For any reason that isn't specifically a protected class*

Although in practice that just means if they want to fire you for discriminatory reasons, they just don't give a reason.

Frankly I've not met someone who's worked in retail in the last 15 years who's said they had a different policy. Even a cart full of shit is cheaper to pay for than the potential lawsuits from an employee getting hurt from trying to intervene.

Beyond that though, please don't put your life at risk for your employers merchandise. It is not yours. Your store carries insurance for a reason. Your life is not worth any of that shit.

Every episode of house is basically

Patient gets sick
House is wrong at first
Everyone is wrong for a while
They think they're right, but they're wrong
House has a random epiphany, steals $50 from Wilson, and saves the patient

I think the issue with point 2 is that most of the people doing the work know that, but the people making decisions tend to not. We've seen time and time again that companies will absolutely ruin their future prospects for short terms profits. This isn't going to be an exception, and a lot of people that the companies can't actually afford to lose are going to get laid off.

He neglected to do anything through proper channels, and instead betrayed his country rather than try to fix the problems through whistle blower channels where he would have actually had legal and tangible protections.

I'm not going to pretend he wasn't reckless as fuck but don't pretend for even a moment that "going through the proper channels" would have gotten him anything that even halfway resembled a fair trial.

My friends base model kia soul from 2013 has less issues with gaps in the body and awful craftsmanship with regards to interior trim than the two model 3s that are in my family. The same has been true for quite literally every car I've ever owned, and I've owned real pieces of shit. It's also been in the shop less despite having been around an extra 7 years.

Anyone buying a Tesla at this point either knows they're buying a shit car purely for the status symbol, or they're a rube. Fools and their money and all that

At least there's a reason for McDonald's ice cream machines not working, even if it is blatant and disgusting corporate greed from Taylor Company.
