Quoted: Two weeks going by does put it in a different perspective, but I still want to know what did they actually ask the guy…just if he dropped it off or where he dropped it off? View Quote In the TikTok he says they asked him and he said he had no idea and told them to check the cameras. He makes different claims in his own video later, after saying none of the lawyers he talked to would take his case. |

Quoted: Nothing sounds like there is evidence of theft. Being a poor employee and an idiot isn't illegal. Firing him is fine, trying to arrest is ridiculous. In the end they were wrong and it wasn't stolen. Fuck that business. They don't deserve to be in business. View Quote I don’t know who this company is, their website sucks and they seem like douchebags. But two things can be true at once. The grossly incompetent employee gave a firearm to someone who wasn’t the shipper and lost it for at least two weeks. And had no clue where he dropped it, he says so himself in his own video. Sounds like the cops agreed there was no theft after they investigated. So good on them I guess. That’s their job. |

Quoted: You know this wasn't handled by the owners, DJ and Cole, right? They have over 30 employees or some shit. Some middle man in the company called LE on the dude. View Quote I have no idea who called, but when the police showed up, they spoke with a guy who appeared to be some type of manager. If that manager felt the police being called was over the top, he could have thanked them for coming over and explained this wasn’t a police matter at this time, rather they were looking for a missing package. |

Quoted: I don't think "I'm not inclined to do business with this company given how they have apparently treated their own employees" (since this story also made some people aware of their previous problems with another employee) is an "over" reaction. If you disagree, and think that people who find their actions unreasonable and who don't want to deal with them as a result, are themselves "over-reactionary shit heads" well, we'll just have to agree to disagree. View Quote I think it's ok to dish the same objectivity on ourselves. Don't spare yourself, you'd miss out on lifes lessons. There's no reason for so many words for simple things. I'm a shit head sometimes, for good reasons and bad reasons equally. Things are complicated. |

Also, finding out the company didn't ask him about it till TWO WEEKS later makes THEM look worse, not him. He's just a guy dropping shit off. THEY are the FFL and have the ultimate responsibility for knowing where that lower was. He fucked up, but he thought he did what he was supposed to do. THEY took two weeks to notice it was missing? Now this makes more sense. The probably felt they needed to pin a "theft" on this guy so their lack of "institutional control" would not come to light and be an issue for them legally. So they're incompetent in addition to their other issues? Well, they must be just dandy to work with. Sign ME up for some knowledge transfer!!! |

Quoted: My question is why did the UPS driver return it? There was obviously a shipping label on it. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: It was an outgoing UPS package. He dropped it off at a Fedex store, and didn't wait for a receipt. Since UPS didn't get it, they didn't scan it in, and fedex couldn't scan in/ship the UPS package. The fedex store gave it to a passing UPS driver, who brought it back to the originating address. In the mean time, since the package disappeared while in his possession, he got arrested. He got "unarrested" as soon as the package came back. He was then fired. My question is why did the UPS driver return it? There was obviously a shipping label on it. Because it was handed to him by some rando delivery guy, not the shipper. The package wasn’t in the UPS system and can’t be put in by the driver. SOP dictates it just be returned to the original shipper so it can be properly put in the system. If the owner fired the employee for screwing up the shipment that is understandable. |

Love these threads!
Pitch forks for everyone. I often transpose the target business in the threads with something like "a yarn store" or "woman's lingerie" and it's quite amusing to see what little bitches GD sounds like. |

Quoted: https://gbrsgroup.com/ GBRS Group is a Veteran-Owned, Tier 1 Training and Services organization committed to imparting critical skills and real-world experiences to end-users in military, federal, State and local special operations units. At the heart of GBRS Group lies the unwavering pursuit of excellence. We don’t just equip, we empower. We do this through a few different verticals within the company. View Quote WOW so many douchebag alarms going off, right there. I am surprised the police were so quick to make the arrest. Tracking information is often not immediately available and updates lag behind package movement. I get why a company shipping a firearm would want to make certain they are being timely in reporting missing/stolen guns but the whole incident just seemed to evolve too quickly to be believable. Even the part about FedEx returning the package to the sender the SAME day doesn’t really sound right either. ETA- From personal experience, if you are expecting a new/young employee to do something correctly, you had better fully detail EXACTLY what and how to do it. Don’t assume they know the difference between FedEx, UPS and USPS. |

These guys may all be assholes, not defending them.
But I expect my employees to know the difference between UPS, USPS and FedEx. Maybe he was calm because while he knew he was not a thief in this case, he knew he was an idiot, and he played a role through incompetence. Lol. Nah. Nobody under 50 has that kind of self-awareness. Any carrier should be good. All the same, right? He is our future. |

Quoted: Where is the bold info coming from? I didn’t hear the cops talk about that. Is there a report I missed? View Quote If you watch the tiktok the employee says they asked him questions but the pkg had shipped 2 weeks prior and he handles numerous pkgs every day so he couldn't remember much about it. But then he says the pkg was in the outgoing smbox for Fedex but it was supposed to go to UPS. I believe his word that he couldn't recall the details. I think his "memory" of it being in the wrong outgoing box was formed after the details about being dropped at the wrong place came out. I'm not saying it wasn't in the wrong box, just saying it's suspicious that he couldn't remember much about the pkg when the employer questioned him but he clearly remembers it being in the wrong outgoing box. I suspect it was either in the wrong outgoing box or he messed up. Either way, somebody made an honest mistake. Having a guy arrested because he can't recall all the details of a shipment 2 wks prior and it seems suspicious bc it hasn't shown up on tracking yet? I say the employer is wound too tight and needs to chill. Sometimes people need to learn hard lessons before they learn to chill out, employer should learn a hard lesson. |

View Quote That's what I got out of it, although it wasn't clear why the package came back. Seemed like a pretty harsh response by GBRS - calling the police on your shipping manager because one package went missing in transit. Yeah, the video showed him carrying it out the front door, but apparently he walked packages out the front door all the time to drop them off at FedEx and other shippers. And that appears to be exactly what he did here as well. And then after calling the police, getting him arrested, and then realizing it was a mistake, they terminated him? Must be more to the story, but based on what's known now, really makes them look like shit. Of course, I didn't read all three pages, so for all I know, the guy has a lair in a hollowed out mountain, staffed with minions in jumpsuits, and a huge laser beam he's going to use to destroy the Moon unless someone gives him one millllllllllion dollars. But reading? Nobody's got time for that. |

Wow these guys are right down the road so to speak.
Needless to say ill never spend a dime there. Business handled it piss-poor Thought they had a slam dunk case against a thief who in all actuality made a mistake dropping off the item to the wrong shipper (not like he threw it in the bushes) Police seemed to have handled it well. Business fires guy likely only because they know they are going to be spending LOTS of money on lawsuits in the pending future, For the naysayers- Imagine making a mistake at work where an item is misplaced and instead of figuring it out and getting disciplined for the mistake your boss just jumps to the cops and says "arrest him brother" YUCK. hope this business closes up shop. They acted and handled the situation like a Libtard. We dont need that here. ETA: Watch the dudes face when the cop tells him to open the box to prove its in there. His face is saying "I dun f**ed up A-Aron" and he knows it. |

Whoever is in charge of shipping should be fired for incompetence. You have someone pack the box, log it's weight, create the shipping label, and when FED EX or UPS comes to pick up the package it is scanned before leaving your facility. That box should not leave your property until it is recorded that someone else is legally in charge of it.
