‘Lose My Life or Lose My Job’: 7-Eleven Clerk Choked By Customer Fired for Shooting Attacker In Store with Her Own Gun

Twenty-five-year-old Stephanie Dilyard was working the night shift at an Oklahoma City 7-Eleven when her worst fears came true. A customer viciously assaulted the convenience store clerk after she refused his counterfeit $100 bill.

Fearing for her life, she shot the suspect in the stomach with a gun she kept behind the counter for self-defense. The attacker fled and was later arrested at the hospital. He faces multiple serious charges. Meanwhile, Dilyard is out of a job.

The $80 billion convenience store behemoth justified her firing based on strict company policy that bans self-defense weapons, including mace, at work. The mom of three, who has worked the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift for more than two years, thinks the policy is “not realistic,” and her terrifying experience has sparked an online debate about carrying while on the job.
