How is the boss an ass? SOMEONE has to take care of the store, and the manager can't really call up the other employees in the middle of the night asking if they want extra hours NOW. He could close the entire store down for a few hours but those kinds of places have all kinds of 24hours advertising, so that might not be wise. At least he tried to be encouraging about it instead of telling OP to suck it up or something similar.

Um... Manager should come in and finish the guy's shift so he can send him home to sleep off the stress.

The manager might not be able to call others to work. But he can work himself. When I got robbed on my shift we closed the shop. It's as simple as that, and I was offered crisis-therapy. Standard offer here, and not once did I hear anything about having to finish my shift. F the manager, sue his ass!

to #61 get robbed while being the only employee working in a store during a night shift and see how you feel.

Why does everyone resort to suing ? What is the world coming to? soon it will be, "someone stepped on my toe." "Sue him!!" Geez

61, you're such a douchebag.

Lol, 61 has a very good point and the rest of you people are all vaginas

especially since this he is a she

Geez, what the hell happened to you?!

Careful in some states tasers and mace are illegal without a license to handle them

Get a shotgun. $50 doesn't seem worth it when you're facing the recieving end of a shotgun.

drm free downloading, here we come!

LOL too true.

Tell that to our civil litigation system.

#5, sounds like the entrance to a porno doesn't it?

haha because it's going to be robbed again? Yeah it sucks and there's probably emotional stuff but the chances of it getting robbed again are slim to none..plus the OP didn't die..thats always a plus

The boss is an ass. But on the bright side, getting robbed twice in a night is highly unlikely....

it's not an overreaction....I would be scared shitless...a girl alone at night in a store that just got held up...Usually women aren't even allowed to work at night in gas stations and such. It's an EXTREMELY scary thing. People get raped and murdered everyday.

This is not a very fair assumption to make. I was robbed at gunpoint while also working at a video store. Even the men I was working with were traumatized and upset - some employees even went on stress leave after the incident. I couldn't even imagine being in the store by myself when it happened. How awful! And for her boss to not let her go home - that is terrible. Being threatened and robbed is not something you just get over. Have some compassion, you cold-hearted fools. ps. I agree with #11. He would owe you that much.

Lol I would LOVE to see what you would do if you had a gun to your head. If the robber told you to suck his hot dog, you would like it was the best hot dog in the world. Don't talk down to people because it didn't happen to you. You are sitting at home in a chair typing on the computer like some bad ass. Your statement is just pathetic.

WTF is your problem?

I assume you have never been robbed.
