Head Chef
When I was cashiering at 7-11, we had an ATM in the store. The guys were loading it with money one day and one of my customers got his feelers hurt. I guess he leaned over to look at the money on his way in and the guard very deliberately raised his gun at the guy. "All I did was look!" was what he told me. Well, don't look next time. They take their job seriously.
I worked grave at that 7-11 and the cops would just sit across the street sometimes and watch the store for a bit. One customer sped into the parking lot and backed in in a getaway position and then came running into the store. He just wanted to beat the deadline for getting beer, but that cop across the street was in the store in a nanosecond. As I recall, that customer complained, too, but hey, when you rip into the parking lot, back up to the door, and run into the store, what do you think is going to happen?
I always did like what one cop said, though. "When we get a call to a 7-11, we never know who the victim is going to be, the cashier or the customer." In my case it was probably true. I kept a bat behind the counter and I let the local hooligans know it.
