So, allow me to explain the current situation in a few simple notes.

- A Week ago, a Waffle House in South Colombus was Robbed, they used weapons

- The same people attacked a different Waffle House last night. Gunpoint and all. Same day of the week, time, etc.

Guess which waffle house MAY be next? (And is the only one left in Colombus)

And guess who is working that night.

Yup. Shitting bricks right about now.

What would you do in my situation? Honestly, I dont know what to do, and I cant quit my job. And I cant just assume next week we are going to be robbed, but at the rate this is going...Yeah, not looking too good.

My Boss told me this morning in Private with my Aunt Cathy about this, and told me basicially what all I have to do. Keep large bills in a un-openable vault that only the Managers can open, and just give them everything else in the drawer if it so happens next week im fucked.

*sigh* Yup, im not doing too good.

What about calling in sick? So what if they get a little annoyed with you. Why risk your life or health for a job where the people treat you bad and only give you 20 or so hours a week for a small paycheck?

If you really don?t want to do that I don?t really see what else there is to do except quit and tell your uncle that you really really really really want him to help you get a car so you can get the TSYS job.

First thing is a car, and I cant get the TSYS job without a car.

It sucks, I know, and its absolutely retarded for me to risk my life over some fuckin waffles, but I have to in order to make money. One way or another.

Might I also remind you that so far, no one was hurt during the robberies. Just emotionally stressed.

Edit- And diddnt someone fix your layout? Damnit all to hell, the TABLES ARE BROKEN!

Ouch yeah. And no so far no one had been able to fix my layout. ^^jjjj

But yeah why not get your boss to get cops to stake out the place for a bit? That way if the robbers come around the cops can catch them hopefully.

Yeah, has your boss contacted any authorities about concerns or anything? I'd say they should give that zone a little protection, or -something-.

Well im sure the Authorities aren't going to just let it happen, or at least try not to anyways. Im pretty sure they will have our place covered for awhile.

Least I only gotta work one day next week. I think Gerald said hes going to hire another cook and let this one huge Black guy named Freedie in on our shift.

Him and I are pretty cool, and im telling you, Hes like huge, as in built like a Tank. He eats bullets.

Isn't really risk on your life at all, just cooperate. It's not like there's a serial killer on the loose.

Have they hurt anybody at all? Just hand over the money and you have nothing to worry about.

**shrugs** I mean...yeah, nothing wrong with being a little nervous...but...don't show it. And if, heaven forbid, something DOES happen, be calm and cooperate, like everyone else said.

I mean....I don't want to be insensitive toward the situation. That shit has happened to be several times. Xeios was robbed a few times at work too I think. I never had a gun pointed at my face or anything (at work that is) but I apparently talked some guy out of robbing my store. He came in concealing a shotgun in a trenchcoat. Well, my boss and other people caught it, so they called the cops while I was obliviously talking to him...**shrugs** WHAT?! He was a real sweetheart toward me actually...some guy came in the store, and he was like "Here's my ride, I gotta go." and he kinda left urgently with the other guy and they robbed the store next to mine. Which actually makes me wonder if it was one of them cases where someone was in that bad of a mental shape that they felt they needed money so badly that they would do that. He was really nice and didn't hurt anyone in the other store either. Didn't even try apparently, just made off with the money.

Then there was the time I spoke with the guys that were in my store first, eyeing my boss and I, until one of my other co-workers came in from the back room. Turned out they were gonna try something, but decided against it, and went next door (that poor store) and took the girls working there and tied them up in their backroom while they robbed the place.

I've had quite a few close calls. I've been a customer of my store, back when I was younger, just before high school, when it was robbed. Yay!

All I'm saying is, take it from someone who lives in an area where that shit happens everyday almost...don't put your life on hold, techniaclly accidents can occur anytime and you shouldn't get scared and hide in a bubble.

But if you don't feel safe and you don't think there are enough precautions being taken, then do as Fennicy said. Call out. Just because anything can happen any time, doesn't mean that you have to knowingly walk into danger either, ya know?

i'm sure I didn't help at all.

You'll be fine.

You won't be risking your life as long as you comply. Just do as your told. It sounds heartless, but seriously, they tend to not hurt someone if they can help it.

One employee was working in a back storage room and hid back there during the robbery," Joiner said. "There was no phone back there for him to use. The other employee was robbed."


Way to be the hero there, buddy.

I know there was nothing he could do, but it just sounds funny. The first thing I was going to suggest was to get help from the police. Next Nagis, I would advise that you put your wallet and any valuables you carry somewhere safe and hidden. That being said, it's a good idea that your boss wants the high bills in a safe. They'll be very disapointed about not getting much, and may even suspect that there is more, but then you won't know how to get to it. You know, they may not even hit your place on the expect night. They might end up changing the date to go. That's what I would do to throw people off.

Wouldn't it be ironic if he got switched to a different day, and that turned out to be the day they robbed the place?



Huh?

I request this thread be closed.

It was a mistake to create this thread, not because of the personal opinions of those who have posted here, but the fact that I should not have made this to begin with: Because I at first wanted to keep this to myself.

Looks like I have alot of thinking to do. To myself, and to those who post around me.
