It was armed robbery at my store, not gonna go to too many details for legal purposes just in case. But dude showed me his gun, which looked like a Colt Revolver could have been a super old toy, as they were made of metal back then but it looked real enough. Gave him cash from the register and one tube from the safe, then some cigarettes. As he was leaving though I told him I'll see him next time, then realized what I said then said "nevermind I won't" then made a awkward loud laugh and immidiately locked the door behind him.

Dude was tweaking though and I was terrified he would shoot me at any second, just from one wrong move. It was kind of funny though, because dude was so tweaked out he couldn't get his mask over his face hahahaha made him feel so comfortable he didn't put it on when he walked out, so the cameras got his ass.

By the way he robbed another store tonight as well.

Jesus, sorry to hear that.

Whatever you get paid, it's probably not enough to deal with that.

If only you had a insta cop on hand then they could have helped you not be robbed or returned what he stole.

Honestly, it was a mysteriously slow night. Usually cops and people are around cause it's busy. It felt eerie now that I think about it.

Sorry that happened TC but you handled it well

That is one thing I did say, as long as I'm alive and he is alive that's all that matters.

I think him being alive and robbing people at gun point is not a good thing, he could kill someone not being in his right mind.

Yes agreed, but no one died around me. Maybe he will get caught safely and serve prison time.

This is funny.

Im glad nothing worse happened, but Im sorry it happened at all. Getting robbed is stressful enough as it is. Let alone with weapons involved.

Not that I am aware of. He rob the store down the street last week as well. Hopefully the cops catch him. They got a good video of him in my store, so hopefully that helps in his capture.

Glad to read that you are physically safe and unhurt, although you probably need time to decompress.

My dad thinks I should go back to work as soon as possible to help with getting past it. I disagree but I amy have to anyways if no one can cover my shift tonight.

No it's a corporate owned store.

we're all corporate owned and glad that TC isn't dead from that tweaking bastard. i hope it was worth it for him since he'll be spending a decade or more in prison for armed robbery.

also i hope he faces bad misfortune with the ill gotten money gain. especially with drugs (non-lethal of course).

Also I would raise hell if I was in your position and they expected me back at work the next night. Thats just such blatant disregard for the well-being of their employees.

Luckily someone was able to cover for tonight but I have to take vacation time. Sick time is only for COVID and the other virus going around right now. Can't even use it if I get the flu or something.

Can they legally do that? It feels very... not legal.

You should be able to call the state labor board, even anonymously, and ask if they can restrict medical leave like that.

Yeah I don't know if it's illegal or not but it sounds illegal for sure. Hopefully I get into UPS so I don't have to worry about it. Just waiting on a orientation day to become available, hopefully they don't sick me around and I can start on the September 11th like it said when I applied. Cause fuck this corporate ass company.

Well I am an assistant manager but anyone can pull from the safe once every 10 minutes. Others may not be able to pull the $100 tubes without an exchange though. They may have recently changed that though not sure.

Don't forget to write it off on your taxes as a work related expense.

Or better, submit an expense reimbursement request after buying it, and make your DM pay for it.

Hahahaha work related expenses hahahaha this job doesn't even want me to use a sick day the day after getting robbed, they sure as fuck ain't gonna let me claim work expenses on body armor. Hell I don't even have a corporate card. But thanks for the good chuckle hahahaha
