We’re all thankful for the essential workers who keep the grocery stores open during the COVID-19 pandemic. We don’t have any statistics to back up how many minimum-wage grocery workers have died from the coronavirus, but maybe award-winning multimedia journalist David Leavitt has some inside information.
Grocery workers are beginning to die from #coronavirus
For $7.25 an hour.

We’d applaud Leavitt for caring so much about people who work retail, but his name rang a bell with a lot of people. Isn’t this the same guy who called the police on a Target manager who wouldn’t sell him an electric toothbrush for a penny? Why yes, yes it is. “I’m shaking still,” he tweeted.
Might be a good time to go brush your teeth.

This from Mr. retail-worker demeanor himself. Nice try though.

Like that woman you harassed over a non-working display toothbrush?

We haven forgotten about the toothbrush incident buddy.

I seem to recall you trying to get some of these people fired over a toothbrush.
— A Bear (@Bearocalypse) April 6, 2020
Remember when you tried to get one of them fired because they wouldn't sell you a toothbrush for a penny?

As someone who actually works at a grocery store, I think it's pretty ironic that you're suddenly acting like you care about grocery store employees after you not only called the police, because a Target employee wouldn't give you a toothbrush for a penny, you also publicly…

…shamed said Target employee on the internet, because she wouldn't sell you the toothbrush for a penny. Did it ever occur to you that she had simply been doing her job, and that she didn't actually have the authority as a cashier to give you the toothbrush for a penny?

Dude who tried to get a Target manager fired suddenly cares about retail workers now that it’s socially convenient to do so pic.twitter.com/BEB206j2Mk

Hahaha.
You're like the munchausen by proxy parent for retail services.

You should speak to the manager about this…

They'd get paid more if you stopped demanding deep discounts on toothbrushes.
— Guy Faux (@Faux_Guy_) April 7, 2020
Don’t forget, this is the same guy who streamed a live Periscope video of and named and shamed a McDonald’s employee who wouldn’t give him a refill. Because he cares so much about minimum wage workers.
Dont pretend like you care about minimum wage workers
— //????\ (@uss1234566) April 6, 2020
Wait David, you now care about a minimum wage worker? Til you can’t get something for a penny then you will naturally dox and call the police on them.
— A camo(papa) Who Laughs… (@camopapa0410) April 7, 2020
'member that time you tried to destroy a retail worker's life for not giving you a free toothbrush?
— Mister Cornface (@MrCornFace) April 6, 2020
Your picture is in the dictionary under: hypocrite, sociopath, and narcissist. Congrats.

He probably should have sat this one out.
