother me. You know, it wouldn't bother me because we
- 2:34Speaker 1: know which all types of stuff going around, rs V, flu, covid. Okay,
- 2:39Speaker 1: COVID got so many remixes, you would think all Kelly
- 2:41Speaker 1: was home all right, Like folks is sick and don't
- 2:43Speaker 1: even know why they're sick. I know people close to
- 2:45Speaker 1: me who over the holidays was sick and you know,
- 2:48Speaker 1: tested for COVID and tested for flu and it came
- 2:50Speaker 1: back negative. But the doctor told them they was getting
- 2:53Speaker 1: over something and they don't even know what this something was.
- 2:55Speaker 1: So for her to use success for six days, I
- 2:57Speaker 1: don't see the problem. Okay, Not to mention we don't
- 3:00Speaker 1: know what this young woman is dealing with. She may
- 3:02Speaker 1: be dealing with something way worse than any of those
- 3:04Speaker 1: things I just mentioned. Okay, and clearly she is, because
- 3:08Speaker 1: I have to tell you this story, right. The manager
- 3:10Speaker 1: of a family Dollar said that Dinesia sent her a
- 3:12Speaker 1: text message saying she wasn't coming to work because she
- 3:15Speaker 1: was sick. Fair, the manager said, after she told holiday
- 3:19Speaker 1: she was being removed from the schedule for calling in
- 3:22Speaker 1: sick too much. How do you tell somebody they call
- 3:24Speaker 1: it in sick too much? You don't know if that
- 3:25Speaker 1: person sick or not. But after the manager told Donesia that,
- 3:28Speaker 1: what do you think Donesia did envy? Just guess Memphis.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Her name is Donesia. What do you think she called
- 3:35Speaker 1: out sick again? Nope, but she came into work. But
- 3:37Speaker 1: when she came into work, she showed up after business
- 3:40Speaker 1: with a pistol okay, a gun? All right? Oh, that
- 3:44Speaker 1: makes sure all your kids won't grow. I don't know
- 3:47Speaker 1: if it was a fourth fall. I just found like
- 3:48Speaker 1: quoting too Papa. By the way, that's one of the
- 3:50Speaker 1: most toxic lines ever. My four for make sure all
- 3:52Speaker 1: your kids won't grow. But the store manager said Donisia
- 3:55Speaker 1: pulled the gun out of her right pocket, pointed it
- 3:58Speaker 1: at her, and waved it around. Police there were three
- 4:00Speaker 1: other employees there and customers at the register when it happened.
- 4:03Speaker 1: The victim said, Holiday put the gun back in her
- 4:05Speaker 1: pocket and threw a staple at her before another employee
- 4:08Speaker 1: escorted or out the store. That employee had to be
- 4:10Speaker 1: Dinesia's friend, because it ain't no way, Okay, I see
- 4:13Speaker 1: someone mad with a gun, I'm running and exactly I'm
- 4:17Speaker 1: escort them out the store. Come on, man, especially, ain't no,
- 4:21Speaker 1: Ain't nobody doing that if they're not your friend, because
- 4:23Speaker 1: they ain't no regular Family Dollar employee doing that. Family
- 4:26Speaker 1: Dollar ain't dying for you. In fact, if you work
- 4:28Speaker 1: in Family Dollar and you get killed in Family Dollar,
- 4:30Speaker 1: I have a feeling the corporation, the Family Dollar gonna
- 4:32Speaker 1: start to go fund me for your funeral now. The
- 4:34Speaker 1: manager of Family Dollar said that Dionesia threatened to shoot
- 4:37Speaker 1: up her vehicle before leaving. Police said Donicia was taking
- 4:40Speaker 1: into custody on Thursday and admitted to being armed with
- 4:43Speaker 1: a gun when she came to the Family Dollar, but
- 4:45Speaker 1: she told investigators that she had the gun because she
- 4:47Speaker 1: wanted to be prepared and took it out of her
- 4:49Speaker 1: pocket to adjust it in her hoster. Look, man, it's
- 4:54Speaker 1: a tough time in Memphis right now. Okay, Gangster bo
- 4:56Speaker 1: just passed folks on edge. All right, but my people,
- 4:59Speaker 1: my people, with my people. If you work in family dollar,
- 5:02Speaker 1: you know you can't afford to have an aggravated assaulting
- 5:05Speaker 1: three counter reckless endangerment charge. Her bond has been said
- 5:08Speaker 1: at ten thousand dollars. I know she don't have that money,
- 5:10Speaker 1: but the reality is none of us do. Okay, none
- 5:13Speaker 1: of us can afford that have those kind of charges.
- 5:15Speaker 1: None of us need to have those problems. And I
- 5:17Speaker 1: don't understand why we don't think about those things before
- 5:21Speaker 1: we make those kinds of decisions. Okay, life is about choices,
- 5:24Speaker 1: but there's something that has happened to us over the
- 5:28Speaker 1: last couple of years that is causing people to snap
- 5:31Speaker 1: and make the poorest of choices. And if we don't
- 5:34Speaker 1: start providing these people with the resources they need to
- 5:37Speaker 1: survive and thrive out here, God help us all. Please
- 5:41Speaker 1: give Dnicia Holiday to Sweechhouns and the Hambletones. Oh now
