Used to live near there in the 1970s

It wasn’t so wild back then

She was supposed to use “store items” to defend herself. Hit him between the eyes with a strawberry slurpy. LOL.

I lived on the South Side of Chicago in 1968. It was wild back then, but not nearly as wild as it became lately.

Yikes 😳

Leroy Brown was pretty bad back then.

[Eleutheria5]

That was the heyday of the Blackstone Rangers Federation, too. PC was just beginning to rear its stupid head back then. He wasn’t white, contrary to the Sonny & Cher cartoon.

I might have been beat up by a young Mr. T. Got beat up a lot for the crime of being white, AND a wise-a@@.

And she probably would have been dinged if she accepted the obviously fake C-note...I can’t remember the last time I got gas, or otherwise used a 7-Eleven store - now I know why....

Re: "Un-thinkable Punishment"

Can anyone on this thread name one major USA retail corporation that allows non-security employees to carry concealed guns?

Of course not.

It would be impossible for that corporation to purchase basic liability insurance if it did.

[Eleutheria5]

What was in her purse was there for just such an emergency. If she and/or a customer had been killed, that would have raised their basic liability insurance as well.

Comes a time, you just have to say f@#$ it.

Nah, the QT’s down here in South Texas at least always have at a minimum 2 people in them at all times. Found out why when the 7-11 across the street from my usual QT got held up at gunpoint less than 40 seconds before I went in for my morning coffee one day. Something else they do, though I do not know if it is standard practice, is it have nevwr seen more than one person “on the floor” at a time during the overnight shift.

Have a friend that just got promoted here

I’ll check with her about local policy
