Lay the blame

By jobless - 13/09/2015 14:07 - United States

Today, a guy came into my gas station, showed me the gun on his hip, and asked me to kindly empty the register. My asshole boss claimed afterwards that because we live in an open carry state, and because the guy didn't point the gun at me, that there was no actual robbery and I just gave him free money. FML

You can get much further with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word.

Your boss is a ******* idiot. But that guy isn't really *that* dumb. Most gas station stores don't have audio recording on their cameras. Add in the shit quality of the cameras and it would take little effort to make it look like the cashier just handed over the money without any provocation.

Even if there was audio, being polite makes for no way to prove of the man actually having any intent to use the gun.

OP do you think it is worth taking your manager to court for that? If they penalised you for it? I mean they might have a policy document on what to do if robbed, but ultimately this was a traumatic event and your manager acted appallingly.

Oh... Oh man. Dude, I'm so sorry. Your boss is clearly incompetent, but glad to hear you're okay.

If you have a visible gun or weapon on you and ask for (steal) money from a store it becomes armed robbery or the equivalent crime based on the state. If you haven't already you need to file a police report and then report your boss to human resources if your company has one.

He should imagine himself in that situation, he would probably do what you did too.

There have been people who have robbed stores with bananas hidden under their jackets and pointed like a gun. Who cares if e didn't point the gun at you, he showed it to you and asked for the money. That is a threat. Period. You did the right thing OP. Your boss is an idiot!
