So, I got robbed today

[black lincon]

I should probably point out that whilst the title of this post is technically accurate, it's not strictly true, and it's there to grab your attention
If you are reading this, it did
If you are not, I apologize

Anyway, I work in a shop that will remain nameless, but it is part of a chain of such shops around the Country, and at about 10 past 7 this afternoon, whilst I was making sure I hadn't made a mess of taking peoples money, someone walked in, picked up two nameless products off the shelves, walked straight past me and shouted "I'm not paying for these!" and ran out

I would have probably given chase to him had any of these following criteria been filled
1 - I didn't totally not care
2 - He'd hit me, or otherwise been abusive
3 - I got paid enough to give a shit
4 - The items in question came out of my wages

All in all, it was more amusing than annoying, breaking up my otherwise dull and uneventful afternoon

This is the second such robbery in the last month, though the time before it wasn't me behind the till

I hate my job...

Pussy. I was robbed at GUNPOINT in a BASKIN ROBBINS. Until someone threatens to shoot you, you have not been ROBBED!

Good sir, you have made me laugh today, I thank you.

 

[duchaked]

hahaha like the 4 criterias

I know it's off topic but this isn't Twitter.

Someone once tried to rob me.
"Give me your wallet!"
"No."
He ran off.

Brilliant.

i worked in a shop, too, and i can totally sympathize with you. by the time i left there i probably would have done the exact same thing for the exact same reasons. particularly as the bit i usually worked in was out the way and other people rarely came up so if something happened no-body would know until another customer came in. but, anyway, oh well. i'm sure the company wont go bust because of it and i very much doubt you'll be caring about it any time soon. i do like the way he said 'i'm not paying for these' then walking out rather than the 'grab and run' that usually happens.

Um...good for you?!

If we really care for the customer we'd send them somewhere better.


It takes months to find a customer, but only seconds to lose one... the good news is that we should run out of them in no time.

yea..
that..

Wait... The guy was desperate enough to bring an armed weapon into an ICE CREAM STORE? Damn...

 

[The_Chief]

sounds like it was pretty damn funny.

 

[Fightgarr]

Seriously?

"CHOCOLATE AND VANILLA, BOTH OF THEM, ON THE FUCKING CONE, NOW!"

Don't gimme none of that plain shit! I want premium! Gimme the triple chocolate fudge! ADD MARSHMALLOWS *****!

Buddy, what kind of a discussion is this supposed to start. Its the kind of story that we go, "I do that same shit", to but maybe pose a question after? Or something to start discussion. Better, post it in The Customer is Always WRONG [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.70218?page=1].
The thought of a sith at a Baskin Robbins is funny. The thought of a sith getting robbed while in Baskin Robbins is fucking hilarious.

Sweet man... you should of yelled after him that he dropped his tampons just to see if he'd turn and look

Wait, what? That sentence was quite messy.
EDIT:Oh nevermind I see what you were saying.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Ha! Someone tried to run out of the shop I work in carring a 150 watt Marshall guitar amp. For those of you that don't know, this is roughly the size of two three year olds strapped together and weighs only a bit less.

 

[Pimppeter2]

You should have thrown items at him, then laughed when he picked them up

 

[Gaskell]

Wow, you must look like a total wimp.
Anyway, funny story.

I hope not
I see myself more of a gentle giant

[painfull2006]

hah how amusing

just out of interest, what did he take?

 

[Sparrow]

Um... that's nice?

If you want people to read about and be interested in this sort of thing, you might want to get a blog.

Yea, Thats why I haven't posted about my possible stalker.

Snap. This shit catches my attention, because I have one too.

May both of you tell your stories please?

On topic: that was a funny story. Reminds me of the time when someone stole my cone of chocolate chip mint ice cream and my shoelaces.

I had an older girlfriend when I was 13. She was 15 (Yuss, this made me feel a stud). Anyway, things were getting sketchy, so I called it off.

Three years later, and I meet her again. She takes my number, tracks down my Facebook, tracks now my MSN and manages to find out where I live. She followed me to the cinema last week. She followed me to a club on Saturday, and guess who followed whilst I walked my dog this morning?

A mob of angry squirrels trying to kidnap your dog because your kleps is actually an alien from the planet dogland sent to earth to murder baby squirrels?
