      This is also in a tourist area. Can you imagine them being yelled at by a customer and them having to just take it?

        Would love to yell at these losers for poor service, then double down and yell at them for creating such a shitty community environment that no one wants to work in the area, then triple down and attack them all personally for driving hardworking folks out of the area after they try to talk back.

    Clearly we love to see it folks.

    But I'm waiting for the day when some states make it "illegal" to do a walk out like this, vaguely claiming it's an issue of "safety" to the public.

      You never see police do household chores for people who are too swamped with work to have any time for it, but here we see cops working on the public's dime to make sure a fucking hotel doesn't lose too much profit when those overworked employees decide to do something about. Perfect encapsulation of the purpose of police under capitalism.

        Funny enough, I think if this becomes the norm, it would actually make a LOT of cops quit. Long, shitty hours? Most of the day is incredibly boring? All worth it for the times that they get to have a power trip and kill some guys. But actually having to be a worker? That crosses the line.

          idk if I could pull a gun on hostile/abusive customers I would definitely hate my job less. They're still afforded all the privilege and power that comes with being a cop.

            The future line will be "Don't yell at customer service! You never know when it's cops filling in after the staff walked out."

              I mean if we're going to take the concept of policing in capitalism to its logical conclusion we would just deputize cashiers, but then you have an armed workforce and that means :cool-zone:

        The cops are being scabs, consistent with their role as class traitors.

      Cops in America are the default emergency backup labor when a business is understaffed, under duress, or actively falling apart. Cops are the bandaid used for literally all ailments. This is because America is very functional and regular. Looks like in this instance the piggies were asked to be hotel administration.

      I've also seen cops do stuff like bag groceries or in very normal circumstances, act as substitute teachers. This gives the illusion pigs are good for anything.

    I'd pull the grandpa simpson turn around and leave if I was supposed to be staying there.
