Stand Up for What's Right!

Let me just say first and foremost, you must go to the linked video on myfoxdallas, it's just stunning how awesome the clerk was during this whole event. On the other hand, the 2nd pizza store clerk I'm not so sure was very wise in her actions. The male clerk is a hero and the owner should definitely give him a raise and do whatever to keep him working there. When an employee takes to heart the place in which he works that much, he should be rewarded and if I were the owner I would do so much to keep that employee.

Now on to the actual event, there were four American citizens involved in stopping this armed robber from getting what he wanted and instead getting justice! All four of the people involved are heros, with the beginning and bravest actions coming from the store clerk himself. This is the way Americans should act and how the justice system can be fully carried out, citizen action. When citizens take it upon themselves to help with law enforcement, not necessarily becoming cops or trying to take justice into their own hands, but rather collectivly working to solve an issue/crime. The people who followed the wouldbe-robber did their part, as did the clerk and the witness who ran after the man. The second clerk however, what was she thinking? Why did she retrain the other clerk from knocking the robber out fully and giving him something to remember him by as well? I am sure the male clerk would have tied up the man after beating him senseless and then there would have been no need for a chase.

Lastly, I would just like to call to your mind the incident that happened a few years ago when another store employee, somewhere in the U.S., fought back against robbers and was then fired by his company for not "following proper procedure" . Well to those managers/owners, get a clue! What if your employee was giving out money for no reason, ok fire him for that, but not for saving your company and its investments. I hope the same doesn't happen to this great pizza store clerk, cheers and I wish you the best clerk, you are a true American and a hero for your town/company.
Here's two slices of cheese for you!
