That's still an armed robbery charge

I have a carry permit, and i an not allowed to bring my gun to work....

Two words: ankle holsters

The employees of my local gas stations are all armed.

laws differ from state to state, and I think employers can make exceptions, like banks, libraries, schools, etc

I don't think the owner or manager of a connivence store can be 'guilty' of corporate greed. Their income is still probably well under six figures.

actually, most corporations are so afraid of potential lawsuits that employee safety in a situation like that is top priority. You're right that they still don't actually care, but if op works for a corporation, he could probably report his boss's attitude to higher ups (like a district manager) and save his job (if he still wants it after this bs). it doesn't sound like he does, though.

I haven't any idea why this is down voted. You're correct, not being offensive.

Both of you are supremely stupid

idk why this had downvotes I said I agreed for a second and then actually thought about it and realized it was indeed a robbery so lmao

Because for a moment you thought someone who had a gun and asked someone to empty the register was not robbing the place. That is why you are down voted.

oh boo hoo

Robbery (noun) - Law. the felonious taking of the property of another from his or her person or in his or her immediate presence, against his or her will, by violence or intimidation. I guess most people would technically consider it intimidation, but since the man was being polite and never showed any actual intent to use the gun there's no way to prove it and by law and evidence it effectively is not robbery.

I love how everyone is assuming he was polite. It said he asked if OP could kindly give him the money. I have asked people to "Kindly shut the **** up." It doesn't mean that the robber was being polite, but that the robber was telling OP to be polite.

But I think we can safely assume the robber didn't yell or raise his voice. When asking someone to kindly do something even if it's "shut the **** up", it's generally going to be in an insincere almost mockingly polite tone of voice. So still no way to prove intent or anything else you would have to to get him arrested.

The mental hoops you have to jump through to see "he was polite" and reach the conclusion that "it wasn't a robbery attempt" is amazing. How do you manage such mental acrobatics?

It's called looking at the facts (at least those we know from the FML) and being logical.
