They have a policy against making emergency calls?
What idiocy.

What a coward. I hope he needs help and someone refuses to call.

That sounds like the European policy towards terrorist, "don't make them angry."

Dear woman,
Get yourself a .38 snub nose revolver next time and blow the next robber away. You cannot count on the police, gas station jockeys, or the sheeple to protect you.
Sincerely, EEE

This brings to mind the example some years ago of Ravenswood Hospital in Chicago. A man was shot in the alley outside of the hospital, not more than 200 feet from the emergency room entrance, and the the staff wouldn't go out and get the guy when asked. Pathetic.

If we call, then there are problems. They can hear.
They can hear? This is idiotic.

I would suggest the cops investigate the clerk and the clerks family as suspects in the armed robbery. Obviously the clerk was working in collusion with the robber, either a family member or friend.

Makes me wonder if the clerk was wearing one of those stoopid 'don't be a snitch' tee shirts.

Why don't they install a button under the counter like they have in banks if they're so afraid of the criminals?
Isn't it illegal NOT to report a crime committed on your property? Particularly something like armed robbery?
Somebody call up the local ambulance-chaser! This church is in for an oil-company windfall just in time for Christmas!

The question remains; why didn't she make the call herself?
The piece doesn't disclose whether she had a cell phone or not.
To: School of Rational Thought
I would imagine she would have called if she had a cell phone. The object of the story is why is the owner of this station such a CS a**hole not why she didn't use a non existent cell phone.

I thought it was unwise to turn your cell phone on or off, or otherwise use it at a gas station...
I guess you can tell I don't use mine all that much...;-D

I hope he needs help and someone refuses to call.I agree. One bad turn deserves another, and always return evil for evil.
Just remember, when you fight fire with fire, the main thing you get is a bigger blaze.

The gas station's manager said he was sorry about the robbery, but clerks at the station do not make emergency calls from the front counter, fearing retaliation for criminals. Guess not having any customers is a good idea.
