That's nearly as much as I made before I retired. Be a great part-time job for retirees, even.
Have you ever heard of The Shooter's Grill in Rifle Colorado? It's become a tourist destination, people support it just because the servers all carry (I'm sure the skin tight short shorts help too).
Remember, OTHER employees held the same job, but were unarmed, and paid less than half that.Really? They're hiring armed employees, and paying them high wages, because they've been the target of a spate of robberies. Would you literally put your life on the line for $35/hr.? I wouldn't.
I definitely have a problem because the first thing I noticed was lack of safe gun handlingWell, I don't see any short shorts, but I have a feeling they're better looking than most here anyway, the ladies here excluded, of course.
Kind of lean along the routes from DFW to Tulsa, sadly (for this frequent QT customer).Quick Trips are all over Oklahoma
Not that it makes a difference, but I wonder if they carry them loaded or are they just a sales gimmick?
Why do you consider this unsafe?Speaking of unsafe gun handling she currently carries a Glock19 in a Serpa
This is what they are doing and I think it is a smart strategy. I hope all 2A supporters will understand that and support the company.The genius of this is that they don't have to hire very many. Make a big deal out of how you are hiring these guys, put a few on the payroll, and have the bad guys wondering if the store they attempt to jack will get them killed.
Some folk think that Serpa's aren't the best choice for a striker-fired gun without external/separate safety.Why do you consider this unsafe?

That sounds an unreasonable amount of stress after the incident, sorry you had to go through it.Have to speak up about "police unions".... My experience wasn't exactly a confidence builder...
When I started out in police work, the thought that I belonged to a union was comforting since there was always the possibility that I'd be needing them eventually. They did all of our collective bargaining every few years and were always available if you had a grievance but I was lucky enough not to need them until.... I ended up shooting and killing a young man one day on the job. The "victim's" family pitched quite a fuss since - if he was indeed killed in the commission of a felony - then his life insurance was null and void... The result was that instead of a quick ruling on justification from the state's attorney's office it was sent into an inquest situation that lasted for a few months... After watching quite a bit of perjury going on - all of it directed my way - I decided it would be a good idea to notify my union and ask for representation... Here's the exact words the union official that I spoke to told me... "Kid, you get indicted, you come see us..."
Not exactly what I was expecting at all... This was right at the beginning of the "cocaine cowboys" era down here in south Florida and officers were being indicted on the flimsiest grounds (almost all of the various officers charged were never convicted while their reputations were ruined.). Some should have been convicted of one thing or another but many were simply indicted so that the state's attorney back then could gain a reputation as a strong state's attorney during a corrupt era....
I made it through the inquest - all six months worth (hearings every month or so...) and the shooting was ruled justified. What saved me was our own investigators that clearly showed exactly what the true circumstances were... None of the various "witnesses" were ever charged with perjury either -although there was prima facie evidence for anyone that looked at it...
The big reason that police officers fare better in shooting situations than an ordinary citizen (if you believe that - I don't -since they're not only being looked at criminally - but also civilly - and their job is on the line with even the slightest misuse of force or violation of department policy...) is that there are laws on the books that not only require them to act -but also tie them to the agency they work for. In short, if you're within the law and you're acting within the rules and regulations of the agency you work for... then they must defend you since it's their insurance and financial well-being that's on the line... If you work for a private company there's a much different situation - and certainly a different situation if you're hurt on the job...
Years later when I was on the management side of things I saw more than one situation where the union gave advice to an officer that was clearly intended to benefit the union - not the officer...
What I've just spoken about is only one of the reasons that after I retired out of police work - I have never carried a sidearm even once since then and it's been 23 years now...
Why do you consider this unsafe?
This is a company using the right guaranteed by the 2a to protect their property, employees and costumers.
They carry them loaded. The Blonde (now a brunette) in the middle owns the restaurant. She requires her employees to pass an NRA certified CHP class before carrying on the clock.
According to her it didn't start out as a gimmick. Shortly after she opened the restaurant someone was beaten to death in the alley behind the restaurant. She got scared and started carrying at work, her wait staff asked if the could carry at work and she agreed with the CHP caveat.
