Last night, I was at work. I work at a video store and am there on my own most nights. I was talking to a customer when a man came in and started looking for videos. After about 10 minutes, the customer left and I went out into the store to finish my cleaning, but then he was ready to be helped. I asked him for his phone number, he gave me one, but (obviously) it was not in the system so I asked him if he had his driver's license with him. That is when he told me "I am a total drug addict and I have a gun. What you need to do is open the cash register and give me the money." He told me everything was alright afterward, that I just had to wave at him and smile and give him 5 minutes, then I could make my report. He was incredibly calm about it all, as if he was just renting a video. Even the police and my manager commented on it. I was so scared, I was shaking. I'm alright now, I was pretty much alright after he left. The only thing I didn't do was lock the door and press the panic button, I didn't even think of either...
I work again tonight, she said if I don't want to, I don't have to, but there's not much of a chance of it happening again, at least not tonight and it's better to just get back into it, or else I probably won't be able to. I've been there a year and a half, and this is the first time anyone has been robbed while I was working there. I will be having Dan (the guy I'm sorta seeing) coming to the store about 10 tonight to keep me company and make sure I'm alright, though I think I will be.
