Devin Washington gets a job

Chooee sends us link to the story of 18-year-old Devin Washington (center in the picture above) who was interviewing for a job with Manager Danyanna Metoyer and assistant manager Dominique Griffin when this happened;

Pablo Ciscart, 50, asked the cashier to make change for a dollar, reached into the cash drawer, grabbed a handful of cash and attempted to run away.

Metoyer blocked the exit and Washington grabbed Ciscart in a “reverse bear hug.”

Ciscart, realizing he couldn’t escape, threw the money on the floor and gave up. Washington and cook Michael Ford held him until police arrived.

Needless to say, Devin got the job. I guess there are some teenagers out there who know the proper way to be able to afford their clothing and the things they need. According to People, Devin said “It was the right thing for me to do because I was raised the right way.” Isn’t that always the way?

Washington was known as a peacemaker at the inner-city school. When fights would break out, he would use his size and the respect he commanded to quell the violence.

“I was the big guy on campus, it was up to me to do it,” he says.

Washington says he was once adrift in life, struggling with what he described as “an anger problem,” but that he developed a sense of purpose when his daughter was born.

“It was time for me to be a man, not to play around and be a kid,” he says
