Hard disagree. Retail workers have it bad enough and the situation has to have been absolutely awful for this guy to actually get arrested instead of coddled by management.

I tend to agree. Superficially, attacking someone with a poptart sounds funny, but I'm sure irl, it was more like repeatedly punching with the poptart in hard or throwing a bunch of shit around like a pouting toddler. I imagine the worker was a child or elderly too and not the 6'2" guy they make stock the high shelves.

Edit: I was wrong... he did just throw a poptart... but it was while shoplifting, so that explains the arrest.
