After over a year of working at my little North Philadelphia Subway, the inevidable took place, in a most dissappointing way. Someone finally tried to rob us.
A man came in and waited in line holding a bag of chips for about 10 minutes. Lacey finally noticed him and asked if all he wanted was the chips. He said yes, so she asked Shahidah to go and ring him up. When they got to the register, he told Shahida that he had a gun in his pocket and to be quite and not make a scene, but give him all of the money from the drawer. Shahidah being the crazy bitch she is, loudly said no and told him to get out. They argued for a little bit, but people began to notice what was happening and the fool just left (he even left the chips and said, "You can keep these.") How generous of him.
As if that wasn't ghetto enough, he went down the street and tried the same stunt at 7-11 and Hollywood Shoes. The latter of which was where police caught up with him and arrested him. As my friend Sean observed, he must have been thinking of the adage, "If at first you don't succeeed, try try again." He seemed to have misinterpreted "succeed."
