Guys Rob Store with Ak-47, Get Laughed At (Video)

[safeinOhio]

20. I have been told to not resist if I get robbed.

I told the boss that I would follow those rules until the first shot is fired, punch is thrown or knife comes at me. Then I will resist and that I have experience in boxing and martial arts. She shook her head and said nothing.

I've googled (my chain of stores) robbed. There are about 20 or 30 videos. Perhaps 1 in 20 the clerk is hurt. In those that the clerk is attacked, you can almost tell before hand, by looking at the robber that he is going to attack. About 9 out of 10, no weapon is visible. A couple of retired cops that come in have told me that if no gun is shown, there is not one.

I have turned in a blueprint of security measures that I want, including lights on the back of the store, from 2AM until 6AM the parking lot for the bar behind us is dark. A remote switch that will lock the doors if I see anyone coming to the door wearing a mask. Posters with ads taken down that block the view from the out side and to update the crappy video cameras. I was pretty much laughed at.

I've made friends with all the druggies, drunks and low life that come in. They even gave me the name of the person that robbed the store a month ago. Most of my customers take care of me. I've had a 70 year old retiree chase a drive off 10 miles down the interstate to get a plate number for me.

I try to stay aware of what's going on. I try to be nice to every one. I think that is why the other person that works midnights got robbed and I didn't. I'll do what ever I have to do based on my reading of the circumstances. The last thing I worry about is getting fired. I have a nice record built up of things that need to be done to provide a safe work place. If anything happens because of a lack of those request, myself or my estate will have a great case in court.
