    I got robbed tonight.

    I work at an off-license (liquor store). Yeah, I know. Not the safest job in the world but this is small town England. As far as jobs go, it's safe cause no one has the bollocks to do anything.

    Except tonight. Two townie g-boys came in, grabbed two cases of Fosters lager, and ran. Dropped one on the way out, spilling beer and glass across the sidewalk. Bloody cheek. They couldn't have been anymore than 17 years old.

    So I had the fun of giving a statement to the police (cute officer at least), having to deal with angry customers that wanted to know why we were closed for half an hour (helllloooo, just been robbed. Notice the copper standing next to me please), and I have another shift tomorrow. Yay!.

    I'm wasn't threatened in anyway but **** me, I'm pissed off. I'm left wondering if this is the piece de resistence of the crappy turn my life has recently taken (last guy I dated stole my scarf. Schools sucks. Back in closet to family) or is this the penultimate act and something worse is to follow, like cancer or frown lines?

    So I'm sitting here right now hitting back the only alcohol I could find. Ten year old (at least) cherry brandy.

    Oh great, my computer is ****ing around now too.

      8 views and not one reply at least saying "I'm glad your okay Starchild"? What does it take; a bit of exploratory surgery using a melon baller to get some basic human sympathy out of people? Shall I go ask those nice people to tickle my kidneys with a knife so the story's a bit more interesting?

      God this cherry brand makes me *****y.

            I wouldn't care if they took something and ran. Capitalists stores like the one you work for have no business denying alcohol (albeit crappy alcohol) to kids. They should give away alcohol to the needy.

            But at least you weren't physically threatened. It's not your place of business. So the business loses a few dollars. Boohoo.

              At least you weren't threatened nor lost anything personally.

              Whats all that about? Did you accidently say "Yeah, I was joking after all"? Not that I would know, but nothing good can come from lying about yourself to your own family - you need to have the opportunity to be able to be yourself especially around them.

              Oh well, at least you are ok.

                As long as we all agree that shocking the little hoodlums still would have been fun, right?

                  Funny thing is, the business probably lost more money shutting down for that half an hour than the beer was worth...

                    exactly.

                    I wouldn't even have reported it- unless you are accountable for the correct inventory.

                          Stealing Fosters - those kids deserve to be sent to jail just for stupidity! I mean, if you are going to be stealing alcohol, wouldn't you possibly try stealing something valuable, or at least something that tastes good. Maybe even something small enought that you can run with it and avoid dropping it.

                          I also work at a bottlo (liquor store) and we were robbed during the night a few weeks ago. They got a van near the fire-exit of the store and managed to take $6000 worth of stuff. Sounds like a lot? Well, were it me robbing the store, I could take that much worth of alcohol by just grabbing 12 bottles of wine.

                          These people were so stupid. Rather than grabbing all the bottles of spirits (valuable and small) they decided to grab premixed cases of bourbon and coke. Yes, slightly more expensive than a bottle of bourbon but takes up 4 times the room in their van. Great thinking. Not only that but they were drinking as they were robbing the store. Nothing helps you make a clean getaway like driving around drunk!

                          They were caught the next morning.

                            was the precious alcohol unharmed?

                              Between the people who stole it and the police who arrested them, all the alcohol managed to disappear.
