Sacramento cops seek game store robbers

I got held up when I was working at a gas station back in 2001. I didn't try to stop the kid.
...and then they fired me the next week.

Dude, Samfish that is so weak!

What they say: "Just do what the robbers say. Lives are more valuable than money."

What they mean: "Defend our money with your worthless life. We're absolved of all responsibility because we told you not to, pretending to care about our expendable employees. But if you get a customer hurt, we'll finish you off ourselves!"

@Samfish
LOL, I feel you man, people suck.

In the old days, I was a pizza delivery driver. I was sent on a ghetto run and predictably got robbed at gunpoint (by some genius who was actually inside the apartment I delivered to. Great way not to get caught!)

Any way, when I got back, after the police left the manager was very concerned about my safety.

I'm just shitting you, he took me off the clock retroactively and tried to convince me that I was liable to Pizza Hut for the money that got stolen. I quit shortly after.

That's seriously lame in both situations. I suppose you'd have some form of recourse if they cut you loose for getting robbed....but at that point, why would you want to work for those jerkoffs anymore.

And then the media wonders why we have such disgruntled employees these days.

... that you got fired. Not that you didn't try to stop him!

On the other hand, those Gamestop clerks are total pussies for not taking on the robber. I bet they have a huge stash of first-aid kits and 1UPs under the desk.

Also, that dude doesn't look like he can circle-strafe worth shit.

I was also a pizza delivery guy for PH for awhile. Never got held up, but had a couple of close calls. We had one apartment complex where multiple drivers had been robbed. After the second robbery, I refused to deliver there. The night manager threatened to can me one night for refusing to take a delivery there. I offered to watch the store while he made the delivery, if he thought it was so safe. He canceled the order.

About a month later, I transferred to a different store, much nicer neighborhood.

I used to deliver pizza, too. That was easily my favorite job ever. I never got robbed there, though, thankfully.
...although there was this one time where I brought this lady her pizza and she was arguing with me because I didn't give her her 35 cents change (I had it, but said I didn't because I wanted SOMETHING resembling a tip). So while she was yelling at me this one guy went over to my car and poked his head in the window and started checking out what was in my car.
He was all noncalant and casual about it, too...just taking a leisurely gander at what was in samfish's car. Actually, I'm pretty sure he was high.

I use to deliver sammies for Big Mikes while I was in college. Predominantly, my clients were drunks and potheads, who overtipped out of stupidity quite often.

Sorry you fellas had a bad route :(

First night I got trained in, dude lit up the biggest blunt I'd ever seen in my life while showing me the delivery route. I don't do drugs, but I was pretty impressed at the size of that fucking thing.

One time I was coming out of a movie theater, and this shady looking guy comes up to me and my parents and asks for our money and jewelry. When Dad said no he killed both of em.

I worked as a door to door salesman once. Never got robbed, but I almost got shot when my partner and I caught some old guy with a kid who told us his wife was out with some super young girl. He pulled a gun on us because my partner tried to blackmail him. I've never run so fast in my life. The moral: don't ever go to anyone's house, ever, for any reason. No delivery jobs, no sales jobs, just don't do it.

And they wear shirts.

Shirtsleeves ending somewhere in the range between the shoulder and the wrist, shoes somewhere between black and white, and sexes ranging from male to female.

When i read the police description, my face couldn't have gotten any blanker.

That comment takes on a frightening new tone when paired with your avatar.

Put the Wii and MS points in a bag....friend-o.

lol!

Have you been in any stores lately? Nobody has a shortage of GH:WT. I'd be willing to bet that even Bath and Bodyworks has them in stock.

I was in a Gamestop this past weekend. I could barely move with all the World Tours stacked up in the place.

I see what you did there. You did good, too.

Only 10$ for a brand new copy of Haze?

THIS IS HIGHWAY ROBBERY!

LOL! Yeah, they'd end up coming out behind.

"$10?! Do you know how much shotgun ammo costs... I mean GAS! How much GAS costs!..."

Funny things is, if this was UK, I'd totally expect them to do such things.

Chavs are just stupid like that.

that same thing happened just a few weeks ago where I live, some guys had lifted a bunch of games from a Target and traded them all in to the gamestop across the street. The funny thing is I don't think they got caught, and gamestop took all of the games

I had to take another look at the picture but that was too funny

Hah! I hadn't noticed that.

That shit's hard to find!

EXCELLENT game, though.

Hope you didn't get us all excited over nothing!!

While working as a lowly grunt in a local Gamestop, two large men with hoodies pulled tight around their faces walked into the store near the end of a short, snowy Sunday shift. I knew that shenanigans were about to be afoot, so when one of the men tucked his hand into his front pocket and asked if we had any PS3s, I answered, "No, we do not."

OF COURSE we had PS3s. They had just come out, and nobody was buying them. However, I knew we were about to be robbed, and I didn't want these two asshats to get away with enough money/goods to purchase lunch for themselves later that day. My Columbo sense proved accurate -- one of the men brandished a pistol, and showed me what the tip of a pistol looks like, and told me to give him all the money in the register.

Therein lies the rub -- I didn't know how to open the register. I knew the manager had keys, and could do so, but she was in the restroom in the back. There was a way to do so from the register's software -- but this info wasn't divulged to us grunts.

So, I walked to the back, and got my manager out of the bathroom, and while she started to walk to the front to open the register, the two men started for the stockroom, where they would have seen the towering pyramid of PS3s we had crudely constructed earlier in the day.

Luckily, we got the door closed, and she gave them the money from one of the drawers (hardly anything, again, it was a snowy Sunday afternoon) -- they were very polite, they kept apologizing -- and they took flight. They got caught a week later while robbing a jewelry store half a block away (they weren't the sharpest crooks, they had actually robbed our store before, about a week and a half before the above incident).

The moral of the story, however, is that I love justice (and therefore hate crime) so much, that I'll risk my personal safety to keep ill-gotten PS3s out of nefarious hands.

Wait. How were the PS3s ill-gotten? Gamestop had already stolen them (presumably from sick orphans)?

Thanks Justin & Griffin, that story is 50 kinds of awesome.

Asshat is one of the best insults there is. And the reference to Inside Man is swell, also. Hope your fam had a good holiday seez.

Griffin, I guess this explains why you dislike the ps3. Had people actually bought them, you wouldn't have had to lie and further endanger your life.

This is unlike the other ps3haters, who just lie and act like rape victims.
