Night-shift worker watches a drunk man yell at a new hire. Then the man allegedly exposes himself and urinates on the employee: ‘Won’t be coming back’
From night shift to nightmare shift.
People who have worked in retail know that every shift can be filled with surprises. You don’t know what kind of customers or requests you’ll have to handle, and that has resulted in an entire subreddit called retail hell being created for people to share their negative experiences and vent.
One story from user Massive_Goat9582 details an experience where he said he witnessed the most justified instance of a new employee quitting on the spot.
Since this is a story from Reddit, it should be taken with a grain of salt, as Reddit has a reputation for not always having honest stories and for having users post stories that seem AI-written for the sake of farming karma.
The Redditor tells a story about a customer peeing on a new employee
Massive_Goat9582’s story is short. He said that he walked in at the start of his shift and found the new employee being yelled at by a drunk customer because the employee apparently decided they wouldn’t sell the man alcohol, and they were sticking with that decision. The Redditor didn’t intervene immediately, but said that he was nearby in case the situation escalated.
According to his account of the event, the situation did escalate while he was present. The customer decided to expose himself and begin urinating on the new employee. The Redditor said that he tackled the customer so he would be face down on the floor, limiting the mess as much as possible in a way that the customer would be the most affected by his own urine, and told the other employee to call the police.
The Redditor ended his story by saying that the new employee said they won’t be coming back. He said in the title of the post that he didn’t blame them for quitting, and honestly, that does seem like a justified reason to quit.
The customer could face serious charges depending on the location
Laws can vary by place, but it’s possible that the customer in this story could at least be charged with public urination. In most cases, this would be a misdemeanor and could be punished with up to a year in jail, a fine, or community service, according to Criminal Defense Lawyer. If his intent is found to be lewd, then he could end up on the sex offender registry.
However, this particular case would be a bit interesting because it involves bodily fluids being put on somebody without their consent. As a result, it could be considered a criminal offense, according to Avvo. In that situation, it would likely be charged as assault, and that could result in it being a felony rather than a misdemeanor.
One commenter chimed in on a thread about charges for the customer with, “I think the charges stack, actually! Indecent exposure (bepis out in public), plus assault (obviously) with a biohazardous substance (an emphasis modifier to the base charge, pissing on someone is charged worse than if you were “merely” hitting them).”
Unfortunately, not enough information has been provided by the original poster to know what, if anything, the customer may have been charged with.
