Unlike most middle managers, when Muhammad Saad Al-Beshi says “heads are gonna roll”, he means it literally. He’s the leading executioner in Saudi Arabia.
When asked if the job had social drawbacks for him, Al-Beshi said that “There are no drawbacks for my social life.” As the lead executioner in a country where justice is meted out Klingon-style, he probably gets treated exceptionally well wherever he goes. I’ll bet he doesn’t get the crappy retail treatment when he goes into stores.
