Fuck yeah, I almost got shot.
Okay, so I work at a small sandwich shop. On friday nights, we have a fish fry, and it's our busiest night. This particular friday, there were only 2 customers in the restaurant (regulars), and we were closing at 9. It was about 8.45, and the only people in the restaurant were me, another dishwasher (my friend turner), a waitress (a sophmore girl at our school) and a cook (a senior at another high school). There was also todd, which is another story altogether. He works there full time.
So at 8.45, a guy walks in with a big puffy coat on, his hood up, and a scarf wrapped around his face. It didn't seem too weird because it's Wisconsin, and it was about 0 degrees fahrenheit. He did push the waitress, which was weird, and that's when we realized that this wasn't normal...
He walked up to the register, pulled out a glock, and told us all to get on the ground. The two customers got on the ground, while me and the other employees just stood there in shock. He yelled and told us to open up the register, and pointed the gun at todd. Todd opened the register, and the robber grabbed all the money in the register, which ended up being close to 1000 dollars. He then pointed the gun at the cook, told him to back up, and ran out.
A few seconds later, todd calls the cops, and they show up in less than a minute. Strangely enough, another waitress (also a sophmore) was in the basement of the restaurant the whole time this was happening. She was on the phone with her friends, and she was just walking up the stairs as the man with the gun was running out. She hung up and asked us who that guy was, and I turned to her and said "That guy had a gun, he just took all the money in the register."
So that's what I did Friday night.
And nice new skin on the site.
