Robbed at Gunpoint! * 1
    #19194920 - 11/27/13 01:31 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Yep. No bullshit.

About 5 hours ago at work, a dude came into my shop to look at some items. As I was ringing him up, he whipped out a little .25 and politely asked for the cash. At first, I thought I was being fucked with. Quickly I realized it wasn't a joke...

Crazy shit.

He got $700 cash from the till and about $250 worth of merchandise. We have another location that was hit by the same dude RIGHT beforehand. The news just hadn't reached me yet....fuckin nutty.

At first, I brushed it off and wasn't really thinking about it. But for the last few hours I've been doing dabs with my buddies and recounting it for them over and over and the more I talk about it, the more tripped out I get! I'm just glad to be alive.

Life is crazy.

You should've disarmed him and pistol-whipped him...

Just kidding, fuck that...

Never put your life at risk to save some cash that isn't even yours.

or try to work some kind of compensation angle from some kind of government body.

The dude apologized like 4 times during the encounter. Claimed his family was poor and he "had to do this".....I can't help but wonder if he just wanted food on the table for Thanksgiving.

Some people do what they have to do to survive. I honestly think that people like him, if shit ever hit the fan. Would be much better suited to survive than someone "moral" self preservation at others expense yada yada yada.

At first I read the thread title and thought "another dope deal gone wrong and was gonna give the explanation of "welcome to the game bitch" but shit. I have neeeeever  been robbed at my place of work. Glad your okay and he wasn't a dick robber

Compensation culture in the USA is pretty ridiculous.

An ethos which believes that all misfortunes short of an Act of God are probably someone else's fault, and that the suffering should be relieved, or at any rate marked, by the receipt of a sum of money.

it's an expectation that your place of work is safe. if your employer cannot provide a safe work environment, then you are generally entitled to some sort of settlement.

There's no way for the employer to make sure every employee is safe 100% of the time. You can't strip search every potential costumer. OP did the right think by complying with the robber, that's typically your best bet.

Fuck me, but that is all out-of-bounds, OP.  Glad you are okay.  It could have turned out a lot worse if he was some kind of sociopath or something.  Wow!

I completely agree bro. It's one thing I'm bitching about today. If I had been given a heads up, I could've ID'd the guy as soon as he walked in and made a sneaky call on my cell phone. He was in the store for 5-10 mins before he made his move....more than enough time for the fuzz to arrive

All in all, I'm good, just tripped out! Gonna go see some live music tonight and probably eat some cyans and enjoy the night! I'm extra grateful for today.....it's like some Tyler Durden shit....except I don't wanna be a veterinarian....

It took you 5 hours to make a thread about it??? I'm sorry but that's unacceptable. Threads about traumatic events should be made within the hour.

Weren't you suppose to have immediate access to a shotgun so you could kill the guy?

Not so much.  He wasn't harmed.  If he was harmed, he couldn't sue his employer, anyway, because he is required to go through worker's compensation.

I've been tied up and robbed and somebody else got shot in the leg during a home invasion (not my home).  The thing I remember most is wishing I had some weed to calm down but there was none to be found and we had to take the dude to the hospital.

Yeah, it was a long time ago, as in the late '90s.  But I honestly thought I was going to die lol.  I can chuckle about it now, but at the time and for a good while after that I was shaken up.  Good thing OP is okay.  When folks get desperate there's no telling what might happen in a situation like that. 

Incidentally, the guy who was shot in the leg was shot by his own gun while the robbers rifled through his pockets.  I couldn't see as I was on my stomach with duct tape on my hands but I heard the shot go off close to my head.  My ears were ringing so it wasn't immediately clear in the confusion what had happened.  The robbers panicked when that happened and that was scary because they were so jumpy.

Needless to say I found some new friends and most of those guys are now in a bad way.
