Held at knifepoint!

Journal Entry: Tue Mar 27, 2007, 8:34 AM
Yeah, seroiusly. Yesterday the shop I work in was robbed by these two guys. I was the only person on tills at the time and it was pretty busy. I'd been in work for about a half hour. I was serving a woman and I noticed a guy coming up and around to my right. He told me to open the till and I thought he was asking for change or something. Then I noticed he had a knife pointed at me. So I opened the till.

He took about 500 euro and ran off with his friend while I ran off to tell my supervisor. She called the police and I started serving all the customers (every single one of them offered me a cup of tea). The police arrived after about five minutes and I was asked to give a description of the two guys. It was actually embarrasing how little I remembered about the whole thing. I took in absolutely no details about what the two guys looked like or anything. It all happened in about four minutes but it felt like a couple of seconds.

I pretty much spent the next three hours talking to various policemen, giving a statement and helping some guys take fingerprints from the tills and the floor where the guys stood. It was more exciting than my average workday anyway.

Oh wow.
You should have had a rifle under the till.

A rifle would have been handy alright. As it was I didn't even know where the panic button you're supposed to press was. Still don't actually, it's probably the sort of thing I should find out.

Wow, glad to hear you're OK. Exciting stuff.

But that's what the police say. It's amazing how much info about someone you don't take in. I couldn't even tell you what my brother was wearing today and I've seen him quite a bit today. Did these robbers have masks on?

I second the riffle thing though.

Yeah, they were wearing baseball caps and had bandanas covering most of their faces. The more I tried to describe what they were wearing the more I began to doubt myself too, which really helped :lol:

I was shaking for about five minutes after it happened and then I was grand. I even got to skip lots of work talking to police so it worked out pretty well :) I also figure I can guilt my bosses into giving me whatever days off I want for the next three months at least.

Shit! Glad to hear you weren't hurt, hopefully they'll catch 'em and hopefully you won't have to go through anything like that again. :hug:
