We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I share the fault. I probably should start a new thread to discuss this. I mentioned it tangentially and southernboy took me up on it.

Went to NAPA today
Talked to the boys at NAPA, King George, about the AutoZone debacle. They got a good laugh when I told them I was sending a copy of the $110 receipt to AutoZone with an explanation. (Got complimented on the OC S&W439 in a Galco.)

This story has been picked up nationally (at least by Fox). Hopefully some pressure will start building against Auto Zone's corporate actions, but as of right now they aren't budging.
Fox News has some more details than were in the originally posted story. http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/autozone-fires-worker-who-stopped-robbery.html

Protest coming
From Va-Alert of 12/4
THE PROTESTS
VCDL will hold a protest at 3 different Autozone locations in the next couple of weeks: Yorktown, Colonial Heights (regional manager's location), and Hopewell. VCDL will get some signs printed up for protesters to hold while standing in front of the stores. Our goal will be to inform the public about Autozone's shameful treatment of a hero, putting policy before the safety of customers and workers.
*** Once the dates for the protests have been set, I will advise you here in VA-ALERT so you can participate ***

What if----the former employee was really in on the robbery as an insider and did what he did to deceive? Now I've Got no evidence of this just thinking "what if".

Than Danny Diggs who is probably the sharpest law enforcement official in the state....probably wouldn't have called him a hero.

What if the manager was behind it?
What if there had been another armed BG just outside the door?
What if you had been there?
What if Danny Diggs were not the Sheriff there?
Frankly, I hate "what if" scenarious except for legitimate training purposes and yes as a mental exercise in so included.
Please don't take any of this personally. You were just free thinking so I did the same. (*presently slapping my hand*)

Nope, too late! I already did take it personally.... NOT!
I am fairly certain the investigators of the incident did not do a thorough investigation if they didn't include this as a possibility. Carry on!

You're right. I doubt they didn't do any investigation. I think this fellow had robbed around 30 businesses and I'll bet the Autozone employee was the mastermind in each one.

But, but.......what if the butler did it?
The auto zone employee's actions appears to have contributed to ending that crime spree. He was in the right place at the right time and took corrective action.

Now now, we should not paint a group too broadly. By "protesting" in front of various stores we are "implying" that the management in those stores, and by extension their lowly-defenseless-expendable-drone employees, agree with the policy of corporate. We here on OCDO do not condone the painting of a group, typically referred to as "bashing."

Some were humorous ... maybe meant as such....anyway I need a new battery and I won't be going to auto zone!
Well I am.
I know the Managers at the two stores I use and I want them to tell the District Manager why I went to NAPA.
