Another case where a good guy with a gun works against a bad guy without a gun. Apart from the fact that a single employee working a midnight shift in any store is basically rolling the dice every night I wonder what kind of store item 711 suggests she should have used instead. A can of soup maybe. You'd think the charges laid against the perp should be a free pass for her. On the bright side. Gas is only $2.37 a gallon.
I remember a story from years ago in Quebec where a 17 year old girl was murdered by 2 robbers while she was working the overnight at a gas station. What parent would allow that?
I am always surprised when I see clerks working in all night stores by themselves. Kind of shows a complete disregard by the owners. Similar stories all the time. I remember one in Burnaby years ago. Robbed an all-night clerk at a Chevron station. Made him liie down on the floor and shot him in the back of the head. For small change. Never caught the perps.
Some of these shops don't even have cameras in them. At least now they shut the doors at 11pm and only the clerk has access but how much more would it cost to have a second employee there.
I do not know, but maybe it is the job of the Police, not the store owners, to prevent crime? It does not take much to extend this logic to say "kind of shows a complete disregard by women who decide to walk on the street in mini-shorts and tight t-shirts".
Your logic. Not mine. So, your logic says a minimum wage employee who takes a night shift at a 711 or other risky enterprise is responsible for inviting the risks on herself and that a girl who walks around in a mini skirt and a tight t shirt is responsible for inviting the risks of getting raped. And No, it is not the responsibility of the police to provide a safe workplace for 711 employees. It is 711's responsibility. It is also not the girl in a miniskirt who is responsible for getting raped. Neither is is the police's responsibility to decide how she dresses. It is the responsibility of the rapist.

The federal minimum wage for covered nonexempt employees is $7.25 per hour.
Is this REALLY what you meant to say, ie: that women's clothing choices should be determined by rapists? I thought that gay fashion designers and TikTok influencers made those decisions for them. Who knew.
Has nothing to do with a Liberal government and they stabbed her to death. Why was a 17 year old working the graveyard shift by herself. If I remember correctly it was a former co worker of hers who was fired for theft that was one of the robbers.
