I just had a vision where I was standing outside with a baseball bat, and just as they come out, I bash their kneecaps to bits, and pee on them.

if the employer has a very high deductable to make a claim, he should be more than happy for compensate you for your loss. If it keeps you working there, its more than worth it. why should you lose out of pocket working for someone else?

I live in that area, Ill order a pizza this weekend and give ya guys a good tip.

and

p.s. i know its probably shitty and scary, but all i can say is it gets better day by day.

couple years ago, I was the sales associate to a Bomb threat, creepo left a letter, and had to close the store call the cops.. turns out he had severe mental issues, and known to police for this kinda thing before. dude even left his name/phone/address at bottom of letter.

worst thing you can do, is take time off. go back to work, otherwise the longer you wait to go back, the harder it will be.

WTFFFFF NOOOOOOO i think its your right to ask to be compensated for losses incurred at work
u can also argue if u didnt' work you wouldnt hav even been robbed
you were robbed WHILE working for your boss so he should be responsible for your safety or losses due to lack of that safety
GO GET YOUR $40 BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



imagine how many slices of pizza that'll buy

isn't it the law that the employer is supposed to provide a safe environment for the employees?

Since she got robbed of her personal money I dont think the boss has to pay her back. But it would be a good gesture for a boss to pay back someone who went through a possible traumatizing experience at one of their stores.
