Gene originally planned to resign via the intercom, but it was unplugged. Unwilling to let a minor setback like an unplugged intercom dampen his moment, he then proceeded to shout at the top of his lungs. \u201cAttention Target shoppers! Consider this my Grande exit,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve been brewing up something more than thankless lattes and overpriced sugar water. My Grande plan to escape this wretched heap dungeon [\u2026] with infant crying ambiance.\u201d He continued: \u201cBut before I go let\u2019s talk about your piss-poor benefits policy. I mean it\u2019s like ordering a large Frappucino with a double shot of disappointment. Sick time? Vacation hours? Ha! You\u2019d be better off asking for unicorn tears. Well, how\u2019s this for a magical double shot? I quit.\u201d Gene\u2019s video has since racked up over 468,000 likes and thousands of comments from TikTok users applauding him for his public resignation. \u201cProud of you bro. My mom was in the store when you quit and was telling me about it and I said I know him,\u201d one person wrote. \u201cI need you to write a script for me because I gotta quit too, and I gotta do it like this,\u201d another added. \u201cYou ate and left no crumbs,\u201d a third said. \u201cOf course I wasn\u2019t shopping at this EXACT moment because you would\u2019ve gotten a standing ovation, my friend! This is AMAZING,\u201d someone else shared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
