Today, I was the only employee at a video store where I work when it got robbed. After crying, shaking and spending two hours and dealing with the police, my boss called and told me it was good experience and I would know what to do next time, then made me finish my shift, the night shift, alone.

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was robbed while working overnight at the gas station. They demanded I give them all the cash in the register. Seeing they were armed, I was reduced to tears and complied. They mocked me and took a video with their cellphone. When I told my boss, he promptly fired me for not “fighting back.” FML
Today, my boss asked me to pick up some supplies for a presentation. I entered the store in the middle of an armed robbery, was knocked to the floor, and had my cash, phone and credit cards stolen. When I told my boss the story, she said, "So were you able to get the binder clips?" FML
Today, I decided to cover a coworker's closing shift because she felt sick. My boss even gave me a $10 gift card for doing it. I felt good about it, until I walked outside and found that my car had been stolen. FML
Today, I accidentally set off an alarm at the school I work for. No one was there, I didn't have the code or password the company needed, my boss wouldn't answer his phone, three policemen interrogated me and asked for ID, but realized I left home without my wallet. There was nothing I could do. I cried. FML
Today, it was my second day at my new job as a bank teller. I got locked in the vault while alarms were being tested. I was in there for an hour and none of my coworkers had even noticed that I'd gone missing. Gee, thanks. FML
Today, I got mugged at work. The sad thing is I'm a cop and was trying to catch the people who mugged me previously while off duty. FML
Today, I went to the store, but after I'd selected my items, I saw that I'd forgotten my wallet. When I tried to explain to the cashier, he thought that I was trying to steal and called the cops. My roommate had to come to the store to save me. FML
Today, I decided that I was going to see a counselor due to the high amounts of stress my life. I planned to book the appointment when I got home. As soon as I got home, I noticed I had been robbed while I was at work. FML
Today, I was robbed while recovering from a robbery. FML
Today, I got locked out of a building that I work in (I work night shifts). I locked my phone, wallet, and car keys in the building. I had no way of contacting my boss or getting a ride. I had to walk home at night, almost got hit by a car full of dudes yelling slurs, and had a woman scream at me from the passenger seat of a car. FML

Don't worry. Video stores will soon become extinct. You'll be out of a job in no time.

HP_22 sucks that we aren't friends and that i dont live in the US. I would have gladly spent the whole night with you until you finished your shift, and maybe buy some ice cream for you :) Im saying this because after the robbery, you would have been really scared to work there again and specially at night. I hope you feel better and have an awesome day :)

That's ******* wrong... If I was the manager I would have either stayed with them, sent them home or closed the shop for the night and told head office the situation in the morning....

Allow me to present the correct response the OP should have used when told to 'finish the shift'.. "No ******* way! I'm real shook up and I'm going home. PERIOD! You'd better get over here ASAP because I'm not sure I'm even capable of locking the place up when I leave. And I'm leaving NOW." click So many 'kids' these days have no respect for authority. Here's one that does and is taken advantage of for it.

Getting his pharmacy robbed by armed robbers caused a relative of mine to spiral into severe depression and psychosis. Those of you saying get over it obviously have no idea how traumatic something like this can be.

you realize thats against the law, if you are working at a store and you get robbed at gunpoint you are entitled to up to two days off after the incedent.
