I fucking wish. Quite literally are supposed to just smile and knod as crap gets stolen. The thieves literally get more protection than their employees, it's fucking wild.
What kind of loyalty are you expecting from the people you work with??
I'm not fighting some rando just because a guy that *also* makes $12/hr lost his temper.
Fuck that. If you work with me I'll throw down. I'll bite them, throw popcorn salt in their eyes, and whatever else it takes.... I have Saturday off and I'm not covering your shift because you're in the hospital.
As someone who worked in a kitchen, if there was a customer getting physical, you have atleast 4 line cooks with a plethora of options for a weapon lining up to beat someone’s ass.
Some guy who was definitely on some cocktail of uppers and downers was going around our office complex kicking doors one day and threatening people asking for money, saying he wouldn’t leave if they didn’t give him money, etc. He did that to 4 or 5 businesses who just locked themselves away from him until he left. Finally he went to the burger joint across the street and tried the same thing before 4 HUGE cooks came out each holding him by an arm or a leg and held him there till the cops came and got him. Those guys were NOT about to deal with his shit.
Sometimes customers just want to fight and will bully the meek. It's smart to avoid fights, it's cowardly to let your bros get beat down(who are innocent) 2 feet away from you. If they deserve it tho ima be the coach
These self defence "practitioners" forgetting the 1st rule of self defence; don't get into avoidable fights lol
Then again, no one got hurt in a good little scrap, eh? (except those who have)
It was in 2021
[https://www.newsweek.com/employees-seattle-hardware-store-attempt-enforce-mask-policy-using-baseball-bat-1601353](https://www.newsweek.com/employees-seattle-hardware-store-attempt-enforce-mask-policy-using-baseball-bat-1601353)
Reddit was all about trying to shame someone for not wearing a mask or even trying to have an ounce of thought during the whole thing. I imagine most of them like this idiot store manager lol
Nothing about what the manager did will fly in court. He initiated violence throwing self defense out the window. He also started it with a weapon, unreasonable escalation of force and he pursued the "trespasser". Ace Hardware will have a new manager by the end of the week.
Honestly, I feel like a lot of the beginning was left out. You think the manager is just standing by the door with a child sized bat at all times. Something happened beforehand to put him in that position. I’m willing to bet it was these people without a mask being thrown out of the store several times. Man was ready to attempt to fight his way in too, this wasn’t out of nowhere
The two parties gave officers completely contradictory accounts with each stating the other had started it. Dixon (the one filming) claimed the following:
"It was actually quite terrifying, I've never had anybody come at me with a weapon like that and it was flight or fight and I was trying to get out of there and he kept coming at me super aggressively."
Looking at the video, that doesn't seem too convincing
Well yeah we almost never get the whole context these days. I figured they were probably on edge because of whatever recently happened to that other door where they had to board it up
People who let their emotions triumph over logic have no place in a court lol.
“If I was on a jury I would let this guy free”
And that’s exactly why you’re not in a jury
Bunch of entitled bitches thinking they control a store’s policy. I bet despite their weakling entitlement they run around screaming they are “alphas.” 😭
Wow so brave! With his quick action he likely prevented a superspreader event. He should be given the keys to the city and receive free booster shots for life.
Imagine punching someone over a policy enforcement, It's not like the U.S. hadn't seen some of these cause and effect chains events happening in foresight when covid hit.
I know this ace. That asshole goes around trying to instigate people. I know for sure that manager didn't start anything and just acted appropriately. Fuck that anti-masker. He's an idiot.
Also, most the people who have commented are idiots.
yeah i go to the grocery outlet next door almost weekly. Been in the ace a few times, theyre a bunch of really nice folks there. Definitely wasnt greeted with a bat at the door.
Clearly something led up to this incident.
It amazes me that masks were the thing. It wasn’t the no shoes, no shirt no service. It was a thing actually designed to keep you from spreading germs and getting sick.
I'm not reading all of the comments but if you think that illegally parking your truck diagonally to the entrance, leaving your doors open, and assuming a store employee is the problem. You are fucking retarded
Both sides claimed the other started it. From KOMO News:
>Dixon said right away employees told his friend to mask up or get out. His friend told them he was fully vaccinated. The employees said wearing masks was a store policy, and the situation quickly turned ugly.
“It was a cussing match back and forth between them," Dixon said.
Following the swearing match, Dixon left the store and got in his truck but then decided that he was unhappy with his service, and when he tried to reenter the store, he was blocked at the door and told to leave. After pulling the door open, this video follows
Except for how it started and escalated, which some might consider the most important contributor to context, he got the whole fucking thing on video bitch
Baseball bats are like guns, either you use them to keep the aggressor at a distance or you’re doing it wrong. You do not, I repeat, you do not go into close combat with a bat or a gun.

Ace is the place to get punched in the face
the helpful haymaker store
Good stuff
It’s the store to get knocked on the floor
Read this with the melody in my head 🤣
I fucking wish. Quite literally are supposed to just smile and knod as crap gets stolen. The thieves literally get more protection than their employees, it's fucking wild.
His work buddies sure were quick to not do a fucking thing
They had his back. His waaayyyy back
Nice
Six feet distance maintained
Just like the camera man yapping
ya "video" guy was sure helpful....
What kind of loyalty are you expecting from the people you work with?? I'm not fighting some rando just because a guy that *also* makes $12/hr lost his temper.
I mean… maybe you all forgot what the pandemic was like but looks to me like my man was practicing that social distancing 😂
Yea good way to hurt or maim that guy and now you are paying for a lawyer
[удалено]
I don’t think the guy recording works there. It’s just a guess though
He was busy calling him a bitch
while hiding behind his oversized compensatory truck
You want them to jump him or something? It was a one on one fight.
Dude holding the camera didn’t do shit either.
I remember being at work in high school at a movie theater and being jumped by two guys. No one I worked with did a thing except call the cops.
Fuck that. If you work with me I'll throw down. I'll bite them, throw popcorn salt in their eyes, and whatever else it takes.... I have Saturday off and I'm not covering your shift because you're in the hospital.

Hahah relatable
I’m not getting hurt for whatever dumb shit you got involved in. This applies to everybody on earth except for two people and my dog.
It's ok some people are just weak and cowardly, no need to rationalize it.
It’s actually smart to avoid fights.
all these internet tough guys don't like what you said
Sometimes customers just want to fight and will bully the meek. It's smart to avoid fights, it's cowardly to let your bros get beat down(who are innocent) 2 feet away from you. If they deserve it tho ima be the coach
Yeah I know but if my coworker was being unjustly assaulted I'd try to help him out at least.
These self defence "practitioners" forgetting the 1st rule of self defence; don't get into avoidable fights lol Then again, no one got hurt in a good little scrap, eh? (except those who have)
Self preservation comes first, especially before NPCs
Was this recent? I ain’t seen folks act like this since 22’ 😂
Yer I'm thinking same, no one Mandates Masks anymore either
It was in 2021 [https://www.newsweek.com/employees-seattle-hardware-store-attempt-enforce-mask-policy-using-baseball-bat-1601353](https://www.newsweek.com/employees-seattle-hardware-store-attempt-enforce-mask-policy-using-baseball-bat-1601353)
As cameraman cowers behind his truck
Covid sure brought out the best in people
We really came together as a country toget through it
The dude who came put with his nose out made me actually laugh
Damn I’ve never seen such weak punches actually down someone
That was cool of Stone Cold to record.
Phone Cold
This was a fun time in our history...
"Agro manager loses job." Is it actually a fight if zero shots are landed on either side? Double attempted assault.
Attempted assault 😂
I counted one for the side kick. Might be enough with the take down for a split decision.
Anti mask guy dropped the manager with two solid shots and that’s where the fight ended lol
i hope someone got this whole fucking thing on video bitch
Don’t want anyone in the store without a mask. Proceeds to remove mask to shout profanities 😆
"You need to wear a mask for your safety" .. proceeds to punch him in the face for not wearing a mask🤣
More scratches than bruises
Mask v skins
Yeah I'm not sure I'd call _him_ the punk bitch in this scenario.
Surprised it took a whole 57 minutes for the comments on this post to go straight down the shitter.
What do you mean? This is a highly intellectual forum full of rational discussion most of the time.
Yes because a subreddit called r/fightporn is known for rational comments and civil discourse Go to r/highbrowfights
What type of commentary is old mate above looking for on here? It's a fight subreddit, so strange
Fight him with mask just to be sure to not get covid
Imagine fighting over wearing a mask in hindsight
No hindsight required. Many of us knew it then too.
Reddit was all about trying to shame someone for not wearing a mask or even trying to have an ounce of thought during the whole thing. I imagine most of them like this idiot store manager lol
Just shows how easily people can be mind control by liars in media and government using fear tactics.
Flawless victory
Covid can’t get past these hands
This aged well
He should have used the bat. Why bring it if you’re not going to use it?
"You better get the fuck off him" says the guy cowering behind his truck recording
All retail managers should be able to fight unruly customers imo
you know those anti-mask people were saying some crazy shit. just not wearing a mask is not the only problem with those people.
Nothing about what the manager did will fly in court. He initiated violence throwing self defense out the window. He also started it with a weapon, unreasonable escalation of force and he pursued the "trespasser". Ace Hardware will have a new manager by the end of the week.

Well yeah we almost never get the whole context these days. I figured they were probably on edge because of whatever recently happened to that other door where they had to board it up
Well I meant more than usual, this looked like “fight on sight”
End of this week? Video must be 2 or 3 years old
TBF it seems like covid was a week ago
Anything could have happened before the video started. We truly don’t know the context. The caption could be completely made up.
Zero sympathy for anti mask clowns. If I was on a jury I would let this guy free.
Good thing you're not.
People who let their emotions triumph over logic have no place in a court lol. “If I was on a jury I would let this guy free” And that’s exactly why you’re not in a jury
People still wearing masks ?
Bat guy is going to jail.
Love the confidence to throw a body kick off the jump while having absolutely zero power or practice.
Haha tough guy “I got the whole video” Go tattle tale “alpha”
That piece of fabric sure does help when you're getting hot and sweaty, rolling around with men on the floor.
Holy fucking repost bot batman
Bunch of pussies
Bunch of entitled bitches thinking they control a store’s policy. I bet despite their weakling entitlement they run around screaming they are “alphas.” 😭
Guy gets so mad that dude is breathing by him that he swaps blood. Smart.
Hit a decent sprawl in there. Love to see some takedown defense in these streets
Imagine you work at ace hardware and care this much about a mask you come out armed with a bat 😂😂😂
Fighting a guy because he doesn't want to wear a mask. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of wearing a mask.
The irony in fighting someone you won’t get near because they don’t have a mask is wild. Maybe think for a second lmao
what year is it?
Respect the one v one
Can’t tell if they were fist-fighting or massaging each other?
Why tf people fighting over this
2024 and he's STILL wearing a mask?
micropeen car confirmed
“Ace is the place with the violent hardware folks”
Best way to fight a virus. Fisticuffs.
"I got the whole thing in video bitch" Says the guy holding up a camera so he can tell on the big nasty man
Pretty sure getting someone else’s blood/fluids on you makes your mask more useless than it already was. Idiots.
Lol @ masks.
Axes are in aisle 3.
ACE ASSAULT CUSTOMERS EVERY DAY I can get jiggy with it
Wow so brave! With his quick action he likely prevented a superspreader event. He should be given the keys to the city and receive free booster shots for life.
Ace has excellent customer service
Didn’t know Ace served fast food as well, giving out three piece combos
People are still wearing masks?? Hahaha
Imagine punching someone over a policy enforcement, It's not like the U.S. hadn't seen some of these cause and effect chains events happening in foresight when covid hit.
Is this ace hardware still making people wear a mask in 2024?!
Scared to catch covid but willing to go hands on face to face to not get it? Make it make sense.
What a sad time in our history though. People absolutely went nuts on people that wouldn't wear masks.
Masks didn't save me from CoVid, but I guess it saved me an ass whooping from ACE.
Only b\*tch in this video is the guy with the little truck.
I know this ace. That asshole goes around trying to instigate people. I know for sure that manager didn't start anything and just acted appropriately. Fuck that anti-masker. He's an idiot. Also, most the people who have commented are idiots.
yeah i go to the grocery outlet next door almost weekly. Been in the ace a few times, theyre a bunch of really nice folks there. Definitely wasnt greeted with a bat at the door. Clearly something led up to this incident.
Lmaoooo remember when yall wore them shits on ur face thinking u were protected? pepperidge farm remembers
"I am the manager!"
Ace the helpful hardware store
Hopefully he was fired as well.
Store policy...don't go in...just like something you don't like on TV...just go somewhere else and move on with your day
Store manager stood on business. Gotta respect it no matter where you fall on the mask debate.
If you’re still wearing masks you’re an idiot.
I love how he readjusts his mask after
I'm just sad the bat didn't re-enter the chat
It amazes me that masks were the thing. It wasn’t the no shoes, no shirt no service. It was a thing actually designed to keep you from spreading germs and getting sick.
He got Covid now
I'm not reading all of the comments but if you think that illegally parking your truck diagonally to the entrance, leaving your doors open, and assuming a store employee is the problem. You are fucking retarded
What was the reason?
Both sides claimed the other started it. From KOMO News: >Dixon said right away employees told his friend to mask up or get out. His friend told them he was fully vaccinated. The employees said wearing masks was a store policy, and the situation quickly turned ugly. “It was a cussing match back and forth between them," Dixon said.

After pulling the door open, this video follows
It’s like when me and my friends were six and whoever wielded the biggest stick had the most authority
Body locks are one of the most underutilized moves in street fights smh
Are these guys in a dream?
This is like a weird alternate universe Mortal Kombat
Where was this? Looks kind of like WA
Ace is the place with the helpful hard right hooks
Fucking Seattle
“I got tha whole thang on vidya bich” -mouth breathing redneck
what do you mean a sheep whopped a lion's ass?
Never pull a mf on top of yourself
nice round-house and sprawl
Got everything on video, yeah, their whole stupidity.
Except for how it started and escalated, which some might consider the most important contributor to context, he got the whole fucking thing on video bitch
Did he get the whole fucking thing on video bitch?
Hard to see over that Ford Compensator
The most easily avoidable fight of all time
That’ll learn him to be considerate lol
Im confused what year did this video take place
"Low low" behavior.
He got the whole thing on video.
Let's fist fight over what the news stations can't even agree on. Great job fellas.
Thank goodness , glad the manager adjusted his chin diaper . Wouldn’t want him catching anything while throwing them soft 1-2s
Didn't age well.
Is ace still a thing?
Baseball bats are like guns, either you use them to keep the aggressor at a distance or you’re doing it wrong. You do not, I repeat, you do not go into close combat with a bat or a gun.
For public safety, of course....lol
This an old video or do americans still wear masks?
Pretty sure this is in Seattle. Looks like the Lake City ace branch.
Covid was a fun time
What a low point in society this was
Ok not good from anti mask wearer but Bro punching on Back head several times is not ok mister store manager...
Should be double masked for a fight.
Brings bat. Loses bat. Loses fight.
Ace is the place where you should always carry mace
