But it feels so good when you get to...

I loved being able to tell an old rude lady off when I worked my last day in a jewelry store. I hated that job.

The people who think Freedom of Speech is Freedom from Consequences are the people who abuse retail workers and get a discount for it.

Unless it's their last day on the job, or they are the owner.

Republicans don't care about freedom of speech. They care about the freedom to lie without consequences

I did that for a glorious 2 weeks when I had quit my job! Best 2 weeks of working ever!

...To your face. They don't tell you to go fuck yourself TO YOUR FACE. We definitely say it behind your back (if you're an ass).

Well Starbucks does, that's what the wrong names thing is all about. It's subtle, but it works.

Freedom of speech also doesn't mean a right to an audience. The gov't has no obligation to force private corporations to provide a platform.

freedom of speech is a defensive right against the government

Why I had so many different retail jobs, but very few references.
itsthevoiceman
We need more retail employees to be empowered to tell shitty customers to go fuck themselves. Because it sets a precedent.

Worked in retail for 8 years... I can vouch for this post
BioGoji1989
It's true. Most of us really, REALLY want to tell that to customers... but we know the consequences and keep our mouths shut.

So goddamn true. If I wasn't going to lose my job, I'd have yelled at so many people.
TheGreyReality
I'm more inclined to say that to my co-workers than the customers tbh

My boss allowed me a limited number of "go f yourself" per year (kinda). I used it a few times. One guy once wanted something that /1

does not actually exist. Used one then after 10 minutes of being yelled at.

What we need is consequences. They've been able to do literally criminal things and then back away saying "oh didn't mean to" for too long.

“Just because they beat that guy up and he died doesn’t mean he died because they beat him up.” These people are disingenuous scum
Altanese
Yeah you get a LOT of those arguments. They're too far gone to even consider the possibility of a single iota of wrongdoing by their side.

Dear friends and family, the 10 min racist tirade I went on at chuckie cheese is not reflective of who I am, and I apologized to the child

But they only incited, and gave material, financial, and intelligence support to a terrorist insurrection.. Certainly we can put that

You can always back up my information Ms. Katy, and that's what I appreciates 'bout you.

Is that what you appreciate about me?

YOUR SISTER'S HOT, there I said it.
BaronMontesquieu
It's definitely not. But it's also a fundamental right. You have the right to say what you like. But you're accountable for what you say.
EaNasirsExcellentHighGradeCopper
There are limitations on even free speech. Inciting violent insurrection and "Won't someone rid me of this troublesome priest"ing your
EaNasirsExcellentHighGradeCopper
VP are obvious non-protected speech.
BaronMontesquieu
You're free to say it. You're not free from the consequences of saying it. You can't muzzle people (legally).
Wastyvez
You can. There exists this weird notion that freedom of speech takes precedence over any and all other fundamental rights. It does not. 1)
Wastyvez
As soon as the freedom to express your opinion begins violating the fundamental rights of others, there can be natural and legal 2)
EaNasirsExcellentHighGradeCopper
Well thats like saying you're free to brutally murder people with a hammer, Youre just not free of the consequences for doing it.
Kagenical
Which, I mean, is technically true.
BaronMontesquieu
Except it's not, because brutally murdering people with a hammer is not a fundamental right enshrined in law.
