The videos have garnered more than a million views since being initially posted on Jan. 29. Though Carter has yet to share the “storytime” viewers are repeatedly asking for, hundreds of commenters shared what they would do in this situation. 

“I’m too confrontational to hide I’d just be walking out to them like what’s the problem?” a user commented.

“This is where I would’ve started swinging and GLADLY accepted the charge,” another shared. 

Others were concerned for the employees’ safety, questioning whether any law enforcement was called. 

“I don’t understand, why not just call the police?” one viewer questioned. 

“Y’all don’t conceal carry at work? I highly recommend,” another advised.
