How much money do these people even get?
It’s like Homer Simpson robbing the quickie mart.

But why?

The station isn’t even selling gas (pumps are all fenced off for apparent tank replacement) so the crook probably figured there was less chance for many customer/witnesses to be there. But why on earth would they keep the inconvenience store open at night with no gas customers and almost no place to park.

Nitwits at both ends of the knife.

I had a conversation with a few employees there one morning when there were some shady characters in there. These people are not allowed to defend themselves in a robbery. To me that is ridiculous. I asked if any had thought about getting their ccw and they said they wouldn’t be allowed to have it. I’m sorry but sometimes giving the cash register isn’t enough. These people need to have a chance to defend their lives if need be. This stuff is happening to close to our homes.

not only close to your home but also by a neighbor. its the end of the month, which is also a good time to shop at Costco and Winco, do the math.

Again? When will they get a security guard. Employees must have PTSD and work for minimum wage. Worse yet they can’t confront these punks.
