That does suck but as others have said, at least you were OK.

hotreds · 10-01-2009, 03:50 PM

Yup- don't blame yourself- and it looks like you'll have the last laugh!

ade06 · 10-01-2009, 04:00 PM

Glad you're ok and no one was hurt!!!

longknocker · 10-01-2009, 04:13 PM

Sorry, Mark. Hope They Catch The 2 Punks!

The Poet · 10-01-2009, 04:14 PM

Mark, better to get played than get shot. I've told every kid I've trained in retail, if somebody comes in and demands the money, give it to them. Paper or plastic? Thank you, don't come again. Be grateful it was just money, and not enough of that to be worth the trouble they will find. As for you, sit down with a drink and a smoke, and repeat after me:

Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . . . . .

Not your fault man, nothing you could do in this situation. Sounds like you have a really level headed boss too. No one got hurt, let it go, these kids will get caught.

rizzle · 10-02-2009, 10:58 AM

Ain't nothing worse than a thief.

10-02-2009, 11:08 AM

That really sucks. It wasn't your fault though. You were doing exactly what you were supposed to be doing.

kenstogie · 10-02-2009, 12:28 PM

Well that does suck but I don't think you got played, well sort of. And like others said at least no one got hurt. 300 beans is not that much in the whole scheme of things.

Silound · 10-02-2009, 03:42 PM

Yeah, a small safe in the shop somewhere will definitely kill that problem.

Some guy tried to pull that stunt a few years ago here. He didn't reckon on the 6'6" 360-pound (former defensive tackle) plainclothes city police Captain walking up behind him and sticking a .40cal Glock in his back.

Made for an interesting day, what with police reports and cleaning up the piss stains in the carpet.

You'll see the ex-employee again out in the street somewhere, right? Payback, it can be a *****!

10-04-2009, 08:36 AM

joke apart im glad you DIDNT show him the Tats you are better sound and safe and sorry!

dang man sorry to hear that, good thing nothing violent and nobody got hurt. I will never understand petty thieves, to risk getting into quite a bit of trouble to get $300, probably split between the two idiots !?!?!?! just not worth it for me

TripleF · 10-04-2009, 08:41 AM

Sorry bout that Mark. I always try to be on the lookout for suspicious lookin kids......and YES that "looking and not buyng" does happen all the time.

I'm very thankful you were able to report this on CA!! .....that's all I'm sayin'.

captain53 · 10-04-2009, 08:43 AM

Just PTL the little punk did not pull out a 6-shooter in the humidor, to hell with the money!
