    I'm glad you and your co-worker are okay. Y'all live in NOLA and your owner should have the sense to at least have some security to protect not just you two and the other employees but also the company as well. As in cameras, an alarm system, emergency button or a security guard. Is your owner really that cheap to buy a decent security system or is the owner just plain dumb?

      ohmg! I'm so glad no one was hurt

      And I hate the whole "we'll put up security measures soon" - with soon being relative ugh.

      My mother's roommate was jumped, mugged, and almost killed just a couple feet from my mom's apartment and they're still, "we'll put in cameras and more street lights soon"

      I'm sure their "soon" is

        I'm glad you two are okay! Might I suggest seeking employment elsewhere, and *then* leaving that jerk of an owner in the dust and never look back?

        O_O

        How can a modern NOLA hotel even CONSIDER not having at least a security cam pointed at the front desk?! Especially in the city proper? (I live in the ...*ahem* general area)

        I mean, this is a town where the concierges at certain major hotels (as in $200 for the cheap rooms) will tell customers on their way out for the evening "just make sure you go LEFT as you leave the building. You don't want to go into the neighborhood to the right at night"

          I'm glad you and your cw are ok; an uncle got carjacked and even though he gave the keys to the gang, one of them still shot and killed him.
          Time! Time! Time is what turns kittens into cats.

          Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.

            Glad to hear you're okay, hope the bossman hurries up and installs some cameras, at least. And that the guy gets caught.

              I appreciate all the concern, and at this time, I have been working with the police to try to ID the guy. He has committed more crimes as of recently, and is escalating his choice of target. I worry someone might get hurt in his aggression. As to the camera situation, the owner has begun to make changes at the moment, like changes to the way he process cash and he has installed an E button. Cameras are apparently on the way, but he is looking for some bids because he is planning a rather extensive system, which is a good thing. I hate that he did not have the system in place, but the police caught a picture of him from another source. I am vague on purpose just in case. I hope all of you stay safe with your jobs as well and never let your guard down, and never be afraid, its not worth it.
