I needed some brake fluid for my pickup and I went by there and to my surprise a county mountie was sitting in the parking lot.The clerk was much relieved ...I had a good talk with the deputy, and thanked him for calming the clerk down.There has been a lot of robberies around here lately by hood rats.If Dollar general would stick a few cameras up on the outside it would give the cops a vehicle description,which they usually don`t have.
true, the more cameras the better. i am not certain if there is some sort of insurance discount having them as well, and if not, then there should be.
the cop car you saw there, may not be there forever. it is costly to have a cop sit. detail pay, is when the cop(s) are off duty and they do that extra work, but i know here, it is double time they get. not too many businesses can afford to pay detail pay, over say any multimillion dollar construction site, as one example.
that is the danger of ANY employee, working ANY job where there is a cash flow. 24 hour stores get robbed, mostly cuz they have "some cash" on hand, cigarettes, and can be robbed at (say) 2 AM, over 10 AM. not that broad daylight robberies do not happen, i think most robberies are done at night, or in the wee hours of the mornings.
the clerk will just have to get over it, or quit. she may be entitled to some sort of short term state disability for counseling to help her thru this time. if not, oh well.....
get another job. yeah i know, easier said than done, but what is the alternative? stay there, get robbed again, maybe sexually assaulted, or killed.???
