      I’m pretty sure it’s already corporate policy to not question people abour fake bills or do anything to stop shoplifters (because insured and liability). Wouldn’t be surprised if a new corporate policy crops up if something like that does happen

        Can confirm… store manager.

        I joke that our policy for shoplifters is to offer them a bag.

        In reality it’s to offer them a cart as a non accusatory way of saying “I see you”

        As for bills I had my boss suggest I take them to the bank. I had to clarify “and I tell them I believe there is a counterfeit in there… Right … Otherwise it’s dangerously close to trying to pass a counterfeit myself… A felony…”

        He paused and answered “sure if that makes you more comfortable”

        To be clear I understand and agree with a lot of it. Why should I ask my workers to risk their life over some toothpaste? Why should I ask them to risk their life confronting a counterfeiter who is already done commiting felonies.

        I also understand it doesn’t help the company. One dead worker will cost the company more than all the product a person could steal. Even with insurance the cost of training even a cashier is nearly $1000. It goes up from there.

        It is still frustrating and my employees often take a lot of training to convince them not to care if someone is stealing.

        And customers also get frustrated when they tell me someone is stealing and I give them an answer like "that’s unfortunate " and go back to work.

          and I give them an answer like "that’s unfortunate "

          You might want to also let them know that “we’re insured for this” and that “nobody is going to lose their job over this, so let’s not lose our heads, either.”

          Also, it’ll go a long way to acknowledge how unfair it is that an employee doing the same thing is completely different.

      There isn’t actually any citation for this, there is however a bunch of articles written pointing to the red tape around reward money and saying “maybe” he wont be paid. But so far I havnt seen anything that shows this as more than conjecture

      Also this snitch not being paid would be the dumbest fucking move imaginable if their goal is to have murdering Capitalists not be the new trend.

        both the arrest and conviction of the suspect

        Makes perfect sense, but that’s just a matter of time.

        might not be eligible for [the NYPD] part of the reward.

        OK, so maybe they won’t be getting 10k of the 60k. They would still get 50k if he’s convicted. So many people are definitively saying that they’re getting none of the money, and that makes no sense.

          The tip didn’t contribute to conviction, only the arrest. The words “both” and “and” rather than “consequent” are explicit.

          Because they didn’t read any of the sources and just heard about the NYPD requirement that they call the tip line, which they didn’t do, so unless there’s some major backlash, they definitely won’t be getting $10,000 of the reward.

          The other $50,000 from the FBI we’re all kinda assuming will have some other reason to not be paid out, but if we’re being honest, if the 1% want us to continue turning on each other in the future, they’re gonna have to let these high profile snitching cases go through.

        Its pure conjecture, there is no one saying they wont be paid, just some “journalists” saying maybe he wont be paid.

        Maybe this might be one of those cases where fuck the truth of the matter, we should just spread this conjecture as truth. Snitches should imagine stitches not riches.

        https://kpel965.com/mcdonalds-employee-may-not-get-60000-reward-for-tipping-off-police-about-luigi-mangione/

        This one was posted further up. The tl;dr is that because they didn’t call the NYPD tip line, they definitely* won’t get the $10,000 from them, barring major backlash that may make them walk that back.

        The $50,000 from the FBI is up in the air, but is dependent on him getting convicted. There’s some wording that someone else pointed to about the tip needing to lead to an arrest AND conviction, saying that because the tip itself only lead to the arrest, they won’t be paid, but I’m uncertain about that.

        I mentioned in another comment that if the 1% want us to keep snitching, these high profile situations kinda need to pay out.

        That’s why everyone who cares needs to spread the word.

        People don’t need to care. They might share it as a fun factoid, they might just say that’s crazy and never think about it again

        Until they’re in a position to get a reward… They’ll care then. That little idea they heard in passing will pop up… Maybe it gives them pause.

        $10k is pretty tempting for a lot of people…a chance at a $10k reward they’ve heard rarely is paid out is a lot less tempting

        Maybe they Google it first, maybe they think twice about if the crime is worth reporting. Maybe they see the world in black and white and believe it to be their duty

        It’s worth spreading some information, even to people that don’t care

          The original is delay, deny, defend.

          The one that was on the cartridge casing when the CEO was terminated was, delay, deny, depose.

          The act of deposing a person, by one definition is to “remove from office suddenly and forcefully”

          IMO, that’s the meaning behind the use of “depose” here.

          There’s also legal depositions which are a very different thing entirely. From what I’ve heard, Luigi had a lot of experience with delay and deny. I dunno how much of what I’ve heard is true, and how much is just a game of telephone gone wrong.

              The problem is that the first reports of what was written on the casings was wrong, and later corrections are mixed in with the original misreported text.

              So there’s a lot of misunderstandings about what they said.

              I’m not saying my information is 100% accurate; but I’m not willing to wade through the neverending sea of news articles that care more about clicks than accuracy to figure it out.

              In any case, good luck and have a good day!

          Historically it’s been threats to the owner / controller class that have produced serious gun control legislation in the US, so you are probably right! But if you mean actual confiscation a la Australia, pretty sure that’s off the table here. Sincerely think it’d spark a war no matter who sincerely attempts it or why.

            Federally legal. I didn’t realize it but like 14 states outlaw them and others have prohibitions on parts of them. Honestly, I’m impressed it didn’t break. The idea of making one makes me nervous over safety. I haven’t even been brave enough to print a stock or foreguard simply out of concern. I also don’t trust aluminum casings (if a shell splits it’s likely damaging the barrel or receiver).

        First of all Reddit is responsible because they created and actively allow moderators to act the way they do. They perpetuate the fantasy that mods are all powerful and Reddit admins hands are tied when a person is targeted by a mod.

        Second the person worked there so it’s extremely ironic a slave wagee ratted on a person that was targeting corporate inequality and they denied her the payout.

        Then what criteria do you judge a platform based off of? A large part of why I left Reddit was because of the mods…? And the company can certainly do stuff to fix that, but refuse to because money. So if that’s not the case, then I assume you mean the actual structure and layout of Reddit.

        And parent comment is saying the employee is a class traitor. Not the, physical structure and layout of the building? The physical building itself didn’t rat, because physical buildings aren’t sentient.

        Your analogy is absolute dog shit.

      Too many people forget this part. Luigi Mangione is, until proven otherwise, innocent. The police, the same people who have spent decades killing them people (especially minorities) and planting evidence, largely with impunity, are alleging that he is the one who did it. Luigi is likely a victim of the health insurance industry but, until it is proven otherwise, he and the shooter are two separate individuals.

      People with a lot of wealth and power want to put a bow on this to prevent more frustration from being directed at them.

    …and all that came of the whole affair was a bunch of bad reviews for a McDonald’s, which were promptly deleted by the corporation controlling all data.

      No, there was a lot more that came of this (unless you’re specifically referencing the snitching part).

      • It’s made business execs afraid.
      • It’s shown the working class how to have solidarity.
      • It’s been a rallying cry for how much the people hare the current system.
      • It’s given us a martyr.
      • It’s taught the would be school shooters that they’ll get lots of positive attention for redirecting their targets towards those deserving. They’ll get labeled a folk hero, they’ll have people trying to send them money for their legal defense fund, they’ll get their name in the history books. They’ll get everything they ever wanted out of their act of violence.

      And I’m sure there’s more.

        I never even thought of that. No more Columbines? Just more Luigis?

          I wouldn’t go so far to say that there won’t be any more school shootings. A school shootings is comparatively easy. Their locations are static, publicly available. There are many potential victims, and so on.

          With that said, some may opt for the slightly higher difficulty of biz execs for the reasons I’ve listed.

        Is his martydom trending on “common” social media like TikTok, YT, Facebook, Discord, big podcasts and such?

        Lemmy (and even Twitter and Reddit) are rather niche and not necessarily reaching the larger public, aka this pool of working class folk.

          I can’t speak for all of them, but I can explain the vibes:

          • TikTok/Insta - 100% worshipping Luigi en masse
          • Discord - None of the ones I’m in, though I mostly stick to small friend groups I know IRL. I’d be shocked if there aren’t servers praising him as a hero

          I can’t speak to the rest.

          It definitely seems to be yeah, given the number of reposted tiktoks I’ve seen, and the facebook unitedhealthgroup laughing emoji ratio, and all the videos that corporate media are clutching their pearls over. There are tons of comments in Ben Shapiro’s videos on the subject that are cheering on the death of a CEO, despite his attempt to paint this as only the “violent left”. When Ben Shapiro’s viewers disagree with him you know the feeling is widespread lol.

            Very interesting.

            And some of the “small” news outlets in my feed are starting to sympathetically acknowledge it as well.

        I think that user above you was implying more should be done about the McDonalds, which is pretty ironic given the context.

        For now. However I’m sure they have plans in the works for all sorts of similar heinous and hateful policy changes.

        Coincidentally, unrelated, happenstance fact - you can gain the ability to attend shareholder meetings by purchasing a certain amount of shares - each company sets their own level.

        Y’know, exactly like the meeting Brian was on his way to that December morning.…

          ohh wow, look at that!

          i guess they really do think peasants don’t know how to use common sense and online search, i am sure Securitas and G4S clowns charging a fat fee for this advise too. Classic capitalism strikes again.

          does it actually make these parasites any safer?

          no way to tell really…

      I’ve already heard a bunch of stories of insurance companies approving procedures they denied the day before.

      This probably saved a bunch of lives.

      Well the employee was also fired and their life ruined, and it’s still early.

        I can’t find anything that mentions they were fired. Do you have a source for that? That would be super messed up.

          Well I have it from the statements of the woman herself and the somewhat open gossip now of central PA.

          I could try to pull sources but I’m not sure what I could provide that would be considered respectable enough for this community.

          I think she was just put on leave but if you are a part time worker on leave without pay it sure looks like being fired even if on a technicality they can say she wasn’t fired yet. I dunno she’s acting like she was fucked over and I believe it when she thought she would get a bunch of money and be a hero.

          I don’t have sources that talk about people shitting on cars at the McDonald’s but that’s happening too.

          Being fired? For being a distraction from the work that McDonald’s wants to occur without people associating it with class warfare.

          Honestly it’s probably the manager reacting poorly and once it goes further up the ladder and there is more and more backlash they will turn back on these decisions same as the reward money if they are smart though I think the 10,000 is officially off the table since that was a private 3rd party and the 50,000 will likely be a fraction of that at best.

          Any kind of change from norm gets blamed on whoever they think caused it. And it hits wide and usually the innocent just as much.

              That’s fair and I respect your time enough to not post sources that amount to Facebook posts and texts from others that live there.

              I will say it shouldn’t come as such a stretch that a system that believes in those that interrupt the flow of money as villains no matter the reasons for it from protests to victims of bullying would mistreat an old lady who was hoping to get more out of her existence by being good for it.

              So meet my statements with skepticism absolutely! But I implore you to treat as “what if true” rather than “what if false”.
