Fuck this

For a Saturday night shift, it was good in the way that there weren’t any drunks.  I think everyone spent their money last weekend.  In fact, it was a really quiet Saturday, strange really.  However, I hated that shift.  HATED it.  The entire time I was paranoid, because five other servos within the area all got robbed within a 90 minute period the night before.  Luckily most people seem to think my servo is too busy for anything to happen at, but I was so cautious, locking the door even when customers were in the store, and keeping an  eye out for a 4-door white laser, which is the stolen vehicle these fuckheads are using to do their crimes.

At one point I freaked out because I was outside changing bins (a nightly thing I have to do as well as dips) and of course what pulls in?  A white Ford Laser.  And even more dodgily it PARKS near the exit.  My first thought was, ‘This is soooo a getaway car."  I couldn’t see inside because the windows were so tinted, but I knew to keep an eye out for four guys, two of them of Islander appearance.  There was even an article in the newpaper when it arrived about them saying that there has been a 20-person taskforce set up within the Police to try and catch these bastards.  They are armed with a Tyre Iron and have put two servo attendants in hospital.  Did..not..need..to…read…that.

So yeah when that vehicle pulled up I dropped everything and quickly rushed back inside, locking the door.  The car sat there for a while and then took off again.  I have no idea if it was them or co-incidence, but fuck taking any chances.

Fuck this.  I don’t deserve to feel scared in my own job.  My manager even rang me earlier in the night telling me to lock myself in her office if I needed to.  I already know the procedure.  Give them what they want pretty much.  These guys are ruthless and I’m amazed no-one’s caught them yet.  They wear hoods to cover their faces and are responsible for all the Gold Coast robberies last month.  Now they are terrorising Brisbane.  The cops were in this morning just getting fuel and i asked if anymore servos had been robbed, and the guy said there hadn’t, so that was a relief. 

According to the paper, it’s a drug-fuelled operation.  Does not surprise me.  I just hope these cunts get a life sentence.  If they have a tyre iron, my weapon under the counter is a cro-bar.  I wonder which would win?  Only thing I worry about is if I pull out the cro-bar, if they have a gun hidden somewhere, I’m fucked.

GAH.  Too stressed to worry about this.  Couldn’t even do my fucking job properly. 

And once again I find myself constantly asking the same question.

"What the FUCK is wrong with people!!!?"
