Dollar General review: Abuse of power. Intimidation. Wrongful termination.

My name is David Purdy and I’m an associate at store 30900 in Sawyer, Michigan. I was fired today from a co-employee key carrier. The facts that follow will reflect a wrongful termination, a total abuse of power, unfortunately coupled by an act of intimidation. The actions of the girl that fired me are completely out of line as she has absolutely no authority to hire or fire anyone. The girl that fired me acted in a manner meant to scare and intimidate me. All of these unacceptable actions were taken and she had no regard for me, or the regular customer I was dealing with. Kareen, the girl that announced I was fired was so righteously high on power she didn’t care of ask what the situation I was dealing with was. She isn’t a manager but she was confused and high on power. The following facts are truly horrific, but the are true and accurate.

The customer I was speaking with is a regular customer, who was in a true life or death situation. This customer is a heroin addict who was going into withdrawal right in front of me. I’m not at all ashamed to admit I’m a recovering heroin addict-14 years sober.. Every other employee is 100% aware of this as I’ve never avoided this fact and I try to help anyone/everyone I can. The video will reflect I identified the fact he was in critical crisis, I asked him to step aside as I was at the register. I was trying to take care of the people in line and at the same time giving this young man in critical crisis direction on what he needed to do to get off heroin. I WAS TRYING TO SAVE THIS YOUNG MAN FROM LEAVING THE STORE TO SHOOT HEROIN-I WAS ATTEMPTING TO SAVE HIS LIFE. The video will reflect all this took place while other employees watched, and did nothing to help the situation, and customers were there! Kareen was so determined, tunnel visioned to make her demanding, unwarranted, threatening statements over and over again.
I’m suggesting corporate review and USE THIS TAPE TO TRAIN FUTURE EMPLOYEES OF ALL AGES AND POSITIONS WHAT NOT TO DO IN LIFE OR DEATH SITUATIONS!

The young man was scared out of his wits, and unfortunately bolted before police arrived. I pray for him. I pray he doesn’t die.

This matter being so serious my attorneys have directed to make a formal statement at the police station.
