Today, a guy came into my gas station, showed me the gun on his hip, and asked me to kindly empty the register. My asshole boss claimed afterwards that because we live in an open carry state, and because the guy didn't point the gun at me, that there was no actual robbery and I just gave him free money. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, while working third shift alone at a gas station, I had to deal with a crazy guy tripping balls and asking me if it was okay to bring a gun into the place. I don't get paid nearly enough for this. FML
Today, my boss asked if he could pay me in guns. FML
Today, I stopped by the gun store to pick up a new concealed weapon for protection. As I was leaving the store, a man came up behind me, hit me with a crowbar, and stole my gun. FML
Today, I got robbed at the gas station I work at. After only getting $38 dollars out the register, the guy then stole my purse. It had my rent money in it. FML
Today, my friend was pulled over and told to get out of the car. The officer motioned for me to get out of the car too so I reached behind me to get my shoes. He then pointed his gun at my face and frantically asked my friend if I had a gun. My friend calmly replied, "No, but shoot him anyway." FML
Today, I was late to work and couldn't get my gas tank open. Panicking, I asked the only person around to help me who happened to be a very large man. He was able to open it for me and seemed really nice. That is until he pulled out a knife and robbed me. FML
Today, a man tried to rob the store I work at. Before the guy was taken by the cops, he complained to my manager for "unfriendly behavior". He took it seriously and bitched me out for not providing "quality service" to our customers. FML
Today, a couple came into the gas station where I work to ask for directions. While I was giving the woman directions (and even writing them down to be as helpful as possible), the man stole my wallet out of my purse that was sitting on the other end of the counter behind a display. FML
Today, I was at work when two sheriff's deputies walked in. They asked me my name and when I told them, they asked me to turn around and they cuffed me. They told me I was under arrest for robbery. Turns out I was mistakenly IDed, but now every one at my job thinks I'm an armed robber. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Better not to work for someone who values money more than your life

Depending on the state you live in, you can actually sue your boss for negligence. Even though it is an open carry state, many (if not all) convenience store chains have statutes requiring that the manager/boss post a "No Weapons Allowed" sign on the premises. If they fail to do so, and you get robbed with the threat of a weapon (even if the robber only "brandished" it and didn't point it at you) you can sue for negligence, for unnecessary risk to the life of an employee, emotional damages and financial damages if you lost your job. I would seriously consider doing that OP, your boss is a galactic asshole if he actually fired you for getting robbed. Hope you find a way to turn all this around, buddy.

And yet there are people who still think open-carry is a good thing...

Hope you called HR and had that asshole fired, sounds like the ****** is more concerned about worthless money than your own life. You had no idea if he was a true threat or not, if the gun was loaded and the safety off, you didn't know. Better to comply and live than to refuse and get shot.

If he seriously believes that and won't back down, tell him you'll go to the local news with the story to see what they think. In fact, you should anyway.

Get a lawyer. Your payday will be *fantastic*. Pro-bono lawyers will be delighted to take your case, too, just Google 'free lawyers (area)'.

I hope you told the police officers what your asshole boss said to you. They may have a chat with him.
