So we had an attempted robbery. The man was quite possibly the stupidest person in existence who hasn't removed himself from the gene pool already.
When conducting a robbery, a)don't assume the girl behind the counter has any fucks left to give after being a veteran of customer service b) do not look down the barrel. c)if it seems to be going according to plan, you are about to be fucked d)do not point the gun at anything you aren't willing to have hit.
Noted when dumbass was trying to hold us up that he definitely was high on something, probably weed given the smell, and using an old school revolver. But i also know to treat every gun as if it is loaded. I commented on his choice of weapon (what? I grew up military, hell I had my grann's old revolver in hand before I could string a proper sentence together. Probably says something about how fucked up my family is that they thought children and guns were a good combo. Besides how often do you see an actual revolver during a robbery nowadays?) and asked if the gun was loaded.
and what does he do?
POINTS THE FUCKING THING AT HIS FACE AND ATTEMPTS TO LOOK DOWN THE BARREL like a bad cartoon.
So he asks for the till money, which protocol says hand over. Then he asks for the safe money. So I take him to the walk-in cooler at the back. Open the door and walk in with dumbass. There's a cabinet near the freezer door that looks like it could be a safe if you aren't looking dead on. And at the end right beside is the freezer, then another door through the freezer to get outside because it's easier to drop recycling out then to go all around to the front of the store and then all around to the back again.
Told him I needed the key and our boss was too cheap to spring for a real safe, slipped into the freezer, blocked the door with frozen pizza boxes as high as me in that annoying spot where the door won't open properly (hence the other reason for the outside door). Ran around to the front and jammed the cooler door shut with an office chair between the door and the desk. So he was effectively trapped. Then informed the cops that we had an attempted robbery, the robber is locked in the cooler with his gun and said money. I inform my coworker not to open the cooler or freezer as I locked an asshat customer in there and that I was taking my break.
Don't think she actually believed me until the (hot, why are all the saanich cops so good looking?) cops showed up.
While I'm moving my ass away from the door asshat decides his foot needs another hole in it. I'm not sure why he was aiming at his foot and playing with his gun but he managed to put an extra hole in himself.
Apparently yelling out "shut up I'm on my fucking break" my reflexive reply to anyone disturbing my quiet time was deemed hilarious to some.
Adrenaline rush was useful for getting everything done as I was behind though.
