Survived the weekend

Fri-Sun 10pm - 6am was my most recent work schedule at Sinclair's. I do feel like I survived and escaped with my life. My first two days of training I made $29 and $98 in tips, but graveyard sucks ass. $5, $0, $25. You know your life is semi-fucked when you are thankful to have $25.

Back to escaping with my life. I have a feeling that I will get shot if I continue to work there. Is it worth $7.50 plus the occasional tip? As I heard on talk radio, anyone getting paid $8 an hour definitely needs that $8, the same is with me as of this moment. So around 330am Monday, these two Russian guys come in. This elderly lady Jeanne (~75) that I work with comes over to me near the register and says watch these two, their relative tried to rob us last month and they are not allowed in the store.

WTF??, so before going into work that shift, I had premonitions of getting shot. So near 330am, I hear this from my coworker, I watch these two guys, and they are just loitering near the back, then one grabs a bag of bread, wtf??? bread, then heads over to the lunch meat.. wtf???, I notice the other looks up occasionally and stares at Jeanne then looks down. So anyways, they looked faded, the end up grabbing $27 worth of stuff, including a jar of pickes.. wtf?? When he grabs the jar I assume that he got it so while I'm scanning the bread he can throw it at me... wtf??? i think I'm losing my mind.

So as he reaches in his pocket i half expect to see a gun come out. But no, it's just cash. So after these fools leave, I ask her about the robbery, she said that this friend of theirs came in on swing shift (2-10pm) and tried to hold em up with a knife, this two fillipina chicks ran em out of the store and called the cops. Since the guy lived in the neighborhood he was picked up.

Back to reality, I have a feeling that if I get shot, it won't be trying to save this old broad, but it will be cowering in a corner screaming "DON'T SHOOT ME" wtf???
