written warnings
When an employee is placed on a warning they receive a copy of this - have you actually seen the disciplinary action form or just what your son and his friends have said? Have you seen his prior warnings? Was he written up for this before? The reason he was written up doesn't sound like something he should get all fired up about. But if he is violating company policy - it is what it is - and it needs to be brought to his attention. That is what manager's do - otherwise their butt is on the line. He may feel like he is being picked on but if he is not following procedures it is HIS fault.
You also have to remember that he was in his manager's office and she was providing him with a warning - if he flew off the handle - stormed out of the store "to vent" that is also considered insubordination. It's ok for him to get angry but he needs to control it.
