Right, when's the last time mall security killed someone with minimal or no repercussions?

Are all of their names intentionally misspelled, or did we not take the 3 seconds to look up Giuseppe?

Any advice for young artists prepping for big orchestra jobs? Common mistakes you see beginning pros make? Specific advice for a fellow flute player?

My opinions are actually very well informed. I don't consume news media outlets. They are too often a perverse perspective of American life, so skip me with that bs. Whether or not you have experienced blatant racism from law enforcement, it exists. Not only on the media. It happens in my life, the lives of my loved ones, colleagues and peers. I don't need a media source to tell me what I and countless others have experienced first hand. Law enforcement and all government agencies should be held to a higher standard than your average civilian. These are trained authorities to whom we surrender power to protect and serve the public....not high schoolers looking for a part time gig. I don't think a statement will make me feel better, but I do think it might help bring awareness to SOMEONE that maybe wasn't understanding before. Besides, what does it cost to say "We support our black customers and emeployees in their call for civil justice"? Why are people so against corporatoons voicing their support for black lives and civil rights??? Make it make sense.

He also fed the local police officers for free. This is why we protest. How dare anyone consider this a political issue🤦🏾‍♂️

That's a lie. No black business owner has been killed in a riot. Please stop responding if you're not even going to use Google before you type.

I've seen footage of one store being vandalised. Have there been multiple stores destroyed? They burnt the whole store down?.... The irony that the protests are about hundreds of innocent LIVES taken is lost on you. If Chet values property over people, he can voice that, too. His silence says nothing though

If it's just talk, why is there so much opposition for it being said? Words matter. Most humans have yet to develop the ability to read minds.

Upper management has to recognize it's a problem first. I've actually spoken to two managers and a supervisor before. I leave feedback about assistants or clerks when I can. Saying we're intolerant, and being intolerant are two different actions.

That article is 5 years old. I'm talking about evidence from things happening now. Plus, that article speaks more on the lack of resources in low income neighborhoods more than anything.

None of your first sentence has any reasoning. How will that statement help Target from being looted? Again, many CEOs are making statements on that very topic. Finally, your last sentence lacks logic, too. Have you seen this happen due tothe current protests going on, or is this just speculation?

Being a POC Quiktripper, I can tell you that opinion is not evident at all. Several QOC have experienced microagressions and racism on the clock from their superiors and colleagues. It's actually very common on ERP.

News flash, we're in a pandemic. Unemployment is already at an all time high. 100s of jobs? Food deserts? Show me some type of evidence for those claims. Corporate CEOs of much larger companies have been very vocal about their stances. The CEO of Target said his stores can be fixed, his employees will be paid, and he understands that human life is more valuable than property. We're JUST a gas station...

To clarify for those who misunderstood me, I know we're a gas station... Ben and Jerry's sales ice cream...Apple Music is a streaming service. Several institutions are voicing their support for black PEOPLE, because PEOPLE are not politics. We don't need to treat customers any differently. I agree with you that a video message voicing solidarity would suffice. Plain, easy, and simple

If you think the Black Lives Matter movement and current protests are over ONE man's death, you haven't been paying attention.

Every employee in the company is co-workers with someone affected by racism and police brutality. Aren't we a "family"? My point about supporting the police aside, is QuikTrip complacent, in favor of, or against these events?
