A California man was fired from his job as a grocery store courtesy clerk after he was assaulted three times in four months.
Austin Sherrell, 23, says he was assaulted three times since the new year and, after asking for worker’s comp, his hours were cut and then he was terminated from his position at Vons, a supermarket chain in Southern California and Nevada.
Austin Sherrell says he was assaulted three times since the new year and, after asking for worker’s comp.The second assault on Sherrell was similar to the first instance, where on March 17 he was again outside at the dumpster, when a man lunged at him with a knife, stabbing Sherrell, but the knife penetrated a roll of trash bags inside an apron pocket instead of the 23-year-old’s abdomen.
On April 1st, the third assault took place when a customer, who was possibly inebriated, allegedly harassed female shoppers.“He’s cussing me out, he’s threatening my life,” Sherrell said. “I back away, he comes back in my face. I back away again. The third time I defend myself, I push him off of me.”
